Bennys waiting for a new brain implant;
His old ones working fine
He dont care if its worth it
He just needs the new version
Bennys gotta make that money
So he can afford to update the life
That he dont spend living;
Too distracted searching for the new

Gingers got her nose stuck in a book
Hypnotized by symbols on a page
Imbued with meaning
Certainly means more than the life that she ignores
Replacing her thoughts with authored thoughts
Living half a life through pulp and ink;
Its imitation;
Shes been told its education but it aint life

Its living a fiction in fear of raw life
The distractions theyre mired in are lies
Facsimile dream but Ive got a scheme to wake up;
Oh, Ive got a scheme to kill the dream

Jumbo Ron is pacing back and forth
Hes worried that he may have made the wrong impression last night
On a date with a doggy from work
Hes obsessing over one small turn of phrase
Hes not sure if it conforms to current standards
Of political correctness as it changes day to day


Theyre living a fiction in fear of raw life
The distractions theyre mired in are lies
Facsimile dream but Ive got a scheme to wake up
Oh, Ive got a scheme to kill the dream
