about

It's about being annoyed

lyrics

Make a demon
To believe in
A whipping boy for the notions you believe

Scream for safety
Anxiety
A substitute for personality

Indignation
Aberration
Kiss the ground for the penance you receive

Never question,
Make suggestions
And don’t forget
You only really need
What you’re told you really you need

There’s no sense in
Arguing
There’s no shaking what people must believe
Culture blinds and
Culture binds
It’s all so clear once you’ve been trained to see

Worse than perfect
Hubris unchecked
Must be nice to exist in purity

Spot the specks and
Never mention
The log in yours
Cos you only really see
What you’re told you need to see

What’s the use?
