Healthy Body

Operation Ivy

Operation Ivy - “Healthy Body”

Expensive vitamin pills and wheat germ on your windowsill
Your schedule’s hectic and you’ve got no time to kill
Earning money and you’re spending it the right way
You’re just in such a rush, you don’t know if it’s night or day

5:30, get up, run, run, run!
Then, you work eight hours
Slaving under the gun
Your little world is based on lies, lies, lies!
Always rushing, but you’re never, ever satisfied

Healthy body, sick mind
Working overtime
Healthy body, sick mind
Too hectic, too hectic
Healthy body, sick mind
Why don’t you just unwind?
It’s just a matter of time
Sick body, sick mind!

The money you spend on running shoes could feed me for a week
Your plans are laid so well that you can’t even sleep
Pursuit of happiness got your life locked up under martial law
You’ve got everything to lose, so you’re paranoid about some fatal flaw

5:30, get up, run, run, run!
Then, you work eight hours
Slaving underneath the gun
Your little world is based on lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!
Always rushing, but you’re never, ever satisfied

Healthy body, sick mind
Working overtime
Healthy body, sick mind
Too hectic, too hectic
Healthy body, sick mind
Why don’t you just unwind?
It’s just a matter of time
Sick body, sick mind!

Here We Go Again

Operation Ivy

‘Here We Go Again’ - Operation Ivy

“Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds,
Unite themselves together to make our consciousness blind.
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away.
If that’s what they call normal I’d rather be insane.”
