Social Fools
One, two, one, two
If you obey society's rules
You will be society's fools
Then you'll obey and then disobey
You'll disobey but then you'll obey
You thought your Mom and Dad were fools
You never wanted to listen in school
Now your mind won't go where you want to take it
You got a ride but you're not gonna make it
You'll never catch up
Dad, pass the catsup
Hey!
Clean that mess up, 'fess up, listen up
One, two
If you obey society's fools
You will be society's tools
And you'll obey and then disobey
You'll disobey but then you'll obey
You thought your Mom and Dad were queer
You always wanted egg in your beer
Now your dog won't go when you try to make it
He's got a bone but he's not gonna shake it
Wait
If you take society's tools
You will make society's rules
Which you'll obey and then disobey
You'll disobey but then you'll obey
You thought your Mom and Dad were fools
You never wanted to listen in school
Now your mind won't go where you want to take it
You got a ride but you're not gonna make it
You'll never catch up
Dad, pass the catsup!
That's all for now
That's all we know
This is the end
