Houseplants

Kids are gettin' smarter but the brain ain't gettin' cheaper

Zeitgeist operation and the skin is gettin' pinker

Houseplants in my future, houseplants in the skies

There's a rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes

Rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes

Houseplants, houseplants

We speak about our days, yeah, we speak about a raise

Everybody's bored, we're just too afraid to say

Houseplants in my future, houseplants in the skies

There's a rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes

Rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes

Rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes

Ooh

Houseplants, houseplants

Houseplants, houseplants

Houseplants, houseplants

Kids are gettin' smarter but the brain ain't gettin' cheaper

Zeitgeist operation and the skin is gettin' pinker

Houseplants, houseplants

We speak about our days, yeah, we speak about a raise

Everybody's bored, we're just too afraid to say

Houseplants, houseplants

We squeeze it at night, oh, we squeeze it so tight

We squeeze it at night and it's gettin' so tight

Houseplants, houseplants

Gardens ain't a saviour, decoration ain't behavior

Gardens ain't a saviour, decoration ain't behavior

Gardens ain't a saviour, decoration ain't behavior

Gardens ain't a saviour, gardens ain't a saviour

Gardens ain't a saviour, oh, gardens ain't a saviour

Gardens ain't a saviour, gardens ain't a saviour

Gardens ain't a saviour, gardens ain't a saviour

Houseplants, houseplants

Houseplants, houseplants

Houseplants, houseplants

Houseplants

Houseplants

And I've spent my time lookin' for a future that doesn't exist

This is my beautiful house and I can't afford to live in it

Money for the baxtoral, 1970's, walking till in it

Children's television, we're still making plans for Nigel

Middle England, general conversation in a sympathetic tone

Chimps are being killed with your other hand

This is how the other half live, green fingers, my friends are through me

Career driven, guided by oxygen, or maybe I'm just lazy
