Subhumans - Somebody's Mother lyrics

rate me

She sits here drinking

What does the fiction represent?

The TV Scandal

Can make her break out in a sweat

She watches it to make her feel part

Of something she never was

She sings a song

That her father whistled while he worked

It helps her relax

A mild depressant keeps her down

And she weeps smiling

The radio bleeds that happy sound

The music nullifies her fears

With words to that effect

She s happy now, she thinks

That really nothing could go wrong

All this waiting all for nothing

Routine living - Rooms to live in

Routine living - Merely wasting away

This life she's living

Is an extension of our guilt

The four-walled conscience

Imposed by those who never felt

The pain the tedious drudgery

Boredom (Relax!) - It s lonely

And it s not right

That this way of life should go on
