Social Fools Lyrics

If you obey society's rules
You will be society's fools
You'll obey and then disobey
You'll disobey but then you'll obey
You thought your mom and dad were fools
You never wanted to listen in school
Now your mind won't go where you want to take it
You got a ride but you're not gonna make it
You'll never catch up!
Dad, pass the catsup!
Clean that mess up! Fess up! Listen up!
If you obey society's fools
You'll be society's tools
And you'll obey and then disobey
You'll disobey but then you'll obey
You thought your mom and dad were queer
You always wanted egg in your beer
Now your dog won't go
When you try to make it
He's got a bone but he's not gonna shake it
If you take society's tools
You will make society's rules
Which you'll obey and then disobey
You'll disobey but then you'll obey
That's all for now
That's all we know
This is the end

Pretty obvious, reminds me of some dumbasses I went to high school with.

I agree that it sound like the dumb asses that people have to deal with, especially in High School who say things like "I hate my parents" or "Why do I have to learn any of this?" They say "Now your dog won't go, when you try to make it" - It's kinda saying "See? this is how you were. See how frustrating it is to deal with people who won't listen?"
