lyrics

Reorientation Camp

We all have our place and we fall right back in line
It’s not too safe to move any faster than that
The certain order, is not too well defined
But step out of line and you’ll see where it’s at

We have a number, and we check in at the door
You better have it out when it’s your turn
I took a shortcut, no cause for great alarm
I didn’t think I’d done you any harm

Alright I see, my hand awaits your stamp
Please don’t send me to reorientation camp
Please don’t send me to reorientation camp

We all have our role and we play our part in life
You fumble a line you better make your exit fast
Your life’s on record, just remember that
We have a photostat of everything in your past

I understand now, you won’t hear from me again
I hope my uproar did not cause expense
I want a wife now, a job at your factory
I think I’ve finally found my common sense

Alright I see, my hand awaits your stamp
Please don’t send me to reorientation camp
Please don’t send me to reorientation camp
repeat

(Jan Gregor)
