The Free Association
The Free Association
Has everyday reality got you down?
Are you growing tired of that fast food clown,
His plastic buddies that took over your town?
Don't worry fella, you've got friends
Here where the candles burn at both their ends;
Come with us, and I think you'll agree
There's much to be said for living free.
When you find us at first it may seem odd
Since so many here believe they're God
Yet who can say, you silly Sod?
Reflect, it's really no more strange
Than pulling the night shift on a missile range.
Go on a date with our Secretary,
She's fun to look at when things get scary.
Join the Free Association
The creators of a brand new nation;
We've got no laws, so you needn't worry
- The sedatives are in, so what's your hurry?
No bosses are breathing down our backs,
No politicians, no income tax.
Just lock the doors, in case we attack.
This can really evolve into quite the life,
Every man's your friend, every woman your wife
It's even not so bad when you fade to black
In the quiet room, with the shirt that ties in back.
This kingdom's key is its imagination
Closely linked with the fascination
Of consuming fruits of mental masturbation.
It's not too hard to get inside
And once you're here it's a good place to hide
From all those crazies running loose out there.
This is how they keep us out of their hair.
So join the Free Association!
We're from your favorite constellation!
We'll blow away your urban blues,
Since when there's nothing left,
There's nothing left to lose.
Come and join us and be Free, Free, Free!
And while you're at it, have a spot of tea.
