Sanctimony

Sitting in a car park
Sharks across the street
Little Chinese lady
On her little Chinese feet
Every moment stolen
You borrow from the past
Like semolina pilchards
Nothing ever lasts
Telling different stories
All the endings stay the same
List to the beat now
Here comes the refrain

We can all
Lie down
Together
We can laugh
We are so proud
Instead
We fall
Together
This is our
Primal yell

Working in a factory
Computing all day long
You wouldn’t know the feeling
Accuse me of addiction
Toking on your bong
Your world has no excitement
No curiosity
It’s hardly surprising
You’ve seen it on TV
Look in the reflection
I’ll tell you what you see
No on e staring back now
Nobody but me
