I lost more than cassettes in that auto accident
Hand-outs got you this far, now you're pocket money's nearly spent
You're not the one track mind you look
You're not unkind but you do things by the book
You're never gonna hear them call
While you're standing back sending postmen to the wall
You're lost at sea, your legs stuck in a blue-green treacle
In a blue-green treacle
So everything is broke
I'm okay with it
Everything is broke
I'm okay with it
Everything is broke
I'm okay with it
Everything is broke
I'm okay with it
"Okay guys break it down
This mic's not workin' properly
When I was four...I walked in on my momma,
One Sunday evening and you know what I saw?”
“What'd ya see!?”
“I saw her legs akimbo, being fucked by THE MAN
That's not easy on the eyes when you're four
They say I like who I like, found out my life was broken
Everything in life is broken"
Not for the first time she insisted on the driver's seat
It must have been the insects that were nibbling at his feet
You're not the one track mind you look
You're not the pawn I originally mistook
Your rhetoric suggests you stand so tall
But mister speaker all you ever do is crawl
You know you're lost at sea, your legs stuck in a blue-green treacle
In a blue-green treacle
So everything is broke
I'm okay with it
Everything is broke
I'm okay with it
My mother is a soak
I'm okay with it
My daddy's doing coke
I'm okay with it
I don't sing I croak
I'm okay with it
