Lyrics
The capitalist traders are taunting my neighbours
For wanting to savour a predictable life
They say you must innovate dear
We just cannot wait dear
For old fashioned ideas
To wither and die
They say, if you bite down hard you might get paid
They say, if you fill the slack, you might be saved
Our culture is hollow
Mephistopheles followers
Trading our spirit for a wandering eye
We only see wages and desperate cages
We don’t want a limit
We want an infinite life
Alienation is the role we play
Dislocation is the stock we trade
Anomie is my name
I have an insatiable nature
The winds must always change
So there are no values left to nurture
I have an insatiable nature
There are no values left to nurture
We’re still making our minds up
We’re not ready to sign up
To anything to formal
We don’t want to be tied
Like the woman at the well
There’s a thirst we can’t quell
We’re normless and gormless
We’re turning to crime
Alienation is the price we pay
Dislocation is the stock we trade
Anomie is my name
I have an insatiable nature
The winds must always change
So there are no values left to nurture
Anomie is my name
I am free from regulation
If there’s one thing that I crave
It’s an infinite horizon
If there’s one thing that I crave
It’s an infinite horizon
This modern life, this modern life, this modern life
Will make you tired
This modern life, this modern life, this modern life
Will break your spine
This modern life, this modern life, this modern life
Will make you sigh
