Letra de Convoluted absolutes

I feel numb
And I think we´re half asleep
Our collective sense of outrage
Has gone the way of dodo birds and Model T´s
We´re being trained
We tell them what they want just to appease
It´s the end of absolutes
Welcome to the death of meaning
Mice will run a maze for cheese
Koko sings her A - B - C´s we think she´s talking to her kitten in the corner
Pavlov´s dogs would drool if they could hear their chiming cue
Just like them we´ve been conditioned

We´re going dumb
Have we forgotten how to speak
Would mute cries fall on deafened ears
If we could get ourselves to give voice to our pleas
We´re so well trained
That´s the way it is and so we´ll let it be
If there are no absolutes
Our objections have no meaning
Birds will learn to talk for treats
Flipper laughed and danced to please and avoid electrocution
Pavlov´s dogs would drool if they could hear their chiming cue
Just like them we´ve been conditioned

Feeling numb
Half asleep
Being trained
We´re just like sheep

Going dumb
We never speak
So well trained
The truth we never seek
