our daily dose of distractions : live in the living room by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

this one is for the bbc. probably the longest live in the living room song i've ever done. so it may need shrunk to get up here.

shrunk from 192kbp to 160 kbp

they're lying to our faces
they lie behind our backs
the one thing they won't tell us
are the facts
the give us soaps and bake offs
they give us song and dance
they give us what we're wanting
our daily dose of distraction
they're feeding us a line
they're pulling on our legs
our masters of deception
the lords of omission
they feed us down a tube
all flickering ones and noughts
we sit there hypnotised
by our daily dose of distractions
maybe there's a tunnel
with a light at the end
or maybe i'm just kidding
myself
well nothings gonna change
cos we don't know what's been happening
the bliss of ignorance
let's just watch five minutes of fame
they give us soaps and bake offs
they'll give us song and dance
they'll give us what we're wanting
our daily dose of distractions

our daily dose of distractions

Lots of people don,t like reality, I know people who turn off the news
Is that a line too? cause it,s all too much
They retreat into, for them, a safe zone
Where they cannot be touched

Cotton wool lives, all smiles and no bad words
Change is a dirty word, frightening, that has to be erased
A thing ingrained deep within, set in stone
And when confronted, violence erupts like a nasty secret


No change, No change ,No change
Or we,ll kick your head in
No change, No change,No change
We,re better together?

The air has been sucked from the room
And the same old same old has been restored
Let,s flick on the flat screen telly
And for fuck sake turn off that news



Apologies first of all, started typing a reply and this spilled out, obviously inspired by your by you tune, excellent stuff which explains how a lot of people feel.

Cheers John is good to know my song moves or touches anyone, I write my wee ditties for myself so it's a bonus if they touch anyone else.
