Social Dynamics for the Teflon Mind
a song
(bellicoso)
I’ll tell you something, just to be sure you know
This could not be avoided, we had no choice but let you go
All this time you’re thinking- clouds carved like cinnabar
That’s quite the undertaking, to keep yourself removed so far
You try to tell me secrets that I do not really want to hear
All that voodoo mumbo, the UFO is drawing near
You cannot paint my portrait if you stay within the lines
And try to use less color on
Social dynamics for the Teflon mind
(accelerando)
I did not see this coming, flying low beneath radar
It’s only sound distortion, chasing dreams with my guitar
I don’t remember when I last signed up for this race
But of one thing I can be certain, I did not win or show or place
I did not mean to force the issue, in fact it might be one I missed
The item in discussion was absent from my scheduled list
I’m a distant cousin of the product of Frankenstein
Social dynamics for the Teflon mind
(con fuoco)
H.P. Lovecraft’s reading incantations from the Book of the Necronomicon
And the old ones take a look outside and say no thanks we’d just as soon stay gone
This Minotaur is feeling sore, and don’t want to guard the maze no more
I’m tired of all the bloody laundry scattered on the bedroom floor
Bring devastation, clear the strain- erase the board and start again
Maybe this time we’ll let the women take the reign
Well I can curse the time and tide that left me stranded here inside
Another victim of resisted suicide
It only stands to reason that I should be the one left behind
Special re-education in
Social dynamics for the Teflon mind
(a tempo- diminuendo)
You think you’re really something and I guess it’s true and what you are
Outside the institution but never wandering out too far
There’s monsters in the closet and creatures lurk beneath your bed
No fear of mutilation, it’s better than this plastic
Non-stick
