Verse

Ten fingers counting we have each. Nine planets around the sun repeat.
Eight ball is the last if you triumphant be. Seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea.
It's a typical situation in these typical times, too many choices, yeah.
It's a typical situation in these typical times, too many choices, hey,

Chorus

Everybody's happy, everybody's free.
We'll keep the big door open, everyone will come around.
Why are you different? Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line we'll lock you away.

Instrumental

It all comes down to nothing.

Six senses feeling, five around a sense of self. Four seasons turn on turn off.

If you don't get in line we'll lock you away, oh,
Everybody's happy, everybody's free.
We'll keep the big door open, everyone will come around.
Why are you different? Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line we'll lock you away, oh.
It all comes down to nothing.
It all comes down to nothing.
It all comes, oh,
