Obedience

This isn't the time
This isn't the place
This isn't the end
This isn't the season
Stick to the facts
Who made the rules?
How long ago?
No rhyme or reason
Your time is up

Time is money
You don't conform
You don't compute
Check one box
This isn't funny

Obedience...

I take exception to your rules
Is this life or is this school?
You say your hands are tied, invisible chains
Take a number have a seat
This screaming phrase repeats
Repeats and repeats in my ear
If it's money don't be late
Objections have to wait
It isn't your responsibility
Take a number, have a seat
This screaming phrase repeats
Repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats...

It's too much fun, it's much too plain
They rule it's much too much to handle
They close our eyes, decide what's right
The naked truth could cause a scandal
The more they hide
The more devised imaginations
Can't be shattered
It's for your soul, it's for your good
Your mental health's a fragile matter

Obedience...
