Nice Place to Raise Children Lyrics

the sign on the lawn goes down
the human real estate moves in
picket fences erected over landfill
they'll ignore as they've been taught
and they'll always do as they're told
and they'll never make waves
the kids will go to school
and adults will go to work
and there they'll have the daily lesson reinforced
born in the middle
stay in the middle
die in the middle
free thought succumbs to autonomy
it's nothing new
