about

Written March 1998

lyrics

Mass invention blew a million more
Wasted creations to the public door
A million more things I could never use
I wanna waste my time, I gotta pick and choose and I'm tired

Marketing schemes from a million companies
Intend to invent a million images for me
A million products that I have to buy
And a million services I have to try and I'm tired

Ah, mama, don't let me drift off to sleep
These maniac messiahs give me madman's dreams
Because they speak like lightning with their rocket speech
And they slowly pressure me to believe

A million suggestions playing musical chairs
A million full houses beat a million pairs
A million guitars play wasted tunes
And a million sunsets break a million moons and I'm tired

One million sweepstakes giveaways
A million advertisements all night and day
A million gimmicks in a million molds
A million stories told and left untold and I'm tired

Ah, mama, don't let me drift off to sleep
Don't wanna live somebody else's fantasy
There's still a million more thoughts I wanna think
But they offer me their cup and force me to drink

I've got a madness runnin' 'round my brain
Offered up to me by the corporate train
Ideas implicated by tyrannic airwaves
Empty-headed boxes hold a billion slaves and I'm tired

I've got a new school of fascism in my face
A universal decree of what is now okay
Shovellin' trends to the public trust
And all laid prey to the moth and rust and I'm tired

Ah, mama, don't let me drift off to sleep
I'm levelled by a storm of mediocrity
Too many people settle too many don't try
Too many saw through the ice and fish for alibis

Let me think 'til I'm hungry let me summon the nerve
To work until I'm weary and take what I deserve
Don't wanna feel innoculated from the absence of these
Don't want a brain-dead body try to make me believe that I'm tired
