Out loud

Sometimes my thoughts go astray and I lose my place
I drift inside outer space and drink up the milky way
You can see a trace of it in my face as I kickback
And relax in a galaxy far far away

But my doctor said, “Mark, you know you’re fucking crazy
I mean you’re awfully lazy and your purpose on this planets all hazy
If you just kept that receipt you can take brain you bought back
get that train of thought back by eating some over prescribed Prozac”

Doctor, I confess I live in sanity and I’ll be there if you need me
So you should know before greedy HMO tries to bleed me
That your Freudian slip is showing and I know you’ve blown your own treaty

Just give all pills and keep that riot quiet
Keep them safe and warm inside the norm
Fuck that. I’ll allow the crowd to think that I’m to proud

Excuse me I was just thinking out loud
I think therefore I am a philosopher said one time
Drawing a line between body and mind

But before he asked the damn question everybody was fine
What a crime how fast the dumb ass masses go blind just to pass the time
I think loud therefore I am loud to get the thought out

But back in class my sorry ass got bought out
Conformed to the norm of silence within my shell
Educating it’s more like salivating to a Pavlovian bell!
Color within the lines, Mark, or you’re not going to pass the course

And what the hell’s that supposed to be
That doesn’t even look like a horse that’s it you get a D minus
Another example of the school boards finest
With so many people around it makes it hard to get it out
It sound like when you found it that you drowned it in your doubt

Fuck it, I allow the crowd to think that I’m to proud
'Cause I’m thinking out loud
