Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I drink and watch the zoo in motion
Beautiful people devoid of emotion
Sterilized, pedicured, pedigrees of mankind
Thick as fuck and soulless
I no longer fear genocide
It's gonna end from what I reckon
As I puke my guts up all over the decking
'Cause the square reeks
Of plastic Action Men and pound-shop Kardashians
[Verse 2]
How am I supposed to change it
If I can't see the wood for the trees?
How am I supposed to change it
If I can't see the wood for the trees?
[Verse 3]
There’s an orange-faced baby
At the wheel of the ship
Doin' donuts in the car-park
We watch as it all falls apart
We idolize idiots
Masturbate to their sex-tapes
We love them, we hate them
We want to see them fall from grace
We laugh at them disheveled
On the front page of the Mail
Then grab ourselves a pitchfork
And go in for the kill
Together light vigils
Eulogize them on the Internet
When they top themselves
When they couldn’t take it no more
[Verse 4]
How am I supposed to change it
If I can't see the wood for the trees?
How am I supposed to change it
If I can't see the wood for the trees?
[Verse 5]
And how are we supposed to change it
When we can’t see the wood for the trees, yeah
When we can’t see the wood for the trees, yeah
If we can’t see the wood for the trees, yeah?
