(Verse 1)
Cloaked in conformity
You keep your eyes shut
The world’s too big you might go astray
Repeat the mantra; you’re glowing
Inside of you now turning
A new lie you’ll nurture till your very last day

(Chorus)
Live by the Idiot’s guide to life
It’s easier this way
Why search, get the answers now
Who needs free will anyway

(Verse 2)
Hang up your shoes
You won’t be going far
The door’s not locked but you chose to stay
Your brand new chain’s so comforting
The path already chosen
Not by you but you walk it anyway

(Chorus)
Live by Idiot’s guide to life
The world’s not going anywhere
Why search, get the answers now
Free will is just too much to bear

(Bridge)
Dreaming too big is a sure way
To gain even more doubts
Isn’t it great to have your life
All figured out?

one day you'll wake up to find
for so long you have been dead
you may leave all these chains far behind
still won't escape the ones in your head

Too late to abort this mission now
New mediocrity for you to spread

(Verse 3)
Another day, another question you don’t ask
Life’s got you far too numb to try
Don’t take your eyes
Off of the screen
So you won’t see your face falling off around
that fake smile

(Chorus)
Live by the Idiot’s guide to life
It’s easier this way
Why search, just get the answers now
Who needs free will anyway

Conform to the Idiot’s guide to life
It’s easier this way
Why search, just get the answers now
There’s no good ones anyway
