"Stupid Schemes" lyrics

"Stupid Schemes"

Old songs, and way homes
And yearning
Wonder and wander
Oh, I should be turning
Oh, should I be turning?

And now I'm not afraid to say
That it's easier now in every way
Oh, I guess I'm learning
Oh, returning

Be careful of their stupid schemes
Be careful of their liberties
You can guarantee they'll cross the I's and dot the T's
Never let them fill your mind
Oh, be wary of their epaulettes
Be wary of their silhouettes
Oh, heavy chips upon their shoulders sit
And they pretend their responsibilities

Oh, and remember to breathe
Old songs, just wave forms
Gathering hard drive dust
And now I'm not afraid to say
That it's getting easier now every day

Oh, I guess I'm learning
Oh, and returning

Be careful of their stupid schemes
Be careful of their liberties
I can guarantee they'll cross their I's and dot their T's
So never let them steal your mind, oh
Be wary of their epaulettes
Be wary of their silhouettes
And all of the books you recommend you read
They ain't never going to fill your mind
