Lyrics

Governed

Charmer of the century

Float from landing to mezzanine

My genetic disparity

Is a prison of scenery

I'll have had less friends in my bed than most gay men

I'll only ever live in ground floor units or back houses

I make a great show of benevolence

I will die waiting

I will die governed

Some crucial move

I never discovered

I will be quiet

I will be othered

I will die waiting

I will die governed

I make a great show of sincerity

I fuck without honesty

Actor acting chronically

I fuck without honesty

I'll have had less friends in my bed than most gay men

I'll only ever live in ground floor units or back houses

I make a great show of benevolence

And that's it

I will die waiting

I will die governed

Some crucial move

I never discovered

I will be quiet

I will be othered

I will die waiting

I will die governed

I will die waiting

I will die governed

Some crucial move

I never discovered

I will be quiet

I will be othered

I will die waiting

I will die governed
