some people live in their cars
go about with sniper’s eyes
keep their guns in sleeping bags
they’re real regular guys
some folk live in the stars
shining bright with delusion
got control of their minds right now
but the only way to go is mad
some folk live in shanty towns
electricity’s what they lack
they got no water to cook in
got whips biting into their backs
newspapers keep me warm at night
newspapers tell me the truth
ah got a bed of roses
ah got a bed of nails
ah got a bed of concrete and bones
got a sailboat with out any sails
and some folk
they can build their boats
and some folk
they can cook
others can cure cancer
and some folk
they write books
sad bastards - with Mozart ringtones
sit on trains in trances destroying world peace
and
the quiet is far too quiet
and
loud is way too loud
and
young is always much too young
and
old is already dead dead old – pure dead but brilliant old
by the way
and
middle aged is totally fucked
and
everybody’s useless
except
mrs greedy and mr lust - the thrusting entrepreneurs
wah wwwaaaaahhhhhhh (Scream: WWHHAAAAAAAAHHHH)
