Lyrics

He prescribes the subject
He prescribes outsiders
His terms have a golden ring
He wants to find some order
Quantifying chaos
In words that only children sing
He tabulates the lexicon
Vocabulary minimized
Bow down to the jargon king
All questions become so simple
If we each the innate answer
If we all agree
If we all agree
On juju speak
And we fit into the formula
We all without exception
Prove the rule
We don't understand
He must be clever
He must be clever
He must be right
He must be right
We don't understand
Close the ranks and barricades
Impose the secret language
Go complexity all catchphrase
Word of any anguish
Binge in whole collusions
Shut the mold behind us
It's an obvious conclusion
We'll be the shadows of his highness
Oh, bow down to the jargon king
And his minion code words
Here comes the rain
Here comes the rain
