Mainstream

Overkill, have you had your fill?

Come to expect it

Off the wall, too short or too tall

System rejects it

Lost the handle, what's it all been for?

Tired of trying, seeing so much more

It's so predictable and everybody judges

By the numbers that you're selling

Just crank 'em out on the assembly line

And chart 'em higher (higher, higher)

Oh, just keep it simple, boys, it's gonna be alright

As long as you're inside the

Mainstream

Are we moving too far away?

Mainstream

Is it worth it if it doesn't pay?

Mainstream

The centerline is status quo

Gonna stay within the

Mainstream

If you stay within the tried and true

Mainstream

You'll remain among the chosen few

Mainstream

Survive another year

The market is dead, accounts in the red

Media saturation

We're deep in a rut, the artery's cut

Sensory deprivation

Really loved it, didn't earn a cent

No one's buying your experiment

It's so predictable and everybody judges

By the numbers that you're selling

Just crank 'em out on the assembly line

And chart 'em higher (higher, higher)

Oh, just keep it simple, boys, it's gonna be alright

As long as you're inside the (inside the)

Mainstream

Are we moving too far away?

Mainstream

Is it worth it if it doesn't pay?

Mainstream

The centerline is status quo

Gonna stay inside the

Mainstream

For the masses in consumer land

Mainstream

Give 'em everything that they demand

Mainstream

Survive another year

Now, corporate mold, packaged and sold

16 to 30

Jobbers and racks, they're moving in stacks

Tactics are dirty

We're in business, what else is it for?
