The Vindictives
Assembly Line
My baby thought that I'd be the perfect spouse
We left for work from our white suburban house
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
And then she chewed up fifty tablets of Valium
(Yummy yummy in the tummy)

The food chain and I have a tedious relationship
Enslaving me, so now I'm dying to exist
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
But then at dawn you gotta do it all over again
(Again and again and again and again)

I'm a maladaptive function of the wealth of nations
I won't be a factory handyman working on a lifetime plan
I'm in the non-productive division of the profit motive
I'm a deadbeat, a loser, a parasitic user
(And I'm a moocher, a cop out, a wimpy, gutted limp-dick)

A fateful shadow seems to follow us as human beings
Did we descend from apes or evolve from a big machine?
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Does mechanized behavior provide us with what we really need? (What we really need as human beings)

What are we doing with a Statue of Liberty?
Is there anybody out there who can still think critically?
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
You're just all suckers, but now you wanna suck up my soul
(I sold my soul)
I'm a maladaptive function of the wealth of nations
I won't be a factory handyman working on a lifetime plan
I'm in the non-productive division of the profit motive
I'm a deadbeat, a loser, a parasitic user
(And I'm a moocher, a cop out, a wimpy, gutted limp-dick)

You don't think for a second that I'm not the only one
(I'm not the only one, I'm not the only one)
Repetitive monotony that you accept has turned you numb
(And it's turned you numb, and it has turned you numb)
Your vulgar antidotes won't lure me towards an assembly line life
(Towards an assembly line of life)
It's my intention to defend my violation
(Violation)

Oh-oh ho ho ho ho

I'm a maladaptive function of the wealth of nations
I won't be a factory handyman working on a lifetime plan
I'm in the non-productive division of the profit motive
I'm a deadbeat, a loser, a parasitic user
(And I'm a moocher, a cop out, a wimpy, gutted limp-dick)

I'm a piece of shit
(You're a lazy prick)
I'm a piece of shit
(And you're a stupid dickless, spineless, useless, lazy scumbag)
I'm just a shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty
Shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty scumbag
I'm a piece of shit
(You're a lazy prick)
I'm a piece of shit
(You're a stupid dickless, spineless, useless, lazy scumbag)
I'm just a shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty
Shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty scumbag
