Credit cards, sealed lifts and covert sanitation
Processed meat and a national waste disposal system:
The scale of deception begs the question what it is we're burying
Cosmetics, contact lenses and plastic surgery:
Bulk orders for yet more imperial finery
Double-glazing for phasing out suspicions that this is really happening
It seems this season the cool kids are sporting white canes and braille zines
And when I close my eyes am I invisible?
An embarrassed smile and you assume that I'm being rhetorical
But if I don't see it die, this animal is invincible
I won't catch your eyes tonight
I will stutter my way through naked poverty
Until I'm across the street (safe)
I justified giving my eyes to stevie wonder
With some spiel about a sense of wonder to discover
But I was hiding under cover of the excuse of helplessness
I fell in line with the cool kids and spared my eyes instead of change
I just called to say that someone moved my furniture around
And so I fell down
And I hatched a plan here sprawled on the ground
So hey, what do you say
We pack our things and call it a day
Some come round
Let's lose that frown
And you and I will leave this town behind
