Polyester doesn’t breathe
like all technology they left the best part out
and I suppose we all have needs
but I don’t know what that’s all about

And they hated Montreal
couldn’t understand just why I cared at all
she said: why didn’t you call
she stopped the car and I got out

and they’re all so cultured, cultured, cultured,
cultured, cultured, cultured, cultured
yeah ah yeah ah yeahah

And maybe, there’s some slick master plan
there’s a will, there’s a way, someday we’ll all understand
but baby, don’t feel obliged to believe
every lie that you’re told, every verdict they plead
let’s count the ways, we give meaning to life
there’s religion, there’s science, free choice, good advice
all political virtue ends with that last cigarette
lined up against the wall, blindfolded with regret
but we’ll all sleep, sleep sleep sleep so soundly tonight


And they hated Montreal
couldn’t understand just why we cared at all
with our backs against the wall
we inhaled every last doubt

Polyester doesn’t breathe
like all technology they left the best part out
she said: maybe you should leave
she stopped the car and I got out

and they’re all so cultured, cultured, cultured,
cultured, cultured, cultured, cultured
yeah ah yeah ah yeahah

And maybe, there’s some slick master plan
there’s a will, there’s a way, someday we’ll all understand
but baby, don’t feel obliged to believe
every lie that you’re told, every verdict they plead
let’s count the ways, we give meaning to life
there’s religion, there’s science, free choice, good advice
all political virtue ends with that last cigarette
lined up against the wall, blindfolded with regret
but we’ll all sleep, sleep sleep sleep so soundly tonight
