More of the Same

And that's what I'm here today To talk to all of you about I'm relieved to be able to say Love has been cultured out And dreams -- by definition unrealistic -- We like to catch these things before they begin While there are still some hopelessly idealistic We're fond of pointing out they never win Though they cost society a lot With their various derangements With their belief in what is not Trying to force arrangements To accommodate this rot On society as a whole Luckily they are so few It's a completely futile goal There's nothing they can do Against the majority And it certainly seems They don't realize our priority Is not love or ideals or dreams But to get what we want While playing the game And that the prize in this hunt Is more of the same It has nothing to do with heart Eliminate feeling and avoid pain Eliminate all that from the start That's what's sane No one can touch us then And catching these things before they begin Gives us an edge on what we want when What we want -- WHAT WE WANT -- is to WIN !
