There Should be a Test

Go ahead and ask me how, everything is simple now
It's not about a certain skill, it's all so plain and boring
Look around and ask me why, I put my head up to the sky
There really ought to be a test, it's all so plain

Talent is over
Trying is all gone

I tell you things are different now
Ask me why, I'll tell you how
We've been bombarded, the truth is discarded
Run, while you can, try to save your own mind
It's all around you, the poison has found you
Run, run away, with your brain intact

One day, when I was a boy
Things didn't land right in your own lap
One day, when I had a joy
Things didn't land right in your own lap

Remember things I said to you
Look around, they're coming true
Human skin with robot eye, it's all so plain

Talent is over
Trying is all gone

I tell you things are different now
Ask me why, I'll tell you how
You've been outsmarted, the truth is discarded
Run, while you can, try to save your own mind
It's all around you, the poison has found you
Run, run away, with your brain intact

One day, when I was a boy
Things didn't land right in your own lap
One day, when I had a joy
Things didn't land right in your own lap

One day, I had a thought
Of spreading myself out too thin
I was confused, what did I know?
Laid on my back and came up with plans
To rebuild the craft, sail on once more
Putting my neck on the line
What do I care? Nothing to prove
But I will be damned if you'll piss in my spot

Go ahead and ask me how, everything is simple now
It's not about a certain skill, it's all so plain

Talent, trying
Talent is over

There really ought to be a test, it's all so plain

Talent is over
Trying is all gone

I tell you things are different now
Ask me why, I'll tell you how
We've been bombarded, the truth is discarded
Run, run away, with your brain intact

One day
