1981
You're told that love is an abattoir
When asked you say "it's okay, I'm fine" in
Lugubrious lullaby, stains on white with red wine
A compulsive bibliophile
Smile and say you're afraid to go outside
Allusions to self-diagnosis of loneliness
Serene, no dignity, poisonous magazines
Various drama queens, ghost autobiographies
No sleep, loud secrecy, drag out your modesty
biased democracy, casual hipocrisy
We all got self-centred minds and socializing's bravery
Celebrate your clerisy and condone modern slavery
Laugh at all the insults, and call yourself a joke
Then Blame it on the caffeine and the cigarette smoke
You're told to care what others think
That's the first rule of society
Express yourself with a heavy sigh
A connoisseur of social anxiety
Serene, no dignity, poisonous magazines
Various drama queens, ghost autobiographies
No sleep, loud secrecy, drag out your modesty,
Biased democracy, casual hypocrisy
We all got self-centred minds and socializing's bravery
Celebrate your clerisy and condone modern slavery
Laugh at all the insults, and call yourself a joke
Then Blame it on the caffeine and the cigarette smoke
Offend someone's mother, tell everyone you're broke
Then blame it on the caffeine and the cigarette smoke
When asked you say "it's okay, I'm fine" in
Lugubrious lullaby, stains on white with red wine
A compulsive bibliophile
Smile and say you're afraid to go outside
Allusions to self-diagnosis of loneliness
Serene, no dignity, poisonous magazines
Various drama queens, ghost autobiographies
No sleep, loud secrecy, drag out your modesty
biased democracy, casual hipocrisy
We all got self-centred minds and socializing's bravery
Celebrate your clerisy and condone modern slavery
Laugh at all the insults, and call yourself a joke
Then Blame it on the caffeine and the cigarette smoke
You're told to care what others think
That's the first rule of society
Express yourself with a heavy sigh
A connoisseur of social anxiety
Serene, no dignity, poisonous magazines
Various drama queens, ghost autobiographies
No sleep, loud secrecy, drag out your modesty,
Biased democracy, casual hypocrisy
We all got self-centred minds and socializing's bravery
Celebrate your clerisy and condone modern slavery
Laugh at all the insults, and call yourself a joke
Then Blame it on the caffeine and the cigarette smoke
Offend someone's mother, tell everyone you're broke
Then blame it on the caffeine and the cigarette smoke
