lyrics

It's all started by the smallest little pencil prick which decides shit
Puts a space between good and evil and that's it
I can't dePsypher the logic
Yet it's obvious when it's put in print
Wish I had that simplistic look
Must be hard going home to comfort and kids and partner and leafy existence
When that shit is out there inflicting itself on the place you call home
The morals you espouse, the work ethic you preach
How hard is it?
I got a licence to sell shit
I get paid to know dick then spout it in print
My words appoint, placate, disguise, evict
Surmise, revise, apply, contradict
I serve it up, you swallow it
If you can imagine my background for a minute
Being raised and living out my existence with my partner, my kids, my wine cellar

The pen is the needle of the fabric of society
And fuck me if there in't some holes in it
Call me the seamstress of propriety
Helping us all get to sleep at night
