lyrics

A disorder
Is in my bones
I keep on moving
They up the dose

What's the solution
To my delusions
The doctor says here
Here's restitution

If you take this, you will be just like everyone else
Unanimous, anonymous, a walking shell
They'll be no pain, they'll be no joy, at least you'll fit in well
So take a seat right over here, right next to everybody else

In a world of dissolution, it's easier to be like the rest
Here's the resolution, dillution till your numb in the head

An affliction
Is in my brain
I keep on thinking
They say insane

What's the prognosis
Of my neurosis
The doctor says stat
He needs hypnosis

Look at what I'm holding, don't you look away
The shining, golden pendulum that is your fate
They'll be no life, they'll be no death, there's only this watch and chain
Just keep on staring till you can't even remember your name

In a world of symbiosis, it's easier to be like the rest
Here's the diagnosis, psychosis, medicate and forget

In a world of peace and reason, it's easier to be as we are
Idle, tame, respectable, numb

Prescribe me a reality, where I can think
I'm dancing like a puppet being held by strings
The only real illusion is that I am free
To be exactly who I am and what I want to be

The Monday Specials Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Classic Rock Magazine-

"A two-man wrecking crew from Milwaukee. It’s sorta like the blues, if the blues were made of hellfire and whiskey. And, let’s be honest, the best stuff always is. Wondering about the name? They met on a Monday. Which, it would appear, turned out to be a pretty special one." ... more
