A picture perfect lifestyle
A picture perfect wife
Family, house, kids, and sleeping dog.
We drive the right car
We listen to the right music
We vote the way our preacher
Says God thinks we should vote.
We buy the right foods
We wear the right clothes
We watch the right TV
Never skipping the advertisements.
We raise the right kids
All perfect in school
Never fighting
Never rebelling
Never thinking.
We read the right magazines
We watch the right movies
We play the right games
We hear the right Ads.
All of the perfect components
All nice and clean edges
Of our cookie cutter existence.
Why try for anything different?
Why open my mind?
Life's been just fine right here,
We pay the right taxes.
We support the right government
Surely they know best.
Why should we change?
There's nothing more to life
Than this baking sheet
We read the right Bible
We go to the right church
We vote for the right candidate.
We embrace change!
Bring on the cures for cancer!
Bring on the faster computers!
Bring on the cheaper electronics!
We buy from the right people
Surely they treat their workers
The same way I am treated
We've paid the right taxes
We've voted in the right man
We've defended the right people
...Haven't we?
