Lyrics

Throw the ball up Someone catch it One too many Manufacture it Come and listen to the platform Have you got your ticket? It's really not that expensive I missed the opportunity last year but now I'm gonna take it Throw off the uniform and remove the apron We're scared of death too but we don't form religions I'm just trying to think ahead like a leader's vision Escape from the television and the billboards I like to be self-assured but hey I'm only human I really hate all this intrusion These advertisers with their concentrated demographics Sometimes you get the feeling that you're plastic Predictable and tragic Giving the value of some fabric a boost That probably wasn't necessary, Lord knows it's pointless You looking at the clothes, you should've listened to the voices But nowadays a revolution can be found inside a Che Guevara shirt And only $29.95 I'm open eyes, open heart, open ears I'm hoping you can hear both the laughter and the tears Take my fears, take my pride, take my lies Have a drink, spark it up, come inside Throw the ball up Someone catch it One too many Manufacture it You can be plastic As long as you act it Gift wrapped, packed And manufactured Sometimes it's more difficult to confront your weaknesses Than a radio talkback host experiencing speechlessness While each of us have our own hassles and our own battles Which are the people that expect their neighbour to be a camel? I'm decked out in flannelette, more likely on my own Hoping that you will accept this unfashionable, mostly grown Kid that holds a vice-like grip on a microphone Let rip 'til vocal cords split then head home I was taught to accept everything, embrace all surroundings To live in fear of God and to keep firmly grounded I was taught to accept nothing, let no person stand in your path That's a competition and you don't want to come last Some think it's half-arsed unless you got something to show A little tangible bag exchangeable for dough I like the idea of rejecting what we can get Just to balance out our desire for what we can't have I'm doing it for the hell of acting outside of my norm Like putting away the umbrella as we walk into the storm Take my fears, take my pride, take my lies Have a drink, spark it up, come inside Throw the ball up Someone catch it One too many Manufacture it You can be plastic As long as you act it Gift wrapped, packed And manufactured Throw the ball up Someone catch it One too many Manufacture it You can be plastic As long as you act it Gift wrapped, packed And manufactured
