RunLikeAVillain late seventies but still I agree. They we're one of a handful of groups experimenting with sound at the time and one of the only ones to ever gain any sort of popularity with big time musicians like Brian Eno and David Bowie.
You obey society's rules You will be society's fools You obey and then disobey You disobey but then you'll obey You thought your mom and dad were fools You never wanted to listen in school Now your mind won't go where you want to take it You got a ride but you're not gonna make it You'll never catch up Dad, pass the catsup Clean that mess up, 'fess up, listen up If you obey society's fools You'll be society's tools And you'll obey and then disobey You'll disobey but then you'll obey You thought your mom and dad were queer You always wanted egg in your beer Now your dog won't go when you try to make it He's got a bone but he's not gonna shake it If you take society's tools You will make society's rules Which you'll obey and then disobey You'll disobey but then you'll obey You thought your mom and dad were fools You never wanted to listen in school Now your mind won't go where you want to take it You got a ride but you're not gonna make it You'll never catch up Dad, pass the catsup That's all for now That's all we know This is the end
