Life in a post - industrial Northern waste
Anti - depressants help us face our fate
Soap operas​ more important than real life
They offer resolutions and they excite
Unlike unending poverty
Where there are no neat endings
Wrote off by a government that just doesn't care
******* by corporations who want their share
What can you be but a nihilist?
What can you do but get drugged or ******?
I really wish I had a solution
The only one I know is Revolution
But, of course that will never come
We are kept isolated, sedated and dumb
Back to soap operas​ and anti- depressants again
Cheap off- licenses​ and drug dens
Anything to keep us sweetened and beaten
Life itself is bought, sold and cheapened
I really hate to sound so depressed
But I think that the working class is ****** at best
