Here are the lyrics for "The General Electric"<br />
Now you can sing - along like a proffessional<br />
<br />
MY MIND'S SEDATE<br />
<br />
I trust the police and the government<br />
suck down corporate sentiment<br />
home for dinner, watch TV<br />
caught in the middle of a shopping spree<br />
<br />
my minds sedate x8<br />
<br />
home entertainment and a boring car<br />
(my minds sedate)<br />
If I try to run, I wouldnt get that far<br />
(my minds sedate)<br />
extract the venom, spit it over the shoulder<br />
(my minds sedate)<br />
I'm a victim of a 'sally make-over'<br />
<br />
my minds sedate x8<br />
<br />
you cant run away<br />
if you dont have a brain<br />
deal with it<br />
<br />
It's alright...is it?<br />
<br />
I trust the police and the government<br />
suck down corporate sentiment<br />
home for dinner, watch TV<br />
caught in the middle of a shopping spree<br />
<br />
my minds sedate x8<br />
<br />
you cant run away<br />
if you dont have a brain<br />
deal with it<br />
<br />
you gotta deal with this<br />
my minds sedate<br />
<br />
THE GENERAL ELECTRIC<br />
<br />
You better run<br />
as fast as you can<br />
'cause this passenger's not a happy man<br />
start running just as fast as you can<br />
<br />
You say, you need a friend<br />
hey, well so do I<br />
but this passenger's just passing by<br />
passenger is just passing<br />
bye.<br />
<br />
At your age and stage<br />
you should understand<br />
but you don't care. you got a master plan<br />
fuck, fuck, fuck 'em all and take what you can<br />
<br />
A freezing cold stare<br />
and a flick in the eye<br />
passengers just passing by<br />
passengers just passing by<br />
passengers just passing by<br />
<br />
To walk on water you'd sink in the ice x4<br />
<br />
You're holding everything inside, you're holding everything inside x2<br />
Don't it feel good just to be alive still holding everything inside<br />
<br />
You don't know what you want<br />
so you take what you can<br />
still don't make you a happy man<br />
keep running just as fast as you can<br />
<br />
A freezing cold stare<br />
and a flick in the eye<br />
passengers just passing by<br />
passengers just passing by<br />
<br />
To walk on water you'd sink in the ice x2<br />
for all things gained there's a sacrifice<br />
to walk on water you gotta sink in the ice<br />
<br />
You're holding everything inside, you're holding everything inside x2<br />
and don't it feel good just to be alive,<br />
don't it feel good just to be alive<br />
you're still holding everything inside<br />
<br />
And you don't know what you want, do ya?<br />
know what you want?<br />
what you want?<br />
<br />
You're holding everything inside, you're holding everything inside x2<br />
[Youre still holding]<br />
Evrything inside x2<br />
<br />
WAIT AND SEE<br />
<br />
We could choose to disregard it<br />
or have some fun and break it<br />
since god has just departed<br />
we could carry on or fake it<br />
who has a better plan<br />
whats the true nature of man<br />
whats money to your soul<br />
watch as money takes control<br />
<br />
And is there space for every boy and girl<br />
in a competitive, material world<br />
I guess we'll have to wait and see<br />
and I'm trying too hard too believe<br />
<br />
Know when to draw the line<br />
know there's a grand design<br />
know there's a better way<br />
I dont know and cannot say<br />
when my respect for man<br />
has taken all it can<br />
the purchase of your soul<br />
placate and we have lost control x2<br />
<br />
Is it daddys little boys and girls<br />
become the acne on the face of the world<br />
I guess we'll have to wait and see<br />
and I'm trying too hard too believe<br />
<br />
We could choose to disregard it x2<br />
who has a better plan<br />
whats the true nature of man<br />
whats money to your soul<br />
watch as money takes control<br />
<br />
Is it daddys little boys and girls<br />
become the acne on the face of the world<br />
I guess we'll have to wait and see<br />
And is there space for every boy and girl<br />
in a competitive, material world<br />
I guess we'll have to wait and see<br />
and I'm trying too hard too believe<br />
<br />
PACIFIER<br />
<br />
You feeling good today<br />
cause I got told that you were<br />
smashed up on your own motorway<br />
but it's O.K<br />
the first upon the scene<br />
a life support machine<br />
but still collapse as if you were some accidental star<br />
<br />
Do you know what the time is<br />
is it messing with your mind kid<br />
are you hurting all the time<br />
and you need a pacifier<br />
come on, lets take a look outside<br />
<br />
Don't look so worried you know<br />
there ain't no hurry<br />
cause life's supposed to ebb and flow<br />
now you're all clear to go<br />
and when you're out there<br />
no, they can't catch you<br />
precious star, you are the best at what you are<br />
<br />
Do you know what the time is<br />
what's messing with your mind kid<br />
are you hurting all the time<br />
and you need a pacifier<br />
come on, lets take a look outside<br />
<br />
come on, lets take a look outside<br />
<br />
THIN WHITE LINE<br />
<br />
Running round, raising your hand<br />
we don't need reminding<br />
too much honky man<br />
must be the brain that you're not using<br />
waiting for an excuse to lose it<br />
you put the ice in paradise<br />
true blue and sick in the head<br />
<br />
The thin white line is such a waste of time<br />
The thin white line, take it from behind<br />
<br />
You're thinking that you're making a stand<br />
by pulling out the welcome mat from no mans land<br />
just don't forget where we come from honky<br />
we fucked the world just like you fucking a donkey<br />
new rules for animals<br />
red-neck? I'd rather be dead<br />
<br />
The thin white line is such a waste of time<br />
you don't speak for me<br />
