People can't think for themselves

People can't think for themselves.

Clipped out pictures,
recipes
family monotony
GPS systems
Social hierarchy.
chopping onions
People can't think for themselves.

Most cities I've been to are on a grid
I've been proficient in reading street signs while walking
it's amazing, really
to people with i-Phones.

Why think? There's an app for that
Use your brain? There's an app for that
Never get lost again.
Never discover anything new.
People can't think for themselves.

If I conducted a job the way you do
if I gave it that little thought
I wouldn't have a job
the issuance of the order will cause no substantial harm to the public
Say, is that what you really think about me?
Or is it sugar coated?
You see, I don't say things because I'm supposed to
I can in fact think for myself.
