Jack Is Seated

Chris Juris


Our social structures provoked strange desires 
Then they tabooed their means of expression 
I guess I hit the nail on the head 
When absorbing a few to stamp them out 

I couldn't watch what I watch 
I couldn't hear the things I listen to 

JACK IS SEATED RIGHT IN YOUR MENTAL SPIRAL SPRING 
LIABLE TO KNOCK HIS HEAD AGAINST YOUR CRANIUM 

I guessed I touched off a psychosis 
When I roused that dragon from his sleep 

Their sociological recipe for characters made me into a case 
They were so kind to make me the kind 
That carries out his revolution by instinct 

NEVER STRUCK YOU THE PILLS THEY MADE TO CURE THE STIR 
HAPPEN TO BRING ABOUT THE CAUSE ITSELF? 

They diagnoced me but forgot about purpose 
If you're strange to a case - just name it! 

JACK IS SEATED.... 

And if you ever doubted that the image accounts for the spirit 
Just watch the system rear your children by media 
While seducing the masses to suppress your vocation 
'Cause the caps fit them but they don't wear them too close to home 
Deceived by the appearance they blocked up our doors 
Still trying to grasp what they protect us against 
And contraceptive docs with trademark on quality 
Make out prescriptions for your legal dreams 
But their sexual frustrations still punish your dreams 
....My zest for life incites me to explore every aspect of human nature 
But do I practise what I see if it never was in me? 

JACK IS SEATED.... 

JACK IS SEATED right in your mental spiral spring 
JACK IS SEATED ready to touch off a psychosis 
JACK IS SEATED - watching the news 
JACK IS SEATED - and he breeds like hell 

I couldn't feel what I feel 
I coldn't think the things they drive me to 

JACK IS SEATED!
