The Tale of the Private Mind

Lyrics

Legend has it There's a large Mind about Four feet by Five foot around Hidden behind a movie Screen, it is held against its will In a glass tank And forced to think about Nothing but Money, and money alone It's nourished only on tap water And is hastily wiped down twice a week With damp newspapers Its captors keep the huge mind in check By introducing a precise combination of ch-ch-chemicals into its bloodstream As a precautionary and more fundamental behavioral model They also employ some 200 individuals whose sole purpose it is to whisper feverishly And appear to be fearful in the presence of the large exposed and heaving mind And the staff carries on like so Around the clock, tick-tock Until day 7 At the end of, this gets the giant mind a ten-minute break [?] Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind On the final third of this recess A nine year old girl is ushered in with a stethoscope around her neck She is also on the payroll and it is her solitary task to (Close your eyes tight... Close your eyes tight... Close your eyes tight... Close your eyes tight...) And kiss the poor mind softly on the glass Feverish, in the glass tank, on tap money alone and money alone Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind Money and the human mind
