Lyrics

I despise the shit lifestyle you have taken, that you have chosen
Fridge-freezer false happiness, corpse in the new oven
Tuck into death, as you admire this automatic new world around you
The miracle of the microwave cooks the animal that you slayed
In your world of buttons and knobs you turn "face blank"
Empty faced in your luxurious heaven, paradise
Never understanding those in so desperate need
No never understanding those who cry those who plead

Turn on the television, your face blank as that of the set
Minds drift away, minds that seem to always forget
Ignoring the reality only thinking of possessions of your shit lives
New car for the hubby, new fur coat for the wife
No never understanding as you're always competing
Who's got the best, who's got the worst, debating
No crap for you as you race for the top
No hardship for you as you never had it so good

No pains from hunger as you never had to starve
No aches from work as you never found work hard
You laugh and laugh because you know that you could
You laugh and laugh as you never had it so good
What you've got out of life, you smile as you stare
What you've got out of life, you take pride, you take care
Don't bother about the poorer parts of the world struggling to survive
Care only for your precious possessions that distract you from their hellish lives

I despise the shit lifestyle you have taken, that you have chosen
Fridge-freezer false happiness, corpse in the new oven
Tuck into death, as you admire this automatic new world around you
The miracle of the microwave cooks the animal that you slayed
In your world of buttons and knobs you turn "face blank"
Empty faced in your luxurious heaven, paradise
Never understanding those in so desperate need
No never understanding those in so desperate need
