aa   they've put a micro-chip in my place, I hide behind
 aaaaaa  screen of agression   nowadays it's just  a way  of
aa   aa  saving  some   face,    so   now   I'm  permanently
 aaaa aa drunk  like the  rest   of  the race  with  leisure
if you  think I'm clowning  I assure you  that I'm  drowning
here  in leisure  they   taught  me  how  to  work but  they
can't  teach me  how  to shirk correctly.   I spend all  day
and all  my  allowance on t.v.  games   --- amusement heaven
at  the flick of a  switch.  instead of a lathe  I busy   my
fingers  nowadays  by scoring   goals   with  the   gentlest
twitch. I've  forgotten how  to  use  my  legs to invade the
pitch  leisure if   you think I'm   clowning I  assure   you
that  I'm  drowning here in leisure they  taught me how   to
work but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly.
they had retired me 'fore I  left school (just  saw no point
in the standing in line) so I  spend lots  of  time lounging
at home (why  not  come in 'cos   the carpet is  fine)  what
a waste of breath it  is searching for  the jobs that  don't
exist. so  now  I'm permanently   drunk  like  the  rest  of
the  race  with   leisure if you    think  I'm  clowning   I
assure you  that I'm drowning here in   leisure they  taught
me how to  work  but   they can't  teach   me how  to  shirk
correctly.
