Lyrics Institution Green - Suzanne Vega

Institution Green

Institution green
The walls are cracked and dim
And we are standing in a line
Waiting for our faces to be seen
Institution green
Watch the floor and cound the hours
None will meet my eyes
Private people in this public place
I wonder if theyll 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 its worth
Hunger for a pair of eyes
To notice and to regognize
Institution green
A woman stands behind a table
She will call my name
After that Ill be admitted in I wonder if shell 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 its worth
Hunger for a pair of eyes
To notice and to regognize
Institution green
Teach me how to pull the lever
Push the curtain closed
Take whats needed then just
Let me go
