Why does nobody do anything? Why does nobody do anything? Live for the weekend Watch TV Live for the weekend Watch TV Out on the town for the weekend Watch TV Watch TV Why does nobody do anything? Why does nobody do anything? Escape into your escapism Get lost in your escapism Trust in your escapism Get trapped into escapism Escape from your escapism Escape from your self made prison Escape the acceptance that's arisen Why does nobody do anything? Why does nobody do anything? We're Drones Robotics Clones on antibiotics Zoned hypnotic Habitually ****** Artificially exotic Why does nobody do anything? Why does nobody do anything? You're watching your *** life on Tv A package holiday - pretend to be free Post on Facebook how life should be Focus your kids on getting a C Lurching towards you - Hollow eyes Pale Gaunt - Fed on lies In systems that we all despise Because you sat at home on your own Or In a pub over grub Or on a phone having a moan Or a coffee shop pontificating Or a lecture cleverly debating Or an artists studio 'creating' But you didn't ******* do anything did you? You thought about it You talked about it You sat and maybe wrote about it But you actually DID nought about it Why does nobody do anything? Why does nobody do anything? What if we in our liberal pomposity Followed up our curiosity And put an end to a small atrocity Instead of deliberating the big ones Stop ******* telling people they're wrong and get off your **** and prove it. Do something.
