lyrics

I’m depressed about the press, too cloudy eyed to read
I’m sitting in a stupor, too idle to even bleed
Half the land half dead on an opiate drug
The other half have to laugh at the one-eyed bug

They go ha, ha, ha, ha

A water hole swings tragic to the fuzz of a dead guitar
Piano’s broken teeth chews glasses at the bar
I think of a drink and watch all the white skin turn green
In the corner that was mine, a boy that fucks the slot machine

Murdered by boredom, frozen by degrees
You’ve got the first symptom, of the English disease

Another soul in torment with another tale to sell
They’re up the creek of no return, there’s no days up in hell
Another weak solution, too thin to even stick
It makes you think, it makes you sad, but it just makes me sick!

And stories just bore me so send me no more books
Give me something I can use and hang up on a hook
I think I’ve got a sex plague, it’s too late to scrub my genes 
Incurable, insufferable, I’m somewhere in between

Murdered by boredom, frozen by degrees
You’ve got the first symptom, of the English disease

Now my dreams have all come true, what is there left for me to do?
