Cracker - Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out With Me Lyrics






Come on, turn on, tune in, drop out, with me
Baby you need a break so lets just run away

Well I'm tired of coding Perl, and I'm tired of VBA
Maggie throw your law books away

Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me

Now picture this:

I'm shopping in town for our homemade agrarian fortress
You're texting: Corian, Granite, or Tile Kitchenette in the gun nest?

Well we will find a little meadow
high up in the Cascades

Baby we wont ever come down
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me

Turn on, tune in, drop out, with me
The whole things coming down
So lets just get out of the way

Well I'm not paranoid, there is no conspiracy
But I swear big brothers watching me
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me

So you're serving aperitifs to the local survivalist militia
In camouflage you're fine but the locals still call you Morticia

Well find a little meadow
high up in the Cascades

Baby we wont ever come down
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me

Buy a little cabin in the Adirondacks
Baby they'll never find us
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me

Hand stitch out tepee
Windy East Mojave
Watching for black helicopters

Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me
