Be Like Them

[Verse 1]
It's nothing new
Hungry cats
Getting fatter minds and thinner ideas
Nothing new about that
Too little of this
Not enough of that
Nothing new about that

[Chorus]
Insomnia dogs me
In this tired year

[Verse 2]
It's history
Rabid dogs
Tearing skeletons
Into piles of bones
Nothing new about that
Too little of this
Not enough of that
Nothing new about that

[Chorus]
They play it all for you
They explain it all to you
Telling you to
Be like them, be like them

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
A state of irritation
With leisurely pace
They lay it down for you
They set it up for you
Demanding that you, too
Be like them, be like them
Be like them, be like them
Be like them

[Verse 3]
It’s a cracker joke
A cheap surprise
Painting in the corner
Repeat flagrant lies
A shortage of ice
Big increase of less
Standing far apart
World dying at your feet

[Chorus]
They play it all for you
They explain it all to you
Telling you to
Be like them, be like them
Demanding that you, too
Be like them, be like them
Be like them, be like them
Be like them
