The Logical Song lyrics

It is about the strain society puts upon us to fit seamlessly into the machinery. It is about the destruction of individuality, of free thought.
It is about conformity.
It is about people being brainwashed into thinking succes equals a big house and a fancy car. It is about the pressure to erase our personal dreams for the replacement dreams society brainwashes into our brains, in school, but also in advertisements, newspapers, or even Cosmopolitan and Playboy, where we can read who we should be, what we should wear, how to be 'cool', and what our opinions should be.
It is about a society that needs people to be cattle, vegetables, because it is easier to exploit those who ave been conditioned not to question things any more, out of fear what others might think of them.
It is about most gouvernments wish their people to be - easy to manipulate, not questioning the propaganda - mindless producers/consumers that keep the machinery going.
It is essentially about society trying to erase personality and free independend thought in childhood.
Because society usually thinks that those who ask critical quations, those who dare to be different, are a nuisance, or even dangerous.
With something like McCarthy-ism as an extreme example of what this can leas to.
