Convoluted Absolutes lyrics

I feel numb

And think we`re half asleep

Our collective sense of outrage

Has gone the way dodo birds and Model T`s

We`re being trained

We tell them what they want just to appease

It`s the end of absolutes

Welcome to the death of meaning

Mice will run a maze for cheese

Koko signs her A - B - C`s we think she`s talking to her kitten in the corner

Pavlov`s dogs would drool if they could hear their chiming cue

Just like them we`ve been conditioned



We`re going dumb

Have we forgotten how to speak

Would mute cries fall on deafened ears

If we could get ourselves to give voice to our pleas

We`re so well trained

That`s the way it is and so we`ll let it be

If there are no absolutes

Our objections have no meaning

Birds will learn to talk for treats

Flipper laughed and danced to please and avoid electrocution

Pavlov`s dogs would drool if they could hear their chiming cue

Just like them we`ve been conditioned



Feeling numb

Half asleep

Being trained

We`re just like sheep



Going dumb

We never speak

So well trained

The truth we never seek
