Synthetic faces of plastic and of clay. Johnny can't come out and play today. The world is in turmoil and daddy's away. Mama, oh mama, see what you have done! You're cutting the face right off of your son. It started the day his life had begun. Synthetic faces of purple and green. It's your first day at school, so don't make a scene. You'll have to conform, like it always has been. Teacher, oh teacher, see what you have said! You're squeezing his brain right out of his head. And putting in all your frustration instead. Synthetic faces of red and of blue. Your daddy’s away and your momma’s gone too. And you never learned just what you should do. People, oh people, see what he's become. You've robbed him of everything; now he's a bum. His mind is all dead, and his body is numb. Synthetic faces of plastic and clay. Johnny can't come out and play today. The world is in turmoil and daddy's away.
