I saw the future, I saw me a way
Equal work, I thought, demands equal pay
I heard new music on the radio
I thought that gradual dissolution would be the way to go

Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?

Modern agriculture gave me my fill
Until I saw the things it brutally kills
Modern architecture gave me a kick
Until I lived among the brutalist bricks

Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?

With me all the time
Getting it wrong again

All the suffering evened out in the end
Stars and scriptures had some things to portend
Thought I could speak my mind but avoid a fight
I'd do it all and make sure everybody's doing alright

And we had the best in an imperfect world
We had the best of an imperfect world
We had the best, the best, the best

Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?

Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?
Where was my brain?
