Well Measured Vice (Featurecast Dub Mix)

Political man, I am not

But I can smell a scum that's spreading like dry rot

Mounted on high horses, here they come

On their very own newly written rules of thumb

From the ladies in their strip clubs

To the men who sell you porn

Puritanical thugs are out to shoot you down with scorn

So much desire on this playday today

It makes no sense to push the real display away

What is life, what is life, without well-measured vice?

Sweep it away, you'll pay the price

What is life, what is life, without well-measured vice?

Sweep it away, you'll pay the price

Your rights and wrongs decided for you

They will pity and deplore you

And assume that you are goods that

Have been damaged in your journey

As you travelled into sin

But the body as the site of sin is really wearing thin

Push it underground, what a surprise!

Be witness to a darker demise

Into the hands of crooks who feed on bribes

Be witness to a darker demise

What is life, what is life, without well-measured vice?

Sweep it away, you'll pay the price

What is life, what is life, without well-measured vice?

Sweep it away, you'll pay the price

When will the politics of envy end?

The moral police are out to cleanse, cleanse, cleanse

Say "Gay Cabaret", that might offend

So they'll grab another law, which they can bend

At first I chose simply to ignore

The many changes that they had in store

But now a cleanup operation's put in place

Well, my friends, this is one thing we must face

What is life, what is life, without well-measured vice?

Sweep it away, you'll pay the price

What is life, what is life, without well-measured vice?

Sweep it away, you'll pay the price
