Recorded July 1989

lyrics

Join the army
Fight in a war.
Have a baby
Work in a store.

I hear it in both ears from the
Schools that want a well defined saviour.
Theres got to be a better way to
understand and encourage creative behaviour.
Can you blame it on your daddy?
Has he just been made the caddy
For a lot of resentment?
Can you blame it on your mommy
'Cause she had you in her tummy
When she was full of life?

Join the army
Fight in a war.
Have a baby
Work in a store.

Everybody knows who I am
And has an opinion of me.
There's a waterfall within
That appears to become this opinion

There's a stagnant bog of nightmares
giving birth to these and more opinions
There's another place that we can go
Beyond the farthest stretch of your imagination.

Einstein has a dream about what matter is
'Cause it matters to him.
Maybe he just made it up to see
If he could make it up and see it

Maybe he forgot that criminals can turn
what matters Into anti matter
People all too soon forget the safety
In the forest of their dreams.
