anarchist light bulb changer

I'm an anarchist lightbulb changer
and i've never been much of a danger
but i can't see
what you're doing to ever
try and change anything at all

i'm a little but tired and jaded
my energy seems all faded
and i feel myself just slippin' away
still wishing i was understated

ch)

shake my hand and look your best
try to pass your own intelligence test
never accept anything less
than status, aspiration &
a meaningless death

i'm a scruffy little pillock from Luton
a rooting tooting toothless mess
slipping through faceless system
a blissed out dish of nothing you'd like
tired of pissing it all away

too early for deathbed confessions
never make any concessions
and i fell through the cracks
of the pavement of hope
i wished i'd smoked
a little bit of what you're on

ch)

shake my hand and look your best
try to pass your own intelligence test
never accept anything less
than status, aspiration &
a meaningless death

i'm having trouble understanding
what you're watching
on those silly little
toys you like so much
it makes me feel outside the game
feeling happy that i'm so very out of touch

i'm an amputee giving directions
to nowhere in particular
theres a punchline to the story
and there's little point
in any of it at all

ch)

shake my hand and look your best
try to pass your own intelligence test
never accept anything less
than status, aspiration &
a meaningless death
