Lost &
Found
Ain't nobody tells
me what to do now
I've heard all the lies & been promised the world
no business man is going to use or confuse me
'cause I ain't no puppet for his capital gain
What do get but exploitation
from creeps who are going to ignore your situation
Too many people getting pushed around
going to end up in the lost & found
They say I got to respect the system
but there ain't no respect in that system for me
you got to be satisfied & show no resistance
if you want to get to the top of that tree
What do you get etc etc...
They give you media minds to keep you satisfied
then take you brain away to appease & make you smile
Memories
are made of this*
Aren't you a mess
you shouldn't act like this
you stand right there
& laugh in my face
you ask me why I haven't left
Are you feeling fine
have you really got the time
to bother to write one line
don't lay you on the line
it's easy to be the missing link
You're living your life in a chain gang
you're so well guarded
You're living your life in a chain gang
you're so retarded
Are you feeling fine
have you really got the time
to bother to write one line
don't lay you on the line
it's easy when you're the missing link
Are you feeling brave
you might dig your own grave
use the money that you save
lose the money that you save
You shout out
they're all the wrong answers
You're waiting for someone who will never come
You're waiting to hear someone who won't even call
You're living etc etc...
Private
Affair
You say that you got the answers
you heard them all on the telephone
& now you're telling everybody
a major coup in the business zone
We got new thoughts new ideas it's all so groovey
it's just a shame that we have seen the same old movies
So you think that you got a first in fashion
new uniforms we all look the same
A new vogue for the now generation
a new profit in the same old game
We got new thoughts etc etc...
& you think you can run & hide what you've done
don't you know no one cares after the first million
A minor
Aversion
I've taken all I can
I'm not going to stand here
& be walked on anymore
'cause I don't need you
these days your facts
they don't mean a thing
You think I am going to walk the line
believe your lies all the time
you don't make me your fool anymore
I've waited so long
you kept me here
with all the lies you told
You think that I will stay the same
you think you got me
Don't you know this thing can't last
Don't you know that time will pass
your dreams are not your own anymore
I've waiting for too long
I've been watching & I'm not wrong
I'm not waiting anymore
No your
Product
The tv screen becomes
my eye
it's the legal monster of a future time
there is no opinion that ain't my own
no thought that isn't mine...completely
I said 21 years is a long long time
to be in this prison
when there is no crime
So jailer won't you bring the key
I want to break down the door
can you hear me
You know the damage gets done so fast
it's all the truths that just don't last
I got creeps in drag crawling round my door
disguised as priests they quote the law
Selling bibles for a secret fee
& it's all done for me
I'm such a lucky man
You know the damage gets done so fast
it's all the truths that just don't last
it's another lie they want to uphold
another day till we all grow old & break down
So I get bored with a TV mind
no place to go no future's mine
NF banners flying in the wind
like free lobotomies
I don't recommend one
So open your mouth & you get done
the police state keeps you on the run
scream injustice better scream it loud
as you're punched down in the crowd
You know the damage etc etc....
This Perfect
Day
Don't talk to me about what's been done
nothing has changed it all goes on
& they'll keep laughing till the end
I've seen them drive around in cars
all look the same get drunk in bars
& don't talk back we got no social rights
This perfect day
what more to say
I don't need no one to tell me what I allready know
We got no high times always flat
if you go out you don't come back
it's all so funny I can't laugh
This perfect day etc etc...
Rundown
You are just like a
magazine
front cover stuff
you're a scream
posed in such a careful way
there is nothing you can't do
you think you have seen it all
got pictures habging on your wall
fame is nothing new to you
but the good old days are through
You're rundown now out of time
don't want to hear the same old line
c'mon now my little friend
don't you know now that this is the end
Call up the chaueffer & the hire car
down the west end to your favorite bar
talk is going to save you life
before the pills can go too far
You're lost in a masquerade
old girls live on they never fade
fame is nothing new to you
but the good old days are through.
You're rundown etc etc...
Call up you managers & your friends
no one wants to see you
but they pretend
You're such a star
& we all live for you
Night time can't bear to be alone
so find yourself a crowd until the dawn
fame is nothing new for you
but the good old days are through
You're rundown etc etc...
Orstalia*
I don't live this life for me
in orstralia land so free
everyone lazing in the sun
nobody cares so let's have fun
We got no problems got no war
& you don't need your brain no more
No sir
Orstralia goes in once again
we must remeber all our friends
& to make sure always
that we support the CIA
We got no problems got no war
& you don't need your brain no more
No sir
Hang your washing on the line
it's Ok the weather's fine
your hubby goes out commits no crime
he always gets to work on time
New centre
of the Universe
You're the latest high fashion magazine
always hanging around trying to cause a scene
& oh so perfect in every little thing you do
I don't like the games you are playing
& you can't keep saying you just don't understand
Surround yourself with the best in life
you aren't wrong now but you ain't never been right
& don't ask questions unless it gets something for you
it's untrue....
I don't like the games you are playing
& you can't keep saying you just don't understand
Untitled
I've taken a chance
it's more than I have before
when I look at you girl I don't need no more
I can't understand these feelings of mine
because of you it's going to be allright
You know that chance girl it don't often come
this world it gets you & keeps you on the run
I've messed around & wasted my time
but someone like you is so hard to find
These days will soon be passed
but memories I know will last
of the times I spent with you
Babe I know what I've been told
but there is something here that I can hold
& I know because of you
Missunderstood
I stand alone now I don't run
I don't care nothing for your seventh son
I've been missunderstood for too long
Been screaming loud but I ain't been heard
sometimes I wonder if it's worth the words
I've been missunderstood for too long
You're all talking about better days
if I got one I think I'd go insane
I've been missunderstood for too long
Been screaming loud but I ain't been heard
I've been missunderstood for too long
I tell you babe it just ain't right
I sit & dream about you every night
still I can't get ya....
