lyrics

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
