From the recording Shootout at the Straw Man Factory
Lyrics
It all looks great
From the Faculty Lounge
The Autocratic Method
In the Faculty Lounge
You can’t see for the roses
Through poison ivory
Is this shirt the right color
For the Faculty Lounge
Do you think this ribbon
Goes with brown
Dreaming up solutions
In the Faculty Lounge
For the absolution
Of the kids on the grounds
Kids afraid of their shadows
Double-parked in safe space zones
It’s the curriculum
In the Faculty Lounge
If you think for yourself
We’ll mark you down
We’ll take your brightest for a fee
Reprogram them ‘til they see
All the flaws in who they want to be
They’re our subjects in the lab
We’ll throw their freedom on the slab
Give them triggers they never knew they had
It all sounds great
In the Faculty Lounge
Pushing theories that put
Millions in the ground
We rule Kinder College
Here in Sombertown
Where snowflakes fall
All year round
Melting at the thought
Of a different sound
