Morning Parade - Culture Vulture lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Numbers turn to money, ain't it funny how it built

To spend the whole of our lives running on the crunch and on assumption

There's reason in repeating rhymes and throwing keys and swapping wives

As long as it's within the privacy of our own private lives

Stuck with no direction seeking everyone's attention

Or for his or her's affection, fall out of cover and collection

No Viagra, no erection, no insurance, no protection

And no cure and no prevention, did you ever think to mention?

The smaller house the smaller town where [?] does the rounds

Giant fish in tiny ponds with nothings really going on

And everyone knows everyone and everybody's 'goings on'

And everyone wants everyone to try to fuck to get along

A.n.x.i.e.t.y.

(Verse)

The booze will cut you loose if even for a day or two or three

Or four or five or six or ten,

You'll never be the same again

And people won't remember you

Your children and your children's dues

We'll hope in gods

And place to dig the hole for their remains

A.n.x.i.e.t.y.

(Chorus)

Do I feel so lame and so uptight?

A.n.x.i.e.t.y.

Do I feel you so lame and so uptight?

I hope I sleep tonight

(Verse)

So then you change the channel, turn the cheek and look the other way

Your life now on hiatus, checks the status of your friend's new status

Tell them all about those bangs

Tell them all, and to be frank, tell them all those people died

Let's see what's on the other side

And no one cares cause no one minds

Cause everybody's filled their time with everything that's going on

And on and on and on and on

And on until the end of times

We're gonna define what's mine

Growing up and getting older

Just another culture vulture
