Welcome to Erewhon
Welcome to Erewhon
Where there's always room for more
And you are pre approved
To buy a house you can't afford
And have a child or two
Like the ones in the brochures
Here is a big TV
It comes with Type II diabetes
And heart, disease
And pornographic fantasies
But put your mind at ease
We've got pills for each of these maladies
The streets of Erewhon
Are quiet and serene
No one here ever doubts
Our lawns are manicured and green
There's not a scream or shout
To complicate the scene
Masked and gowned
The town
Shuffles round
Without a sound
Eyes on the ground
Then we gather
In the Commonplace
Where it is all erased
Gone without a trace
High and dry above the anarchy
Nothing long can be
Just you wait
My friends
You think youre grownups now
But you don't know shit
How time can grind you down
And make you part of it
Just another in the crowd
You say you're innocent
Well everyone is innocent
When they move here
That's really not the point my dears
What is much more relevant
Is where youll get to in the end
Can you rise above it all
With your backs against the wall
When you're broken and subdued
We'll be waiting here for you
Welcome to Erewhon
And everywhere is Erewhon
WELCOME
Where there's always room for more
And you are pre approved
To buy a house you can't afford

And pornographic fantasies
But put your mind at ease
We've got pills for each of these maladies
The streets of Erewhon

No one here ever doubts
Our lawns are manicured and green
There's not a scream or shout
