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)
 Oh, 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?

 The centerline is status quo
 Gonna stay within the
 Mainstream
 If you stay within the tried and true
 Mainstream
 You'll remain among the chosen few

 No one's buying your experiment
 It's so predictable and everybody judges
 By the numbers that you're selling

 Now, corporate mold, packaged and sold
 16 to 30
 Jobbers and racks, they're moving in stacks
 Tactics are dirty
 We're in business, what else is it for?
 Profit motive, welcome to the war
