waves

oh well I know what you’re gonna say
that burdening constraint is wrapped around your head
and through that tainted glass, reflections of yourself
I want to coincide, but I can’t seem to work it out
and you’re fucking around
modern science denied
like drinking cyanide
your ill oil addiction is the source of earth’s afflictions
now all I see are sinking oil fields
we’re drowning in the waves of our dependencies
so scientists, please, invent me another world
the ice keeps falling down, it’s a problem we all share
but if you weren’t fucking around
burning atmospheres
maybe you’d see it clear
that your sole obligation is to preserve all of nature
I couldn’t concentrate on anything had trying to say
your actions they did dictate a different course to what you’re going for
oh I implore
don’t stand in the hallway don’t block up the door
oh no

complainin'

in a way I wish the world would go and change
we were lost in the postmodern phase
surfin’ down the street, resist authority
exposé, conditionally detained
destroy my brain just trying to make a change
this social strain, well it ain’t the only way
slide away from life, you can’t complain
alternatives? I wanna get away
austerity oh no you can’t complain
breaching privacy you have no reason to complain
yeah I found peace in the comfort of council estates
try to tell me to go and live within my means
my heritage based on a left-wing labour dream
so slide away, from life you can’t complain
alternatives? I got to get away
austerity oh no we can’t complain
your liberty? you have no reason to complain
oh and it never works
put your desires in line with the rest of the world
well i’d rather hate myself than hate the natural earth
rather hate myself than hate the natural earth
