Straight Lines

(one, two, three; two, two, three)
 There you go again
 Said, it's too complicated to explain
 So sit me in my high chair
 And pat me on the head
 But I'll be making lists
 Pounding the table with my fists
 Trying to apply every law I ever read
 See there's just no telling
 The parts that we've been selling
 This is just like you
 To fake some cute stage for me
 While you've been trying to make believe
 In the little monster you conceived
 I'm havin' a hard time believing
 In anything much at all
 You and your straight lines
 You and your straight lines
 Always
 Well, we all walk through those doors
 High hopes between the subclause
 We throw ourselves gladly into your little fishbowl
 It would take some persuasion
 About the strength of the equation
 Before it finally chalked up on just one more brick wall
 You and your straight lines
 You and your straight lines
 Always
 So here I am now
 Just another sacred cow
 Believe me your "what if's" will turn to "if only's" before long
 So tell me about ownership, boy
 Tell me about using lies as executive toys and
 Tell me, to who does this song belong
 You and your straight lines
 You and your straight lines
 Gonna sing along
 Gonna sing along
 I'm gonna sing along
 Yeah
 Oh, always
