lyrics

The man here at the restaurant, he messed up my lunch order
But I forgave him sayin’, it’s alright man, at least you’re no pushover
It’s common to see a man like me behind the counter sober
But inevitably creativity beats the mind of a soldier

Life’s just one big mess up and what’s common’s a disorder
When you write a song ‘bout coming out, your people will disown ya
But your people are my people dressed as people who deplore ya
There ain’t no room for labels, and the war of hate is over!

One from the sun to the son when he’s older
Two from the Father to the daughter 'cause she’s bolder
Three you’ll see achieve equality, yeah I told ya, 'cause
Conformity can’t hold the mother’s wife any longer

Traditionally I couldn’t see you but I’ve become a stoner
The wheels of life keep turning, they’re the real transformer
But read the deal, the movie reel won’t play any slower
This song’s one big absurdity, but it’s almost over

What’s the point of work if all you are is a worker
I can’t comprehend how this doesn’t make me poorer
If change is a constant then why am I a conformer?
As people we’ll still progress so change the order for a start
