Continual

It's continual Everyday new shit, new shift, new grift Promises become lies, become promises, and then they die Forgotten about, time after time

And I'm supposed to look up to you To respect and bask in this awesome glow of riches and power But there's nothing No grandeur, no glory, no style, no substance Just endless re-runs, old cheep plastic

And it's looking all battered now, so drastic The nation's ravaged corpse, pecked to the bone Meaty faces feverishly grasping that impotent throne And I'm hit by the frustration in the elation Sat on the sidelines, watching everything turn to shit

And you want me to be happy, to rejoice in this failure Dance like a prick as the world falls apart Yet you bait my morals, push me to poof out my chest To laugh in the face of the ruiners of it all The sycophants, enablers, the liars, the fools Under gallons and gallons and gallons of imperialist drool As those headlines wail, shouting their fucking heads off

Gold font, black letters in the corner of the newsagent Larry, Gordon, screaming at the counter And I'm lazy, I know I am But this impending defeat hangs heavy in the air And here he comes, the stride, the glide, all busts of pride Little or no care, the criminal parade A paper, a tweak, a grimace, a smirk Let's all take a trip to fucking hell and maybe work

Trial bike balaclava flies past on this road of constant repaired despair And the curb stinks of dog shit And the sky's caving in I'm wet right through It's summer, it's autumn, it's winter, it's August Just stop having 'em on Just stop having 'em on
