lyrics

do not make waves

just go about your daily chores

and keep your eyes down on the floor

you don’t really want to rock the boat

you’ve got it pretty good, don’t ask for more

things are relatively great

and good things come to those who wait

you’re represented in our democracy

you don’t really need to participate



do not make eye contact

with that strange woman on the street

yelling with that cardboard sign

write her off as just crazy

and congratulate yourself on being much

more dignified than she



some people crack

but you are much more well-behaved

you’ve got your brain much better trained

to focus on the trivial distractions

and remain docile, complacent, and obey

defer to what your masters say

when common sense starts flaring up

you suppress it right away



you limit conversation to

tv, sex, weather, and sports

democrat vs. republican

the system may have a couple warts

but it’s still the best government that we’ve got

do not make any waves.
