Patterns

Puzzles and toy boxes in the little children's classroom

Oh how they they were mesmerized

As they soon knew how to do it all

With the patterns they memorized

Oh my brain, can't I give it a rest?

There be some light with these unemployment checks

The Government taketh, and giveth away

No more complaining, just another day

College bound seniors look at their futures

Through a scared youthful glim fish lens

And they guess they know how to do it all

From the same patterns they'll just repeat again

Oh my brain, why won't you quit?

I'm still so young, and don't wanna commit

The Government giveth, and taketh away

No more complaining, just another day

Now they're all bound to the same nine to five

Still staring at the clock on the wall

It's the same goddamn thing, that we did before

When we we forced to walk through the halls

Oh my brain, why won't you work?

I guess there's no pain if you just can't hurt

The Government rapeth, and taketh away

Maybe I'll complain, but it's already too late
