No songs on the stereo
That we could sing with anymore
No dance that I can do
That would not embarrass you
A sound bite here and there
With no reason for me to care

It's just beige to beige,
That's all it is these days,
Little windows for you to crawl through
You just do what's expected of you
It's just beige to beige to beige
These days

Uniforms for this and that,
To be in our club you must wear this hat
Charlie's gonna look out for you,
You just do what you're supposed to do
You're gonna fit in here
Just like you should
Learn the rules and learn them good

It's just beige to beige,
That's all it is these days,
Little windows for you to crawl through
You just do what's expected of you
It's just beige to beige to beige
These days

If you need a thought
We'll give it to you
Our statistics show what we do is true
A world without color
Is a world without sound,
A world to keep the rabble down
So close the deal, close the door
Forget about the colors that you knew before

It's just beige to beige,
That's all it is these days, yeah,
Little windows for you to crawl through
And Charlie gonna take care of you
It's just beige to beige to beige
These days
