Swimming In The Mainstream

from vocation by lee christian

/

lyrics

yeah… I guess u could call this… some kind of public service announcement?

Chorus: Be careful not swallow when you’re swimming in the mainstream
Big business just takes the piss
Seems to me it ain’t clean
Like sewerage pipe pumped day and night
Polluting a beautiful lakeside scene
Be careful not swallow when you’re swimming in the mainstream

The mainstream
The lame stream
The better learn how to play the game scene
The pipe dream
The nice dream
The be sure to be seen in the right scene
The waiting game
The mating game
The be sure that they all know who you’re dating game
The brain drain
The tame lane
The same old fifty shades of lame train

Just ain’t nothing really new these days
Just revivals of stuff from the old days
Give it a new lick of paint because nowadays crime pays
And then put it on sale way past it’s sell by date

The buzzfeed
The disgust feed
The protest and detest cos I must feed
The new trend
find a new friend
The type u like cos they remind u of u, friend.
The facebook
The tracebook
The great to locate or make hate book
The media
They drip feed ya
The sow seeds and double speak to mislead ya

Well ain’t nothing really on the level these days
Cos they’ve always got a little bitty angle to play
Got to give it spin to make u see it their way
And then they turn around and u to pay

Well I know u think it’s all a big joke but did u ever stop to think the joke was on u, u big dope? Be sure to not leave your mouth open – cos you’re certain to catch a floater...
