Saddled With Fear

from The Binary Order by Michael O'Neill

/

lyrics

Fuck the history of Rock and Roll
With its self-defeating nostalgia
Retro fetish cycles
And comparisons to Icons
Glorified drug addicts
And self-obsessed no marks
Only given status
By a passive pack of idiots

Saddled with fear and sent out to labour
Perpetually presented with a brand new saviour
Change comes from the ground up don’t you know
That man is a Charlatan!

Quite happy to be a weirdo
In a culture full of normals
Cerebral Hygiene
The only way to combat the mind games

Culture being used
To pervert our state of consciousness
Omadorns and Idiots
Line up to amplify the ignorance

Pregnant with contempt
And ready to give birth
Can’t lose
Cause there are no rules
No supreme beings
Just equals and tools

The advert should actually read
Must be a team player
But willing… . . .
To fuck over your team mates

Self-reflection will get you nowhere mate
We measure life in metric
Questions will get you nowhere mate
We measure life in numbers

Percentages
Targets
Success Rates
And Quotas
Production
Consumption
Growth
And Efficiency

Care for social etiquette
Like I care for central government

After a hard day avoiding all forms of social interaction
And official forms of public life
I like to return home
And masturbate over house plants
Whilst listening to Whats the Story Morning Glory
Cranked up to 10

Alternatively
I like to use split screen stimulation
Group sex and European Philosophy
A psychological association that is so strong
That I now ejaculate at the very sound of Herbert Marcuse’s voice

There is no you
There is no me
There is no I
We are each about as unique as a Jaffa Cake
In a world full of Jaffa Cakes
