Lyrics

[Intro]
Fitter, happier, more productive
Comfortable, not drinking too much
Regular exercise at the gym, three days a week
Getting along better with your associate employee contemporaries
[Verse 1]
At ease, eating well
No more microwave dinners and saturated fats
A patient, better driver
A safer car, baby smiling in back seat
[Verse 2]
Sleeping well, no bad dreams
No paranoia
Careful to all animals, never washing spiders down the plughole
Keep in contact with old friends
[Verse 3]
Enjoy a drink now and then
Will frequently check credit at moral bank, hole in wall
Favors for favors, fond but not in love
Charity standing orders, on Sundays ring road supermarket
[Verse 4]
No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants
Car wash also on Sundays
No longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
Nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate
Nothing so childish
[Verse 5]
At a better pace, slower and more calculated
No chance of escape
Now self-employed, concerned but powerless
An empowered and informed member of society
[Verse 6]
Pragmatism, not idealism
Will not cry in public
Less chance of illness
Tires that grip in the wet
[Verse 7]
Shot of baby strapped in backseat
A good memory
Still cries at a good film
Still kisses with saliva
[Verse 8]
No longer empty and frantic
Like a cat, tied to a stick
That's driven into frozen winter shit
The ability to laugh at weakness
[Outro]
Calm, fitter, healthier, and more productive
A pig in a cage on antibiotics
