The flashing neon signs will lead
Right off the edge of the road that you travel
(But you’ll follow them anyway)
For that’s what you’ve been told to do
And when you crawl from the wreckage
Trying to find what went wrong on tbe way
You’ll find yourself stuck for an answer
You did exactly what you had been taught
Read all the signals, obeyed all the rules
And all that was promised to lead you to glory
Lead to the bottom of the pile instead
You’ll climb out, dust off, and take a long look
And find nothing to tell you just where you went wrong
The truth is, there’s nothing that you could do better
This path we follow is trial and error
And sometimes it works out and others it won’t
And you won’t know a damn thing ’til you find the end
