Upright Citizen |
| You have this life, what for? |
| Tell me |
| Spend it on shit, your ignorance appals me |
| You serve me your morals, changed for a fiver |
| Upright citizen, Penthouse subscriber |
| You won’t print the word, but you’ll beat up the wife |
| In your ignorant, arrogant, terminal life |
| You have this life, you deprive me of mine |
| With your twisted, imbalanced idea of sin |
| That revolves around money; |
| how much are you bought for? |
| A tenner, a fiver, is that what you’re caught for? |
| I’m sick of your pride, you think you can rule me |
| With crappy judgement from your respectable majority |
| Majority of what? |
| You self oppressed idiot |
| I’m not going to carry you, I’m no compatriot |
| How many times do I excuse and forgive |
| The damage inflicted by the way that you live? |
| I hold my vision against your oppression |
| Your final defence, your only possession |
| I’ll show you the blood, but you’ll still point the gun |
| If the money’s enough, or can you show you’re a man? |
| To your submissive wife, desperate whore |
| Home loving, mothering, stifling bore |
| You have this life, you twist and abuse it |
| Morals and money and media controls it |
| Can’t you see the dead children, blood in the street? |
| Every fist that you raise is a corpse at your feet |
| Every time you are bought, I don’t care the amount |
| You are the rapist, dealing in death count |
| And you do this with mercenary morals, you shit |
| Oh, you’ve been told about dignity down in the pit |
| Respectable working man, honourable wife? |
| A waste of energy and an insult to life |
