Which is better?
Societal delusion or chemical illusion
False surety or realistic confusion
Wishing for conformity you may not possess
Or forever seeking another experience experiment

verse I:
Sixty-some years ago, in the paper was an ad-ress
"Wanted: normal hetero sapiens for scientific progress
We'll give you a test to make sure you are normal
The drug in your water will be pure and formal
And we'll see what you shall see
We'll see what you shall be"
chorus

verse 2:
You showed up to the lab, took the mental health test
They asked if you were normal, said you thought you were the best
At conformity

'Cause all you need
Is to stay at home and watch the trees
Bear fruit, and shield them from the sunshine
Tell everyone you're just fine
It was the '50s after all
And no one hears trees fall
In the forest of your mind
In the forest of your mind, you're not fine, you're not fine!

chorus



verse 3:
You sat at the table and talked to the scientist
The glass on the table contained your future consciousness
Could have even been a placebo
That wasn't part of the test, though
He said the scientific name
No one uses that name now
Except scientists, and people who are pissed
About howe much it's spread around
And you drank it down
The dosage was high
Like lights in the sky
You took it and you waited and you thought
You saw
which was better:
Chorus
verse 4:
Hours passed, you felt that you were free
So you pointed into nothingness, said "look there, don't you see?"
What he couldn't see, it's a field of plastic trees,
"right there, in the air, it's reality! it's everything I think is true, and if you don't see it I pity you."
That's what you said, 'cause you saw it in your head, now your husband wants to tell you that you should be home in bed, are you seeing red?
chorus
bridge:
Whatever happened, you're probably fine
Illumination takes more than sunshine
Everybody's got a little spiral in their mind
And a casualty is unspiraling mine
Everything you think is wrong
is wrong to you
Everything you feel is wrong
just may be true, in your distorted blue, the sky is blue, the sun's in the sky so what happened to you?
What did you think was true
and more importantly, what did you do?
verse 5: Where are you now, what did you do after
Had a happy life or a lysergic disaster
Or both
Is that possible
Without going to the hospital
Or back to your hometown
With loving family around
Oh, oh, oh, where are you now? (oh, oh, where are you?)
Did you plant perfect tree thoughts of your own
Or fall back on plastic and putting down the phone
Everyone knows it's unsafe to travel alone!
