Excursions Into 'oh, a-oh'

Running after recognition
Instant gratification
Silky cradle of illusion
Immediate satisfaction
(Pleasure, pleasure, why)
I want to build a castle
(Pleasure, pleasure, why)
It's too much of a hassle

Desperate polemic
To feel more happy

It's a funny dictatorship
The one by which one must have
Pleasure, pleasure all of the time
In looking for this in real life
(Pleasure, pleasure, why)
Try to make it work in disguise
(Pleasure, pleasure, why)
Doesn't exist, I realize

His false and artificial means
(Pleasure, pleasure, why)
Isn't my reality
(Pleasure, pleasure, why)
Enforces a state of ennui

Desperate polemic
To feel more happy

Their hole is bottomless
Our freedom is endless
You may lie among your
Eternal amusement
