lyrics

Bleached teeth, cheap plastic sleek
Can’t stop your eyes from screaming defeat.
Fat-free, TV, diluted to a product of industry
Safe, clean, pet routine
Tasteless, faceless Pleistocene Queen
In your plexi-glazed shopping cage
In a gridlocked maze of redecorated rage.

Tranquilised by culture
Cauterised with sugar
Dressed up tight in Polythene
Standardised buying machine.

Blind, deaf, dumb but able
To keep a glass Palace stable
With your credit card fate, recycled bite-sized hates
Rely on the ideals that the adverts create.
Young, white, obedient and healthy
Passive, guilty and materially wealthy
Devoted fears of being small
Make you scared to reach further just in case you fall.

Sterilised autonomy
Civilised like Barbie
Victimise for comfort
Sense of love when you’re buying and lying to yourself.

Your shelf life has dated
Saccharified your last breath
Fossilise in your packaging
Plasticised Dark Age
