Song Lyrics

This isn't the time
This isn't the place
This isn't the end
This isn't the season

Stick to the facts
Who made the rules?
How long ago
No rhyme or reason

Your time is up
Please join this line
Complete this form
Time is money

You don't conform
You don't compute
Check one box
This isn't funny

Obedience

I take exception to your rules
Is this life or is this school?
You say your hands are tied, invisible chains
Take a number have a seat

This screaming phrase repeats
Repeats and repeats in my ear
If it's money don't be late

Objections have to wait
It isn't your responsibility
Take a number have a seat
This screaming phrase repeats
Repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats

It's too much fun it's much too plain
They rule it's much too much to handle
They close our eyes decide what's right
The naked truth could cause a scandal

The more they hide
The more devised imaginations
Can't be shattered
It's for your soul it's for your good
Your mental health's a fragile matter

Obedience

Martha Johnson
