working in the institution / where’d you get your big ideas? / mind pollution’s their solution / it’s enough to drive the kids to tears / na na na na na forget yourself / working in the institution / they’re quick to steal a good idea / distraction gets the best extraction / it’s as far away as it is near / every time you dare to dream / another vulture sees the perfect place to perch upon your back / the early worm that turns to steal the fickle future / lines the pocket with a little of what’s left / forget yourself / working in the institution / yeah, where’d you get your big ideas?

I knew a girl I didn't know / Working in the Institution,
