Comfort Zone

Morphine, aspirin, fentanyl, paracetamol 325mg red, 325mg rose Cheers and bon appétit, activated charcoal 250 mg Oh shut it I know what it means, how it feels to be atypical A typical dilemma You know, after all, you and I are rather similar I'm just better I know what it means, how it feels to be exceptional It's not about conceit I've got it written in the receipts, and you pathetic lot Makes me feel sick Oh it's noble to serve as means to mean an end Means to meet an end So sentiment aside Why won't you take pride in being an important asset For our experiment Run the traditional three, two, one The siren sounds as you play your defective drum I wonder if my amygdala's going numb A life of fun giving purpose to scum (Fun!) We do what must be done! Focus and then channel and then discard Now, sympathy has no place in a righteous heart The only use for a motor not meant to start Is to become an expendable part (That's right!) To fill the testing chart I know how it goes, how it works, the formula's the same The check up's done, now bottoms up Done, all you got, all you need to dull the muscle pain And that migraine I've found that there's no reason to doubt the principle at play And when you lay the ground for progress Sacrifices are something that you have to make First give, then take Morphine, aspirin, fentanyl, "oh, it's a disgrace!" "I'm amazed at the board's lack of scientific taste" "They just don't understand you're too precious to waste" "Shame how we have to part ways" So she says I see you're playing me for a fool To be replaced by a less inconvenient tool I've an objection, not one you can overrule Since men like me have the right to be cruel I cannot play it cool When you look at me from above Being good equals being not good enough Just as disposable as any other part That's all I am, all I've been from the start To your pathetic lot
