Archway Towers |
Rolling up tab ends that the baby’s collected |
Waiting for the number that clicks on the wall |
It’s open season on the weak and the feeble |
Their meagre ambitions, their impotent fury |
There’s bullet proof glass in case there is trouble |
No doors in the building between this side and that side |
I’ve tried to wrestle some unbalanced nightmare |
Tell myself over that I don’t really live here |
But the boys run away leaving blood on the pavement |
And a little crowd gathered to watch you pick yourself up |
Joining the queue at the video library |
To watch ninety five minutes of simulated torture |
The conference hall rings to the standing ovation |
The people in blue ties rise from the podium |
Crazy with power, blinded by vision |
The mass-chosen leaders for a brutalised nation |
