lyrics

we'll make up a story and we'll be in it
we'll play at being and thus become
we'll say we're titles and wave them around
we'll wear costumes and makeup
and make strange sounds

you'll diagnose her weakness, play doctor
she'll needle your neuroses and play mom
we'll show and tell and then we'll kiss and tell
we'll play school then work for playskool® and mattel®

we will learn to fill decades with this
then our long dead mothers will call us home
if this is fun, why's it so endless?
if we're so happy, why do we feel alone?

we will play house with appliances
and we will play board games with bank accounts
you be the banker collecting pay stubs
i'll read the funny pages, tell you your ideals

they drew the lines, gave us the marker
color by number, life by formula
stay in the lines, away from the edges
don't imagine, just take dictation
