Voices are coming through the speaker
They can't make me a believer
I know I'm an underachiever
And we're all so proud
Watch out, I think we're goin' under
Right now, you're just another number
Get out, the system's in the gutter
And we're all so proud

Frustration, desperation
They say I need some kind of medication
Situation: no motivation
Destination: permanent vacation
