Cliché: get with the program

Meaning: do what was laid out before you (example)


Rewrite 1: get with the plan
Rewrite 2: follow the schematic
Rewrite 3: read the map
Rewrite 4: draw on the feed
Rewrite 5: tap the brain
Rewrite 6: follow the grooves


Comment: Two possible senses of the cliché here: the more caustic "do what we told you to do" or the invitation to "join up!"
