about

A song that covers a lot of angles, including herd mentality among society, the sheep on their smart phones.

lyrics

TOMORROW HASN'T HAPPENED YET

Where there's muck there is brass
You're in luck, raise your glass
To the Class of '87
Driving Chevys to the Heavenly Highway
And some will say
It takes a certain attitude
To play to pay to play
Are you buying this old crock of shame?

Don't be fooled by the rules
Just be cool, be the mule
That's schooled in every permutation
That obedience is true emotion
If there's one, maybe two
Then there is possibly a legion of them
Hiding in plain sight
Under night lights

Should they run, if they bolt
There could be consequences
For the future conduct of
A nation of idiot types, you know?

In the moat there's a boat
Still afloat in the hope
But the goats insist on chewing
Through the rope
That keeps it moored there

So long
Tomorrow hasn't happened yet
So long
But midnight is a nailed-on bet
Sweet dreams honey, don't forget

The memoirs of a jumped-up diplomat
Plundering the natural habitat
What would the locals make of that?
They're holding candles to
The wind of changeability
Hoping for a flame to take

When they call on the fool
To be fooled by the rules
You know it's getting closer to
The judgement of the chosen few

Shut up and obey
