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
