Even as seekers of truth, we lie to ourselves

But our relative perception is the story no one tells

And we grow up to accept a mindset that is safe

A comfort in compliance as it puts us in our place

I've got to go

I've got to get out of groupthink

We've got to go

We've got to break out of groupthink

We don't even see it but we've got this mental process

We rationalize our fears but it mostly is unconscious

It protects us from the threat of the majority

And suppressеs our own thoughts in conformity

With the group

No individual thoughts

I'm busting out of cages, jumping off of stages

Driving around in an automobilе with no functioning gauges

A vessel on the trestle between madness and sanity

On which humanity is headed toward unthinkable calamity

Like the coyote with tunnel vision who foolishly fell for his own tricks

We're knockin' back the Amontillado on the wrong side of the bricks

And now exceeding the maximum weight of a load-bearing wall

Our fate is soon to crack the plate with a bench-clearing brawl

Why don't you think for me?

It's too much trouble to change the flow and disagree

Secure in comfort in a group of at least two or three

Try to be different and the group will shun and terrorize me
