Lip Reading |
Spare me the psycho babble, the mental rub-down |
For the third time today I put his record on |
I caught this ailment on the rebound |
I’m looking for another one |
Just listen to the DJ and follow the instruction |
Yeah, you’re all so passive you drive me to destruction |
‘Cause you’re melting yourselves down into the cogs of mass production |
And you’re lip reading, you’re lip reading |
You’ve gotta see the designer souls in action |
Flagging each disaster so you know where they’ve been |
And I may be a sucker but I don’t see the attraction |
‘Cause your name is mud round here if you don’t come clean |
Now the bed-sits and graffiti squats are up for rent |
And the rebels here today are just tomorrows accidents |
And you’ve been walking white lines, but you’re so hell bent |
‘Cause you’re lip reading, you’re lip reading |
You’re not listening, it’s more than you can manage |
Trusting the soul transmission, trusting the body language |
In the distance someone plays a music hall classic |
And the small time pushers predicting snow again |
Someone tells the songwriter to quit the theatrics |
I expect revolution before I count to 10 |
So stand in line behind the Miss World failures |
Behind the leading voices and behind the drunken sailors |
Put our hands together, pray for these drowning men to save us |
But they’re lip reading, they’re lip reading |
Just pick up your bible of practical achievement |
Step one is how to catch him and step two is how to keep him |
Those halfwits have to check their pulse and make sure they are breathing |
‘Cause they’re lip reading, they’re lip reading |
Lip reading, they’re lip reading |
