What are you listening to ?

I'll make a reckless prediction
I'll still be in the kitchen
When the lights come on
I think we'll probably be good
If stuff is still where it stood
When the lights come on

We won't remember each other
But we'll probably recover
Unless everyone's gone
It might be too soon to say this
But I think that we may just
See the lights come on

See I've been picturing
Diagrams of master plans
I taught myself to draw in the dust
With what remains of my left hand

And from what I can tell
I'll be no more than a shell
Or an automaton
But we'll be laughing and shit
It will have been worth it
When the lights come on

Unless we chicken out again
Which is exactly how we ended up in here
Our guard was down, we were disarmed
They tampered with the smoke alarm

There won't be any more trouble
You'll be dragged from the rubble
When the lights come on
And I'll be looking so great
I will have lost some weight
When the lights come on

We will be growing mustaches
Once we're raised from the ashes
When the lights come on
We'll be encased in gold
Desiccated and old
When the lights come on

See I've been picturing
Diagrams of master plans
I taught myself to draw in the dust
With what remains of my left hand

And from what I can tell
Groping around, there's something else
I feel a face, I feel a pulse

I think I'm
Tripping
Something's got me by the hair
Let's table this discussion
Until my concussion
On the bottom stair

Unless I pass out once again
And find the bandage where my kidney used to be
Knocked over lamp, some broken plates
Prescription pads for opiates
 
Same old stuff, you've heard it all before
Crass being crass about the system, or is it war?
We ain't got no humour, we don?t know how to laugh
Well, if you don't fucking like it -- fucking tough!
Cos I'm the same old monkey in the same old zoo
With the same old message trying to get through
Screaming from the platform when the train ain't even there
I've got a one way ticket, but i don?t fucking care
If what I've got to say is always much the same
It's cos the game the system plays is still the same old game
Senile idiots in their seats of power
Ancient rotting corpses breathing horror by the hour
They're lovers of death those fucking creeps
Screwing our earth as our earth weeps
Iron ladies and steel men
Waiting for their fucking war to start again
Blood lusting nutters plan death for us all
They'll all be hiding in their bunkers as we watch the missiles fall
Ain't they just so decent, respectable and nice
Eating the fat of the land while it?s us that pay the price
Westminster's full of psychopaths with blood clots istead of brains
Flesh hungry vultures picking our remains
Shitting on the world they've shat on many times before
Fucked it good and proper, in the name of the law
Well bollocks to the lot of you and you can fuck off too
If your bored with what I say, no-one's asking you
Just fuck off and have your fun
Hoist your jolly roger and wave your plastic gun
With your painted faces and your elegant style
How about trying to think for a while?
As you decorate your lifestyle with cheap consumer bliss
Forget about loving, it's your arse you're going to kiss
As long as they've got you under their thumb
With TV lobotomy and media fun
They'll have their way with you, what more can I say?
Watch out for the mind police and have a nice day


i'd fix that, but i can't be bothered
