lyrics

MECHANIC/MECHANICAL

There's no need to hesitate fearing what you say will sound off key.
Far too often you're concentrating so hard you cannot think
You won't be around tomorrow so take off while you can.
And if you like manipulation it's there inside, inside your hand.

Forget all the other ones.
They're the reason that you're here.
You'll get what you want in time but
The quick way is not clear.
And it just might take you half your life...
But then eventually you'll get to be
Mechanic mechanical.

Is it smart to be so smart or is smartness really dull?
I don't want to know so much because it's not exceptional.
I.Q. is an overrated indicated of wits.
I prefer to think of intelligence as a bulletin board,
Board of clips.

Forget all the other ones.
They're the reason that you're here.
You'll get what you want in time but
The quick way is not clear.
And it just might take you half your life...
But then eventually you'll get to be
Mechanic mechanical.

You wish you could be just like all the actors that you see.
Well, they would like to trade places with you
Cuz their lives aren't what they seem.
If you feel that your own scenario doesn't suit you well
You'd better stop looking for answers
Cuz there are none there.
There are none there.

Forget all the other ones.
They're the reason that you're here.
You'll get what you want in time but
The quick way is not clear.
And it just might take you half your life...
But then eventually you'll get to be
Mechanic mechanical.
