No Way, No How
Look down you backstairs buddy
Somebody's living there and
He don't really feel the weather
And he don't share your pleasures
No he don't share your pleasures
Look at his eyes
Did you see his crazy eyes
You're so surprised he don't run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash
You can't help him
Nobody can
Now that he knows
There's nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
On the neighborhood threat
Somewhere a baby's bleeding
Somewhere a mother's needing
Outside a boy is lying
But m
Between a Laugh and a Tear
No songs on the stereo
That we could sing with anymore
No dance that I can do
That would not embarrass you
A sound bite here and there
WIth no reason for me to care
CHORUS
It's just beige to beige
That's all it is these days
Little windows for you to crawl through
You just do what's expected of you
It's just beige to beige to beige
These days
Uniforms for this and that
To be in our club you must wear this hat
Charlie's gonna look out for you
You just do what you're supposed to do
You're gonna fit in here
Just like you should
Learn the rules and learn them good
CHORUS
You need a thought
We'll give it to you
Our statistics show what we do is true
A world without color
Is a world without sound
A world to keep the rabble down
So close the deal, close the door
Forget about the colors that you knew before
It's just beige to beige
That's all it is these days, yeah
Little windows for you to crawl through
And Charlie gonna take care of you
It's just beige to beige to beige
These days
