lyrics

7. Malansky

The morning wakes me slate grey
I can't bring myself to face another day
On the floor the remains of last night’s Chinese take-away
Lying next to an empty bottle of booze

My mouth feels like a two week old pizza
And my head rings like a rusty cracked cemetery bell
But the worst thing is this feeling of deep grinding regret
At all the things I've done and the things that I might do yet

I've my own private hell
In their corporate shell
Believing fortune and fame were my aim
Now I've seen through the lies
Finally opened my eyes
I can't live with this shame

Now when I hear genetic mechanics
Or that phrase Purity Dynamics
I need to close my eyes before I scream this is murder
What have I done to that woman
And her cute little daughter
Is this me or the monster that I have become

All these lies and the pretence
Of the Corporation's defence
That go on behind the shining clean walls
The Benefactors pull all the strings
They and all their corporate underlings
In shiny suits and shiny shoes stomp over everything

And all the well-heeled of all nations
Are lining up to grab at their salvation
Cut out from the bodies of ordinary people
When all around the world is going to hell
Why do we let the selfish ring the bell
And climb to the top of their heap of corruption

And that ambitious bitch of a colleague of mine
She doesn't seem to care about anyone
Or anything that gets in her way
These are people with lives and feelings
They are not steps on her shining ladder
The only thing she cares about is herself

This had got to end, I have to stop it all
Swallow my pride and take the fall
Try to find some way to make amends
For all these things I've done
It’s got to stop now
This has all got to end
