Overkill, have you had your fill
Come to expect it
Off the wall, too short or too tall
System rejects it
Lost the handle, what's it all been for?
Tired of trying, seeing so much more

It's so predictable and everybody judges by the numbers that you're selling
Just crank 'em out on the assembly line and chart 'em higher (higher, higher)
Just keep it simple boys it's gonna be alright as long as you're inside the
Mainstream, are we moving too far away (mainstream)
Is it worth it if it doesn't pay (mainstream)
The centerline is status quo, it's
Mainstream
If you stay within the tried and true (mainstream)
You'll remain among the chosen few (mainstream)
Survive another year

The market is dead, accounts in the red
Media saturation
We're deep in a rut, the arteries cut
Sensory deprivation
Really loved it, didn't earn a cent
No one's buying your experiment

It's so predictable and everybody judges by the numbers that you're selling
Just crank 'em out on the assembly line and chart 'em higher (higher, higher)
Just keep it simple boys it's gonna be alright as long as you're inside the
Mainstream, are we moving too far away (mainstream)
Is it worth it if it doesn't pay (mainstream)
The centerline is status quo, it's
Mainstream
For the masses in Consumerland (mainstream)
Give 'em everything that they demand (mainstream)
Survive another year
Corporate mold, packaged and sold, 16 to 30
Jobbers and racks, they're movin' in stacks
Tactics are dirty
We're in business, what else is it for?
Profit motive, welcome to the war

It's so predictable and everybody judges by the numbers that you're selling
Just crank 'em out on the assembly line and chart 'em higher (higher, higher)
Just keep it simple boys it's gonna be alright as long as you're inside the
Mainstream, are we moving too far away (mainstream)
Is it worth it if it doesn't pay (mainstream)
The centerline is status quo, gotta stay inside the
Mainstream
Just be careful not to rearrange (mainstream)
And don't let 'em catch you getting strange (mainstream)
Survive another year
