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
