about

we never knew we had it so good we never knew our teeth were made of wood ignoring boring warning signs signing on the dotted lines years and fucking years this is what they call the nothing years i was so eager to take a piss then i figured out i don’t exist i wanna spend me money on a plane ticket till i realized everywhere’s the same old shit

Gary never left his flat afraid he never would come back he tried to paint his carpets black he gave himself a heart attack no Gary don’t go up on the bridge there's a two year old turkey at home in the fridge no Gary down go out on a limb don’t you remember that you can’t swim Gary had a dream that he fell down the stairs when he woke up he didn’t have any hairs when he shaved he didn’t have any face drums and guitar he didn’t have no bass

off the plane in the rain swab your hand eyeball scan best be careful what you do cameras watch your every move in a new dark age you’re the highest force you can live in a castle ride around on a horse and at the tent city things are pretty shitty so they built a bandstand a sculpture of an out stretched hand but there's a price to pay for your cafe au lait microplastic sickness in your tea and biscuits

my business gone belly up i just can’t sell make up maybe we could make up if i was able to wake up but we’re going to California i thought that i should warn you my pockets full of sorrows memory full of bummers haunted in the valleys and hungry in the mountains working on the drains to sabotage the fountains

go you gotta go when you gotta go you gotta go the next one to flex peacocks strut around the nest we’re all guests but we jest an albatross around your neck its hard to stop punching the clock its hard to stop being alive the body gives but no release see the apples see the trees

in modern times we’ve got to stick together if one goes down we all go down birds to a feather stuck together turned the stories upside down fish out of water spit on each other but in the river we all swim down the rich people wanna divide and conquer push all the workers out of town

everyone wants to change the world but it wont stand still unless you take a pill with a bit of cream if you know what i mean well nor do eyeball looking at the sun could it be the one that keeps us warm me hands next to the fire and throw another log on top of me maybe this won’t
work out no no no no no I’m feeling too left out maybe we can work it out whats it about same garbage gotta be taken out shaken about make some more money is a dirty word or so I’ve heard i read it on a wall it was bold graffiti from you to me a personal message

a bit of prog with an extra one chord some people like a lot of extra chords but extra chords make some people bored we wanted to play some prog but we play guitar like dogs hey you at the back trying to leave we’re not done yet with our set there’s only one problem with prog it makes me stick me head down the bog we tried to write a concept album but lo and behold nothing happened

i get up in the morning i go to bed at night and then i wake up and 3am and think about me life no rest for the gutters i go to work at the hospital people scream and people yell then i retired and died i found myself screaming in hell

you wanna talk about the divine power of kings burn you at the stake cut off your head hang you up cut you down leave you for dead fuck up the church fuck up the people fuck up yourself because you’ve got no equal

i like me oil dug from the soil runs the cars flies the planes cave in the world before we go solar can’t deprive the industries of their holy dollar of their holy pound sucked from the ground they told me it was bones sold it to me on loan but the humans gotta move back and forth across the earth scuttling around trying to distract ourselves i like me oil i won’t give it up won’t quit using it until its all used up
