this is a better, but a slightly smaller place to be your seaside shoreline slipping slowly into the sea your demographic is a little top-heavy when you’re old we’ll let you starve if you don’t let us be here you’ve been thriving on drivel and insinuation now it’s time to shut your mouth and take a little dictation you’d better hope your shorthand is up to speed we’re giving you your third degree
SEX! DRINK! CONSOLATIONS! i’ve given them all up to be with you LOVE! HOPE! REMUNERATION! i’ve given them all up for you
you think you’re very special but you’re all the same a pathetic apathetic pissing life away while slaving all these hours to pay for finery and for fresh air, bottled water and binary but it’s not about the money it’s the hegemony that depresses the hell out of me
we’ve been very patient we’ve been patronised something tells me that this stage is behind us we’re standing right here, do you think you can find us? we’ve made your life easy we’ve stayed by your side something tells me that the moment’s upon us we’re screaming in your face and you still can’t hear us
a little translation is a dangerous thing tell the underdog it’s threatened and it fights to win while lapping up piety and indignation now it’s time to drop the act and tell me your frustrations the slightest confrontation’s undesirable keep consequences at arm’s length to keep them palatable but i’m here to bring those consequences home to you come on, tell me that you want me to
i’ve given up everything for you so don’t say you don’t want me now i’ve given up everything for you so don’t say you don’t want me i’ll just stay here till you do
