Bennyâs waiting for a new brain implant;
His old oneâs working fine.
He donât care if itâs worth it
he just needs the new version.
Bennyâs gotta make that money
so he can afford to update the life
that he donât spend living;
too distracted searching for the new.
Gingerâs got her nose stuck in a book,
hypnotized by symbols on a page
imbued with meaning.
Certainly means more than the life that she ignores.
Replacing her thoughts with authored thoughts,
living half a life through pulp and ink;
itâs imitation;
sheâs been told itâs education but it ainât life,
itâs living a fiction in fear of raw life.
The distractions theyâre mired in are lies.
Facsimile dream but Iâve got a scheme to wake up;
oh, Iâve got a scheme to kill the dream.
Jumbo Ron is pacing back and forth,
heâs worried that he may have made the wrong impression last night
on a date with a doggy from work.
Heâs obsessing over one small turn of phrase.
Heâs not sure if it conforms to current standards
of political correctness as it changes day to day.
Theyâre living a fiction in fear of raw life.
The distractions theyâre mired in are lies.
Facsimile dream but Iâve got a scheme to wake up,
oh, Iâve got a scheme to kill the dream.
