Lyrics
Buy track
Everybody else is going somewhere;
I, however, have nowhere to go
“i don’t know!”. i don’t know
Those who won’t employ me must be laughing
When they read the answers i provide;
“i don’t know”. where’s my guidebook?
Don’t quote me your scriptures
They’re just pretty pictures which
Offer me no comfort;
They may work for some, but not
Me down in this ditch
Caught between the cutting and the thrusting
Reasoning that neither holds appeal
I admit i struggle with adjusting
To a world far from ideal…
I can offer zero
In a number-cruncher’s view;
Am i doomed to follow
Lifelong timecard-punchers who
Also did not know?
Shiftless drifters graft and grift for food
Hopeless heaps of sleepless worker bees
‘feckless’ families’ facsimiles
Shiftless drifters graft and grift for food
Hopeless heaps of sleepless worker bees
‘feckless’ families’ facsimiles
Shiftless drifters graft and grift for food
Aimless parents spawn the gormless
On and up rich go, cups overflowing
Strong and tall, secure and always knowing
Breeding means an easy life awaits them
Cushioned by an underclass that hates them…
Mother popped me out without a blueprint
Father never handed me a script
Neither had a clue of what to do, hint or idea;
I’d reach the end of youth
No wiser as an early riser
Yielding the result – i’m
Legally adult but
Scraping by in apiaries…
Why did they keep their line alive –
To send their children to the hive?
I have no wisdom to bequeath
Just ugly skin and crooked teeth…
Should i be pushed or simply jump
Or waste away, a worthless rump?
How else can i escape this dump?
Driven by his greed, not by his needs
I would take whichever exit’s nearest;
I don’t know where it leads to…
Capital is nothing but a concept
Poverty is positively real;
Money is a myth and should be gone, wept
For by those who cannot feel…
No-one is rewarded
After death but sordid worms;
What one sows in autumn
Can’t be reaped post-mortem, so
If we make it nice
Earth is paradise
Those on breadlines work to shorter deadlines
Too preoccupied to self-reflect
Their deaths seldom make the solemn headlines
Nor command widespread respect
Perspicacious people ponder purpose;
Lives end in pursuit of what they mean
Parents burp us, children will usurp us;
Should not good happen between?
Lowbrows in low situations tend to be low-hanging fruit;
Low status, low expectations and low self-esteem to boot
And how the high stick the boot in! high-handed, high-hatting hordes
High-minded and highfalutin, on high, claim the high rewards
