Compartmentalize reality
Just see what you want to see
This is not a fantasy
Compartmentalize reality
Compartmentalized reality
Just as far as you can see
A loss of continuity
Compartmentalize reality
No one knows what the future holds
This is how we're taught and sold
With advertising endlessly
That passes for morality
Home and family and t.v.
Insurance company subsidies
Got work and bills and money
And money money money money money
Gotta make it today
'Cause it's not goin' away
Enlisted in the new machine
Pacified by every screen
Consume those empty calories
Compartmentalize reality
Computer keys vocabulary
Secondary tertiary
Agony and ecstasy
Of technical abilities
You gotta make it today
'Cause it's not goin' away
Poor nutrition lack of sleep
Self-hypnosis counting sheep
Alcohol and nicotine
Adderal and caffeine
Fractured personalities
Subscription sexuality
A loss of continuity
And money money money money money
Gotta make it today
'Cause it's not goin' away
Compartmentalize reality
Just see what you want to see
This is not a fantasy
Compartmentalize reality
You gotta make it today
'Cause it's not goin' away
Oh but you still got time
So you can change your mind
Compartmentalize reality
Just see what you want to see
A loss of continuity
Compartmentalized reality

Here it comes
Let it come on down
Just take your guns
And put 'em in the ground
Your time has come
To satisfy your soul
Here on the pyre
Of rock and roll
Do what you want
Within precise parameters
Attack time slow
On all the limiters
And when you're there
You won't know where you've been
So tell your friends
You won't be coming back again
It doesn't matter anymore
'Cause there's nobody keeping score
And I can be me
From 12 to 3
Yeah here it comes
Let it come on down
Just take your guns
And put 'em in the ground
Your time has come
To satisfy your very soul
Here on the pyre of rock and roll
