The Helio Sequence - Can't Say No

Calculate, cultivate, relegate and chalk it up to the basic needs.
Dissipate, isolate, these days you can why not believe all that you read.
And all the kids with the down low brainwaves,
Holding up signs that sayin’ “Guns kill, God saves!”
And all in the form of the faceless newscast,
Commercials that say live well but die fast.

Even if you wanted to, even if you could, oh-oh, you can’t say no.
Even if you wanted to, even if you could, oh-oh, you can’t say no.

Calculate, consecrate, elevate and give it up to reality.
Just too late, venerate, these days you can’t feel and conceive all that you see.
And all the kids with the sound byte same Janes,
Jokin’ up lines playin’ hoops through mind games.
All in the spell of the speechless redress,
Commercials that say take more but give less.

Even if you wanted to, even if you could, oh-oh, you can’t say no.
Even if you wanted to, even if you could, oh-oh, you can’t say no.

Consonant keepers of ladybirds wandering,
Desolate dreamers with the girls caught up in the sleigh.
Obstinate leaders of organized ignorance,
Making up rules for the mute and the willing.
But ooh, the kids that are raised in the freefall,
And so sad it’s in a pacified strip mall.
Makin’ wage with the daughters of gravity,
On the bedside phone my conscience calls to me.

Even if you wanted to, even if you could, oh-oh, you can’t say no.
Even if you wanted to, even if you could, oh-oh, you can’t say no.
You can’t say no.
You can’t say no.
You can’t say no.
