The Free Association
Has everyday reality got you down?
Have you grown tired of that fast food clown
And his plastic buddies that took over your town?
Don't worry fella, you've got friends
Here where the candles all burn at both their ends;
Come live with us, and I think you'll agree
There's much to be said for living free.
When you first find us it may seem odd
So many here believe they are God
Yet who can say, you silly Sod?
On reflection it's no more strange
Than pulling the night shift on a missile range.
Come make a date with our Secretary,
She's fun to look at when it all gets scary.
Join the Free Association
The proud 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?
We've got no bosses breathing down our backs,
No politicians, no income tax.
They just lock the doors, in case we attack.
This can really evolve to be 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 the 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 where we keep them out of our 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,
Nothing's left to lose.
Please say you'll join us and be Free, Free, Free!
And while you're at it, have a spot of tea.
