Real Life Nightmare

from Fake News by lee christian

lyrics

life's one big grey area
it's never been a picnic but shit's getting scarier.

when are we gonna get where we're going?
when are supposed to find out what's worth knowing?
there's ain't no denying, the tension's growing
and there ain't no fight worth throwing
(don't throw it away!)

after every face has been on every mag
after every gayly coloured plastic bag
well what will our kids think of their moms and dads?
when they realise it was us who let it get this bad
everyone's for real or crap and no one gets a second chance.

(all this fucked up reality - killing off the dreamer in me)
(can't close my eyes when i go to sleep - real life nightmares all i see)

too old for computers
too young for thatcher
too stupid to cheat more
too smart to be a shelf stacker
fighting the power to give peace a chance
shaking our shit to the same war dance

and the reds don't trust the blues
and the blacks don't trust the whites
and i don't trust nobody
as far as line of sight
and that suits me just fine
because there's a much bigger fight
and it's all over primetime tonight
so are you gonna tune in?
are you gonna turn on?
and switch off your mind.
