Hereditary Misery

He sits there opposite me on the tube with his arms crossed like a silly fucking Schoolboy
Thinking about how he wishes he didn't do what he did
He thinks he's in trouble he hasn't even seen trouble
I'm staring at the stitches in his trousers
They're strong not like mine not like mine
His are made to be strong
I sat sewing mine up just to have them ready in time
In time for my day at school
Like a happy fucking schoolboy

It's taken me a while to realise that nothing really has an effect on anything at all
No right or wrong no place to go no place to be
That all this in life is somehow pretty easy
Sure it's tough if you've chosen a place to go or a place to be
And you're neither here nor there just sat in some comfy chair
And when you realise you're never gonna get there
Even if you do you're probably gonna hate it too

When will you run away?
You're walking in the same shoes your mum and daddy did
No, I can't waste too long
Trying to yank you out their pockets
When you're on your way to see
Hereditary misery

I don't wanna be stressed so I de-stressed
I shaved all my hair off in a form of meditation
I know the real reason but you know how it is
I could talk and talk forever but it's all about the mental mix
You walk along looking at your shoelaces and praying you don't have to stop if they Come undone
But you'll spend the same time falling over as you do tying them up so if I were you
I'd stop the fucking pigeon steps and start speeding up

Feeling down in the dumps well here you go take this pill don't worry it won't end up Curing you
I know I'm at the point where I'm jumbled up
But it's fun it's like a lucky dip
Best kind of trip
You can try and choose your path but they all have a similar flavour
Like a plasticky pick n' mix
Sit there with your selection showing it off
Big old toff
With it stuck in your teeth
I've got no sweets so fuck off

When will you run away?
You're walking in the same shoes your mum and daddy did
No, I can't waste too long
Trying to yank you out their pockets
When you're on your way to see
Hereditary misery

Oh I know you want to run away
'Cos you're getting on the same bus every day
Well you just gotta
Get off and see
That it's heading for
Misery

When will you run away?
You're walking in the same shoes your mum and daddy did
No, I can't waste too long
Trying to yank you out their pockets
When you're on your way to see
Hereditary misery
