Am I In Sync

Steve Taylor

Am I In Sync?



Synthesizer rock ruled Jessica's feet

as a slave to that ubiquitous beat

visions of the big screen danced in her head

"In a matter of time," she said

Jessie never got her Hollywood roll

and the pogo nights have taken their toll

she can do The Monkey off o' the cuff

but her mind has a missing link



chorus:

Am I in sync?

paint a picture on a subway train

carve my name in a video game

out looking for the camera crews

sell my soul for a second on the evening news

live 'til the bubble pops

hold my breath when the big one drops

immortality is what I'm buying

but I'd rather be immortal by not dying



Laboratory rats made Roger a fink

and the laws of science drove him to drink

working for the taste of public acclaim

and a cure the bore his name

Nobel Prizes would have been nice

but he lost his mind to renegade mice

Roger traded dreams of "Man Of The Year"

for an understanding shrink...



(chorus)
