Be Like Them

[Verse 1] It's nothing new Hungry cats Getting fatter minds and thinner ideas Nothing new about that Too little of this Not enough of that Nothing new about that [Chorus] Insomnia dogs me In this tired year [Verse 2] It's history Rabid dogs Tearing skeletons Into piles of bones Nothing new about that Too little of this Not enough of that Nothing new about that [Chorus] They play it all for you They explain it all to you Telling you to Be like them, be like them [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] A state of irritation With leisurely pace They lay it down for you They set it up for you Demanding that you, too Be like them, be like them Be like them, be like them Be like them [Verse 3] It’s a cracker joke A cheap surprise Painting in the corner Repeat flagrant lies A shortage of ice Big increase of less Standing far apart World dying at your feet [Chorus] They play it all for you They explain it all to you Telling you to Be like them, be like them Demanding that you, too Be like them, be like them Be like them, be like them Be like them
