Little girl's eyes open wide, two ways to go but you can't decide
Follows all rules, has no say
Ends up in somebody else's play
Close your eyes cuz you just don't need them anyway
Lose as directed don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Little boy sittin in his master's arms
Safe and protected from any harm
Wants to be a man, wants to branch out
But hes told not to ask questions or doubt
Close your mind, its a book of instructions now
Lose as directed, don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Lose as directed, lets go
Monkey see, monkey do
Just another animal in the zoo
Got four wall security
Never even have to read a recipe
But its not exactly what you would call free
Lose as directed, don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Lose as directed, lose as directed,
Lose as directed, lose as directed, lose as directed, you lose!
