Lyrics

This meeting will now come to order
Please take your seats
The minutes of the last meeting will be read
The minutes of the last meeting will be read
Old business, new business
There's a motion on the floor
Then we review new applications
State your qualifications, be specific
Pounding my head against a brick wall
Finally got smart, wised up
Gonna look out for myself now
I know better now
I know better now
Won't do it again
Won't do it again
Tell us about yourself
What events have brought you to us?
How did you reach this decision?
Are you aware of our function?
The consequences and restrictions
Of this organization
Be reminded we're listening for slip-ups
Indicating lack of conviction
Gave myself a little credit
I won't repeat past mistakes
Mistrust my feelings
Learned from my experiences
I know better now
I know better now
Won't do it again
Won't do it again
Administer this serum
Who's got a list of questions?
We all know why we're here
Let's get right to it
There must be order, there must be order
Shocking revelations
We are all deeply affected
But how many times?
How many times must they get burned
Before they learn their basic lesson?
Recondition their behavior
Reprogram their responses
Only stupid people fail to see
That it's a bad thing
Maybe in the 80s, but I doubt it
Maybe in the 80s, but I doubt it
Maybe in the 80s, but I doubt it
We're concerned about our members
(I know better now)
Ours is a very select group
(Won't do it again)
Go home and think about it
(I know better now)
Come back tomorrow, we'll talk some more
(Won't do it again)
Okay, gentlemen, let's play curling
We've all got things to do
