Institution Green

The walls are cracked and ***

And we are standin' in a line

Waitin' for our faces to be seen Institution Green

Watch the floor and count the hours

None will meet my eye

Private people in this public place I wonder if they'll take a look

Find my name inside that book

Lose me on the printed page

Where to point the aimless rage I cast my vote upon this earth

Take my place for what it's worth

Hunger for a pair of eyes

To notice and to recognize Institution Green

A woman stands behind a table

She will call my name

After that I'll be admitted in I wonder if they'll take a look

Find my name inside that book

Lose me on the printed page

Where to point the aimless rage I cast my vote upon this earth

Take my place for what it's worth

Hunger for a pair of eyes

To notice and to recognize

(Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh)

(Ahhh ahhh ahhh) Institution Green

Teach me how to pull the lever

Push the curtain closed

Take what's needed then just let me go Take what's needed then just let me go

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la la

And then just let me go

Take what's needed then just let me go

Just let me go

Just let me go

Just let me go
