clones and drones

no smiles or chuckles for you today
as you're not decked out in the proper duds
how dare you call out our sneaky racket
just who do you think you ain't ?
if you're not in tune with the party line
you don't get into the party
and if you don't get into the party
you don't get any of the cake
and if you don't get any cake
your very existence is at stake
so get with the program, laddies and lassies
before it becomes too late
the game is all laid out to follow
just do what the others do
wear what the others wear
and most crucial of all, say what the other ones say
there ain't no room for weirdos and freaks
trust that it's better if you play it this way
the rewards are great and aplenty
you get to be clone and drone of the day
while your kids dream of riches and freedom
just like you did back in the day
never mind that they'll grow up to be
a snappy new army of clones and drones
designed and resigned to toe the party line
so their kids might dream of riches and freedom
ad nauseum,  ad infinitum
clones and drones, clones and drones
this is the way and the wave of the future
the carrot must always be dangling out there
but don't dare reach the end of the stick
