the weathers getting cold, the pollution's growing thick life on this planet now only makes me sick you want to curl up into a foetal ball block your eyes and ears numb from it all

as the days connect in this labyrinth of stress life once simple is now a f___in mess
the city is faceless brimming with toil like a vat full of scum it starts to boil yearning for money to numb the pain but the world of employment will drive you insane
get a nestegg of savings for a rainy day but the government will tax it til it dwindles away

the news reports just keep getting worse the rapid decline of mankind's curse
shackled to work and bound by debt consume synthetic reality through your TV set

try and move from the city but all the land has been raped the plush remains divided by Corporate stakes succumb to crime and you're only playing their game
locked in a cell, your 15 years of fame the rain never stops the sun never shines
keep the drapes drawn the streets are full of eyes recoil in your world of paranoid fear
urban existence will make your soul disappear

we're infected with cancer and dying of aids
top of the food chain but we are starting to fade tamper with nature brings impending doom
eating genetically modified food you want us to pray to a god that is a myth
a moral placebo for our consciousness hidden surveillance records your daily routine
while you pledge allegiance to the system machine
