Lyrics:

What makes us tick?
Alpha and Beta males aren’t new
But calling people Epsilon’s hasn’t fallen into use
Bernard would do or saying anything crass
For a moment with the Songster of Canterbury, to woo
Maybe I act a little ‘Savage’ too
But frozen are my Easter eggs, brand new
Huxley wrote the lines
That the terms ‘mother’ and ‘father’ would one day become taboo

His standing point regarding technology’s advance
Is that there’s always somewhere a cost: love, or lack
‘Feelie’ theaters sight, sound, & smell broadcast
Touching the sensor on your chair makes your lips tingle fast
Lenina with Soma, is simply, never through
The people all crave it like mad
Huxley knew how the future, would react
So he laughed (laugh)

He boiled our meltdowns down to wanting to look younger
He knew that some, in utopia, would crave art and culture
And when they can’t be drugged, silenced, bribed
Then to an isle, they’re sent, Goodbye
Cause if you’re not happy here
If you’re not happy here
Be wise & smile
Be wise & smile
Lenina with Soma, is simply, never through
The people all crave it like mad
So be wise & smile

To mold the mind,
So emotional
Dedicate years to sleep’s hypno-babble
Death conditioning,
Chocolate for children, so
They don’t question or look too close
All these decanters have got,
Lenina’s comically bad dates resound,
Government empathetic and maniacal
Choose between creature comforts
Or ‘real life’ televised so

He boiled our meltdowns down to wanting to look younger
He knew that some, in utopia, would still crave art and culture
And when they can’t be drugged, silenced, bribed
Then to an isle, they’re sent packing,
Goodbye
Cause if you’re not happy here
If you’re not happy here
Be wise & smile
Be wise & smile
Lenina with Soma, is simply, never through
The people all crave it like mad
So pretend & smile

Be wise & smi, smi, smile
Be wise & smi, smi, smile
Be wise & smi, smi, smile
Be wise & smi, smi, smile

Be wise & smi, smi, smile
Be wise & smi, smi, smile
Be wise & smi, smi, smile
Be wise & smile

He boils our meltdowns down to wanting to look younger
He knew someday, in utopia, we’d crave art and culture
And when you can’t be drugged, silenced, bribed
Then to an isle, sent packing, Goodbye
Cause if you’re not happy here
If you’re not happy here
Be wise & smile
Be wise & smile
Lenina with Soma, is simply, never through
The people all crave it like mad
So be wise & smile
Cause, for now, you’ve got that

End
