Subhumans - Susan lyrics

rate me

Susan finished school at 16

Wants to be a secretary

2 years later she's got nowhere

Ends up in a factory

Making matches it's so boring

She gets sad and so depressed

Hears her doctor smugly tell her

"Take these pills and get some rest"

But she takes it one step further

Parents rescue her in time

Smile and tell her "When you're married

Everything will be just fine"

She recovers and gets married further shuts the closing door

Though he says "I really love you"

She feels worse off than before

9 months later she's a mother

It's a bouncing baby boy

"Oh how super!" say her parents But for her there is no joy

Words like mummy don't mean nothing

It's all she hears from 9 to 5

All alone at number 19

Every single day she dies

19 years of hollow cliche

Now she wants to end it all

Bored to death from doing nothing

Family drives her up the wall

Swinging Susan hanged herself

She couldn't live her pointless life

He comes home to see through tears

The rigid corpse that was his wife

The life and times of Susan Strange

Ended in that tragic way

With the money from insurance

The family went on holiday

Nothing left but rotting flowers

On an unattended grave

The epitaph has faded badly

No one reads it anyway
