2nd Hand

2nd hand car, 2nd hand shoes,
2nd hand point of view from the 2nd hand news.
2nd hand shirt with a 2nd hand tie,
and a 2nd hand reason from a 2nd hand lie.
2nd hand feelings from a 2nd hand need,
and 2nd hand sense of purpose from a 2nd hand greed.
2nd hand lives, 2nd hand pacified (buy now pay later).
Stay fresh plane crash, discount train smash.

A Better Lie

A better lie? don't even try.
Is that the best that you can do?
'cause I don't believe you.
Is that the best that you can do?
'cause you said it's something new.
Come on.
And if I could be bothered I would think of a better lie,
(but I don't like you enough to even try).

Civilised

I don't understand. No I don't understand. (excuse me).
Why everything's so lame, Why everyone's so wasted.
Why everything's so tame, why everyone's so sordid.
It's got to be your civilised societies (you got nothing for me).
No cheating? No lies? It's got to be.

Disposable

You are disposable means, and this is not what it seems.
Untouchable, controllable, disposable (I chose them all) .
'Cause you need to censor your dreams.

 

Microwaved

Systematic abuse on a daily basis, you're a racist (you don't know why?)
Evidence of your intrusion, multiplied by my contusions.
You can't suture the future (though you might try).
Because we're cut, dried, microwaved, safe in the knowledge that we'll be saved.
You say there's no black in the Union Jack but you can't give me a single reason why.
I say there's no 'common wealth' in the Commonwealth, 'cause it's the
colour of your money matters since the day the country died.
And don't you read the papers?
Economics is going to save us and science never sleeps .

 

Subject To Status

Bet ya, they're gonna get ya, sooner or later, one way or another.
Yes please I wanna see the Achilles species down on its knees.
Yes sir they're gonna save us (subject to status).
Absolution guaranteed (for a small additional fee).
And the first will be first and the last won't last.
Next time, 'm gonna get mine, sooner, later, one way or another.
Next scene I wanna be malignant instant watch your back guarantee.

Kerosene

I was born in this town (this town, this town, this town)
And I lived here my whole life (my whole life, my whole life)
And I'm probably going to die in this town
And I lived here my whole life
There's never anything to do in this town
And I lived here my whole life
There's kerosene around
She's something to do
There's kerosene around
Find something to do
Kerosene around, she's something to do
Kerosene around, find something to do
Kerosene around, she's something to do
Kerosene around, set me on fire
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire
Never anything to do in this town
And I lived here my whole life
Nothing to do, sit around at home
Sit around at home and stare at the walls
Stare at each other, wait till we die
Stare at each other, wait till we die
Probably going to die in this town
And I lived here my whole life
There's kerosene around
She's something to do
Kerosene around, now what do we do?
Jump kerosene, now what do we do?
Kerosene around, there's nothing to do
Jump kerosene, now what do we do?
Never anything do in this town
Never anything but jump kerosene
Never anything do in this town
Never anything but jump kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire

Please Sir

Please sir tell me why there's no black Superman?KKK kryptonite?
God only makes caucasian super-heroes.
Please sir tell me why we stick a man on the moon when life on earth's so cheap?
Son we gotta do our bit for the world trade deficit.
Please sir,please sir, tell me why, if 'God is love' I'm so dysfunctional? X2
Please sir tell me why there's so much vagrancy?
Layabouts get a job
Well there's an opening for a part time Unabomber.
Please sir tell me why my life's so pitiful but the future's so bright?
Well I'd look ahead but it burns my retinas.
Please sir,please sir, tell me why, if 'God is love' I'm so dysfunctional? X2

W Y S I W Y G

God awful waste-of-space dumb degenerate low life mal-adjusted freaks.
Now I want just one day for things to go my way
Low-life de-generation, generation.
Got to know your place, dumb degenerate low-life, failure of the week.
If what you see is what you get,
then we have nothing to regret from all the things i've seen.
And when there's nothing to regret,
our stupid lives we'll better yet, at least we'll all come clean.
