Vegetable Tell me what to do, tell me what to say Tell me what to think or if I may And I'll obey, for I'm the perfect citizen I'm a nonprotesting, status-quoting True to the mold conformist I'm a vegetable, pure vegetable I love conformity Happy vegetable, loyal vegetable Pride of the powers that be Tell me what to do, tell me what to read Tell me when to breathe and I will heed For my creed amounts to simply this, you see If it's fun, it's a sin; if it's free, it's a crime If it's true, it's seditious; and that's why Test me as you please, I shall never quail Tell me I'm a dog and I'll wag my tail For to fail would be most indefensible For original thought must be thoroughly banned So as not to disturb my head in the sand It's slumbering, cucumbering, vegetable as it can be Umbilical, imbecilicle, garden of serenity Tell me what is right, tell me what is wrong Tell me what to join and I'll belong For my song should prove to you conclusively How happy you'll be when you're mind has gone numb You'll wake up one morning and find you've become A vegetable, pure vegetable, you'll love conformity (like me) A happy vegetable, loyal vegetable, pride of the powers that be SOF
