lyrics

True words don't make the best for you
20 years of schooling and they put you on the dole queue...

True words are spoken by a small demographic
But it's not true words that are problematic
It's in the interest of human nature
To breed like fucking flies
So how are you earning a living in this current economic climate
When you haven't really tried yet
I find myself thinking more often than not
The cards that you're dealt are the cards that you've got
And that life is unfortunate in that way
But poker analogies are unfair
And they say; look at the beast! see how he treats
His equals, his lessers, his betters, at least
We're not shitting in a hole in the ground
Or scratching around in the dirt

Now the dirt's paved over and in wildlife enclosures called cities
Roams a new kind of beast
Watch how he feeds, don't tap on the glass please
Given half a chance he'll take your legs off at the knees
Through an arduous and complex bureaucratic process
Approved by their government as progress
By the time you fill the forms to contest
They've taken everything else right on up to your neck

True words don't make the best for you
20 years of schooling and they put you on the dole queue
Tell me son what are you gonna do
I tell you now I just wanna earn me some truth
But it's hard to do...
Truth don't buy bread & you can't take it home to bed with you
