Little girl's eyes open wide
Two ways to go but you can't decide
Follows all rules, has no say
Ends up in somebody else's play
Close your eyes 'cause you just don't need them anyway
Lose as directed, don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Little boy sitting in his master's arms
Safe and protected from any harm
Wants to be a man, wants to branch out
But he's told not to ask questions or doubt
Close your mind, it's a book of instructions now
Lose as directed don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Lose as directed.
Let's go!
Monkey see, monkey do
Just another animal in the zoo
Got four wall security
Never even have to read a recipe
But it's not exactly what you would call free
Lose as directed, don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Lose as directed
You lose!

Lose As Directed, an obviously sarcastic song. The song is about our lives being planned and how the mainstream society wants us to follow along in the 'master plan' and not deviate. The idea of 'Lose As Directed' being that if we follow along in this plan we're destined to fall to a close minded, mouth-sewed-shut death. The first verse about decision making, 'two ways to go but she can't decide.' You get the point. The second, the boy in the verse is raised to a life of privilege and he's just going to grow up like his father (master), and his mind will just be 'a book of instructions' how to act, what to say, what to do, etc. The last verse is about how a monkey in a zoo never has to think, decide, or fend for itself, but the last line says it best, 'it's not exactly what you would call free!' (the monkey's in a freakin' cage).
