lyrics

Tick tack clackity clack
Round and around in the front & the back
Got the big box stores ringing the town
Dead pubs all closing down
Change is constant
Metamorphosis
Some might even call it progress

Can’t you see it shining?
Can’t you see it spin?
The chrysalis
Begins to swing
Out in the cold dry wind where we’re
Building our own prison - Building our own prison

On the white man’s reservation
Waiting for the bell to ring
Little pops of pleasure
Look at all these wonderful things
In a final act, of compliance
I’ll nail my shopping list
To the temple door

Get back in my car
And keep on driving
Back and fore, for evermore

Cheap gas, my arse democracy is dead at last
