One at a time
That's what lives should be like
Name & place in line
& a title on a plate that no doubt'll ever pry loose

But I can't choose, I can't even refuse, 'cause I never know what I like
I'm not bright, not as good as I might, all my schedules are tight
& no plan is going to save me from

The last silent revolution that nobody wants to listen to
I know that it's coming
Just a silent revolution that I feel in all the things I do
I know that it's coming
I need a good talking-to

Straight down a line
That's what thought should sound like
Time & place are right
So why not wear words like a slogan on a T-shirt

But I'm not hurt, always try to shoot first, & I've never been through any war
I'm a bore, I can never be sure that whatever I say isn't taken for the man I am

But the silent revolution I'm expecting like a traffic jam
I know that it's coming
Just a silent revolution that I never hope to understand
I know that it's coming
I need a good talking-to
