“THE LIFE SOLD IN ADVERTS” 23 April 03

Baby I’m bored of bullshit
I’m tired of lies
In the tedium of personal politics
Nothing is a surprise
I’ve had enough of backbiting
Of power struggles and other things to despise
I don’t want to win the games you play
I just want a life

The life sold in adverts
The life of the free
A life where liberty and justice
Aren’t just excuses for crusades
And I have to speak my mind on this
I’m no longer in the dark
Bullshit crushes the human race
And makes us a shadow of our past Your insecurities a bore
You think you’re clever
But we’re just so bored
Moving onto honesty
A better way of life
If you want to drown
Baby I don’t mind

But I want the life sold in adverts
The life of the free
A life without petty politics
A life without hypocrisy.
