lyrics

Straitjacket society

all the rebels dead or gone
you try to tame the shrew
before they breed another one
we're just a part of the machine
always walk in line
we try to keep the motor clean

all I want is to be free
in this straitjacket society

put me in that uniform
in my cute straitjacket
I just perfectly fit the norm
make me sing the company song
the anthem of collectivism
hey everybody: sing along!

all I want is ...

oh sweet dictated harmony
the means to force it are
condoned by group society
watch out if you step out of line
it's not the easiest way but
we all should try from time to time

I gotta, I gotta, I gotta break free from this
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta break free from this
does anybody dare to join me now?

all I want is...
