SCUMMY LIFE

Swarming all around
Don’t got no hometown
Turmoil, turmoil, turmoil –
Which way is up?

I got my moral scale;
So do those in jail –
Justice, justice, justice –
Which way is right?

I read a lot of lines
Trying to define life
Theories, theories, theories,
Which one is mine?

I feel like a sperm cell, lost in a prophylactic.
I feel like a sperm cell, lost in a prophylactic.

Soon I’m going to be dead.

I think about my name
I think about my face
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Is this really me?

I think about a womb
I think about my doom –
Silence, Silence, Silence
Are they the same?

Was I ever born?
Don’t know anymore
Grow up, grow up, grow up –
Wonder who’s mature?

(Freak out part)

Who has put that rubber there? Where’s that boundary, where is it, where?
Who has spewed us in this world and hidden the secrets away
So we stay
Helpless …..

Want to eat some food
Nothing’s any good!
Plastic, plastic, plastic –
What is real?

Do we have a past?
Who am I to ask?
History, history, history
Where is the future?

Such a universe
We’re stuck here on Earth
Warfare, warfare, warfare –
Is it ours to burn?

I feel like a sperm cell, lost in a prophylactic.
I feel like a sperm cell, lost in a prophylactic.
Soon I’m going to be dead.

It’s a scummy life.
