Rx Bandits

Would you believe
What I said if I shoved it down your throat?
How unusual the lettered backdrop
Do you wonder where you are
The meaning of the words?
Push the plunger, say good-bye
Consent to manufacture, a brand new opposition
It's starting right now
Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can't see
Much too bored to look for
Touch the surface flow and ebb
With nowhere left to go
If I could only live like this
Ideal in its birth, a drunk bewildered herd
Follow the leader, come pin the tail
Caught in misdirection, our spectacle distracts
And it's just the right time
Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can't see
Much too bored to look for
We always say it, we never mean it
If that's enough if that's enough
That's the way it looks and no one's asking why
