lyrics
Gay definitions, enthralling inaccuracy
Grey propositions of hope and felicity
Fake inquisitions divorced from reality
Take your positions and then call them eternity
What can you do when it's all a commodity
Nothing is true in the jaws of insanity
Welcoming you to the bowels of conformity
Shitting you through the historical lavatory
Turn out the lights
Open the curtains
Dirty daylight just filtering in
Go and do useful things
Go and do useful things
Go and do useful things
You win.
No I said it you win.
Organised government, truth and democracy
Binding the firmament we all call society
No room for argument, that would mean anarchy
With as a consequent rape and brutality
What can be said when you're hamstrung semantically
Here in my head with my own private dictionary
Leaving unread all my meaningless poetry
When I am dead it will all die too along with me
Chorus
Instrumental verse
Chorus.

Go and do useful things
Go and do useful things
Go and do useful things
