lyrics

Kesey and Keruoac
Set my mind on a different track
William Burroughs Bukowski too
They taught me a thing or two

I could never toe the line
Act like everything is fine
I got a problem with authority
The way they say its supposed to be

I can't think straight and I'm always late
When everyone's on board the wagon
I'm the one who's back there draggin'
I can't think straight

They tried to keep me on a narrow path
But I looked around I did the math
And I just couldn't buy that jive
Cause aint nobody gets out alive

You wanna know what I believe
If you're curious what's wrong with me
It's Dylan, Lennon, and Rimbaud
It's what Hamlet said to Horatio

I can't think straight and I can't relate
To you and all of your pat answers
I guess I'll just take my chances
I can't think straight

I get high, I lay low
Under the radar of the status quo
I tuned in, I dropped out
Don't try to tell me what it's all about
