If you behave yourself
Inside imperfect circles
Around the carousel
Until you're overburdened
Keep from revealing these
Holes upon our monument
Surrendering yourself
Captive of the collective
Endemic forces will gaze
As we gently
Carve our shepherds from sheep
Lead us incorrectly
Here is the formula
To help you
Ease your conscience
If you behave yourself
Suffer the slings and arrows
The cameras never tell
Only the dog will know
The mound of flesh you call
Your boy is setting fires
Around the carousel
Only the dog will know
Endemic forces will gaze
As we gently
Carve our shepherds from sheep
Lead us incorrectly
Here is the formula
To help you
Ease your conscience
