Status quo

(with heavy metal accompaniment)


     Don't change anything, don't rock the boat!
     Don't change anything, don't rock the boat!
     It's delicate machinery – each gear and each bolt,
     And if you screw up something, we might have a revolt!!


     Do what we tell you, follow the herd!
     Herds are great for safety, haven't you heard?
     If you become a hero, you are an easy pick,
     A black sheep and a black swan – are equally unfit.


     Don't change anything, don't rock the boat!
     Don't change anything, don't rock the boat!
     It's delicate machinery – each gear and each bolt,
     And if you screw up something, we might have a revolt!!


     Worn-out TV remote will put your mind at ease,
     Look – there's Grandma Clinton, there's Merkel saying "Cheeez",
     The Congress and Obama are bickering again,
     See how familiar faces relax and soothe your brain?


     Don't change anything, don't rock the boat!
     Don't change anything, don't rock the boat!
     It's delicate machinery – each gear and each bolt,
     And if you screw up something, we might have a revolt!!

   
     Sometimes it helps to eat stuff – food plays 'n important role
     "Chinese" or chicken nuggets work wonders for the soul,
     Say, did you see that catalog that just came in the mail,
     A 'TRU OAK'-finish cabinet will blow your mind away!       
   

     Don't change anything, don't rock the boat!
     Don't change anything, don't rock the boat!
     It's delicate machinery – each gear and each bolt,
     And if you screw up something, we might have a revolt!!
   
   
     NSA!!! – Detain this man, we caught him browsing dangerous websites!
     SWAT!! – Kill this man, he is not complying with unlawful search!
     FBI!!! – Ambush and murder all those who resist!
     NYPD!! – Choke this man, he is black!
     CIA!!! – Overthrow this government, it hates our freedoms!


     Shut down imagination! Immediately! NOW!
     Th' insatiable  Leviathan is never coming down!
     EAT! VOTE! DIE!  But if you do not bend,
     Guantanamo is waiting – for you, my terrorist friend!


     Don't change anything, don't rock the boat!
     Don't change anything, don't rock the boat!
     It's delicate machinery – each gear and each bolt,
     And if you screw up something, we might have a revolt!!
