lyrics

I WASN'T BORN INTO THIS WORLD
TO EXPLAIN THINGS TO THEE
I FAVOUR THAT FLEETING FLAVOUR
AS OF A DREAM
A FINISHED ARTICLE
A WASTED OPPORTUNITY
SMOKING IN THE MIRROR'S
WHERE YOU'LL FIND ME

WHO CAN BLAME A LIAR
IN A MADE-UP WORLD
WHO CAN BLAME A MUTE
IN A BULLSHIT SCHOOL
SOMETIMES I GET SO TIRED
OF YOUR BULLSHIT WORLD
I CAN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED
TO PLAY THE FOOL

AND EVERYBODY'S FUSSING
JUST TO BE THEMSELVES
AND EVERYBODY'S TANGLED
UP INSIDE THEMSELVES
THEY'RE PRACTICING TO BE
REAL TO SOME DEGREE
BUT THEY'LL BE LUCKY
TO EVEN MEET THEMSELVES

SQUARES MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND
