lyrics

WHY ACT AT ALL? NOTHING’S NATURAL
CAN’T BE CASUAL AROUND THESE CATCH-ALL
JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND DRUG PRESCRIPTIONS [1]
THEY SAY MEETING, THEY MEAN PLEADING

JUST FOR STAPLERS TO FILE PAPERS
NEEDING SOMETHING (MEANS) BLEEDING SOMEONE
ACT LIKE SOMEONE NOT A VICTIM
BUT ACTING NEUTRAL’S NOT THAT USEFUL

ACTING NATURAL DOESN’T WORK

BE A HUMAN BEING FEELING
I HAVE NONE LEFT, LEFT HAS GONE RIGHT
LEANING TOWARD INTO BACKWARDS
MAKES ME SICK AND I FEEL SICKENED

I NEED MEANING NOT MISLEADING
NEVER KNOWING (WHICH WAY) UP I’M THROWING [2]
WHERE I’M GOING ISN’T SLOWING
BUT BEING DOUBTFUL ISN’T HELPFUL

ACTING NATURAL DOESN’T WORK

-----

[1] what the hell is a 'catch-all job description'?

[2] you know what? i don't even care
