Everything Automatic

I feel repressed here, suppressed
 Like I'm being pushed down and forced to forget
 Every hopeful thing that I represent
 And everybody's been trying to convince me
 That it's okay, just deal with the BS
 But I'm sick of each day blurring into the next
 
 Until everything is automatic again
 ♪
 I feel like a child in need of constant attention
 In order to get up and be able to function
 Like there's a key in the back of my mind
 And if it's not turned right, it'll start to unwind
 Well, California clouds my judgment, I can't seem to behave
 The air is not right here and now my head is beginning to ache
 Until everything is automatic again
 And the inspiration I felt before has all but come and gone

 I don't understand why you would come so far only to stop
 Does it really make you happy, being a robot working for more robots?
 Got a boss who's telling me I'm two minutes late
 Gotta make up for it, I could start by dedicating
 My life to my job to get a higher GS score
 Some customer comments to raise the stats of the store
 They don't mean nothing but at least it looks good on my review
 In the wars of the past, we'd have rationed our food
 Well, keep on consuming because now we don't have to
 Thank God for yellow ribbons, those meaningless tokens that make us feel worthy
 And thank God for George for keeping matters abroad
 For rising gas costs being the only sacrifice I have to see
 We have it easy
