Thought "Better the devil"
Forever a settler
Ever regretting not betting for better
Forever indebted
And shuffling tethered
And shovelling sh**, trying to get it together
But whatever
Never did want to be
One of the herd, you heard me
Whatever
Never did want to be one of the herd
The worm will turn
Stripped of the pa**ion
The pattern got cyclical
Trapped by the rational
Slapped with a typical
Schtick and a carrot
With cash as the catalyst
Sat in the saddle and
Cracking the cattle whip
Whatever
Never did want to be
One of the herd, you heard me
Whatever
Never did want to be
One of the herd
The worm will turn
And the bland are leading the bland
All heeding to safety
And all reaching their hands out for you
Caught up in the chain gang
And bound by throat
You're damned if you do now
And damned if you don't
A chip off the block at the top of the field
The co*k of the walk is a cog in the wheel
Oh what have you done?
It's becoming so cumbersome
Dumbing it down just to
Drum up the numbers
s**ing the fun
But you're getting number
Just rum-pa-pa-pa-pummeling run after run
And you're bored of the walls
And you're bored of the floor
And you're bored of the wolf always clawing your door
Bored of the formula, bored of conformity
Good Lord, I'm bored of applauding the ordinary
