lyrics

Verse 1
I don't need / anybody / to show me / the right way
I've already made my mistakes / I learn the hard way
I've been a stray / for many days / in this forsaken place
And I gotta escape / this perpetual arms race

Chorus
So won't you show me the way? Cause I don't know
How to escape / this twisted freak show
So show, so show me the way
How do I escape?

Verse 2
The path to perfection / lies under their discretion
Follow the directions / In order to gain their affection
You're under constant inspection / Disguised as citizen protection
They feed you their infection / the laws prevent any and all objections
I think I've got an objection.... no, no, NO!

(Chorus)
(Breakdown)

Bridge
Society is killing me / slowly and painfully
Society stop telling me / Exactly what I'm supposed to be
Ya gotta WAKE UP, WAKE UP, when you gonna WAKE UP, WAKE UP
C'mon now WAKE UP, WAKE UP, ohhhhh
WAKE UP!

(Chorus)

This early-career set really captures the essence of "Merms" we know and love years later. The raw talent, the musical range, the funniness and zaniness... It's all here and it always has been. You just have to look. Must-have set for your collection. devilspawn41283

Finally, Merms's 1st full-length LP has found its way to Bandcamp. I really like this album because of its variety, catchy hooks, and strongly emotional subject matter. Still play thru it semi-regularly and can't wait for their next LP. Nettacki
