What Not To Do

Your indirection blows away
there is no sign but that's OK
and you let them do the talking
a crooked picture but
at least they show you
how not to be
and what not to do
they lie, your mind is not allowed
and this is your education,
so listen up and look around.

a lot of funny things are said
and all the grazings fill your head
you try again
and so you let them do the talking
it's pretty rotten but at least your self-aware
and that's more than you can say
about anyone who's there
and it's better not to care
about how not to be
and what not to do
they lie, your mind is not allowed
and this is your education
so listen up and look around.

for some people, it's a grand affair
but do not forget where you belong
i know you're halfway there,
but do not forget where you belong.

and that's more than you can say
about anyone who's there
and it's better not to care
about how not to be
and what not to do
they lie, this time it's not allowed
and this is your education
so listen up and look around