don't even know what I see<br />
you're thinking's so, so slow<br />
<br />
And you don't know what you need to know<br />
I hope you do in time, then we'll be feeling fine<br />
do you know what I'm talking about?<br />
do ya?<br />
<br />
The thin white line is such a waste of time<br />
you don't speak for me<br />
don't even know what I see<br />
you think its so, so slow<br />
<br />
ONLY TIME<br />
<br />
Out on the search for something happening<br />
I lose where I begin<br />
now that something means nothing<br />
a gone man set lose upon the street<br />
moves on up to me<br />
and says with feeling...<br />
<br />
When you can't find the world<br />
you can only find yourself<br />
and you can't break away<br />
'til you find your own way<br />
but it takes time...<br />
<br />
Gone man, I'm searching for a scene<br />
for something to believe<br />
but you make no sense to me<br />
I've no time for words from an old man<br />
he says "get 'em while you can<br />
'cause life burns up and then it's gone"<br />
<br />
When you can't find the world<br />
you can only find yourself<br />
and you can't break away<br />
'til you find your own way<br />
surround yourself with love but nothing else<br />
then you can break away<br />
when you find your own way<br />
<br />
and it's only time...<br />
<br />
JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE<br />
<br />
Sometimes,<br />
feel at the edge of reason<br />
I get strung out<br />
feel like I'm going nowhere<br />
and then you wind me up<br />
just like you did before<br />
gotta thrill, gotta chill, gotta spill<br />
so I can rise again<br />
<br />
just like everybody else<br />
<br />
Sometimes,<br />
question mark? full-stop.<br />
this process is powerless<br />
there's no way to the top<br />
get fucked up just to fill me up<br />
or so I tell myself<br />
and this makes me wonder<br />
process to order<br />
<br />
Every now and then<br />
right place, right time<br />
get going with the flow of things<br />
and I'm feeling fine<br />
(it's alright)<br />
getting back to basics<br />
(ah ha)<br />
back to the common mind<br />
(it's alright)<br />
got a chance to rise above<br />
got a chance to be myself!<br />
(ah ha)<br />
<br />
just like everybody else<br />
<br />
SPORT AND RELIGION<br />
<br />
Hey all you people in the shiny cars<br />
who dug the trenches will reach the stars<br />
that's a funny program<br />
what's it show or tell<br />
if it's not what you're thinking<br />
then you can go to hell<br />
<br />
Or is it an illusion?<br />
is it an illusion?<br />
<br />
Sport and religion<br />
what a game<br />
you can call it progress<br />
but what's the aim?<br />
you can't fake the fantastic<br />
no more. no more<br />
we can't keep on hacking away<br />
when no one knows the score<br />
<br />
Or it's an illusion?<br />
is it an illusion?<br />
<br />
you've got to give to take away<br />
<br />
SPACING<br />
<br />
Well I'm sad but I'm not empty<br />
'cause today it's on the cards that I'm on the move<br />
and it's alright 'cause when I'm leaving<br />
my mind draws me a picture to keep of you<br />
<br />
Because I can get a little lonely once in a while<br />
because I can, I've become a victim of your smile<br />
because you know I can, I can make it back from all those miles<br />
<br />
I'm sore from a crash landing<br />
at least I made it back from my trip to the moon<br />
and it's alright 'cause when I'm spacing<br />
the thrill of anticipation gets me through<br />
I've gotta get to you<br />
<br />
Because I can get a little lonely once in a while<br />
because I can, I've become a victim of your smile<br />
<br />
Though it hurts sometimes, remember<br />
that the beauty lies in everything you do<br />
and it's alright i know you don't believe in love<br />
but i believe in you<br />
Oh yes i do, yes i do<br />
<br />
it's alright 'cause when I'm spacing<br />
the thrill of anticipation gets me through<br />
I've gotta get to you<br />
<br />
Though it hurts sometimes, remember<br />
that the beauty lies in everything you do<br />
and it's alright i know you don't believe in love<br />
but i believe in you<br />
yes i do, yes i do, oh yes i do, yes i do<br />
<br />
THE METAL SONG<br />
<br />
Sometimes I burn like a paper dog<br />
but mostly, the thing I like doing is doing nothing at all<br />
you're right, I'm going nowhere<br />
I've got nowhere to go<br />
and super-colour nightmare's got something of a hold<br />
<br />
So we're slaves of destiny now, are we?<br />
and it's always such an effort to believe<br />
in what you want to be<br />
believe in what you want to be<br />
<br />
I take a leather pouch when I go out<br />
there's no money in it<br />
but boredom hits where it most counts<br />
I've had my limit<br />
well we will rise again and boredom ain't my freind<br />
<br />
Don't turn your back. don't you be no slack jack. don't turn your back. x2<br />
<br />
So we're slaves of destiny now, are we?<br />
thats why it's gonna be such an effot to see...<br />
that in a young country<br />
we're free to be what we want to be<br />
gotta ditch the distractions to create a reaction<br />
<br />
Don't turn your back. don't you be no slack jack. don't turn your back. x4<br />
<br />
so we're slaves of destiny now are we?<br />
and it's always such an effort to believe<br />
in what you want to be<br />
believe in what you want to be<br />
<br />
LIFE IN CARS<br />
<br />
Redefine your parameters<br />
accelerate the shit you can give<br />
your machine, your best friend<br />
life in cars<br />
<br />
And in a world of your own<br />
licence to leave you alone<br />
does tin can = a happy man?<br />
life in cars<br />
<br />
Start it up.<br />
we're just along for the ride<br />
how come you shaking inside?<br />
we're just along for the ride<br />
<br />
no one'll find out where you live<br />
(life in cars)<br />
you're like a cat with a honk for a hiss<br />
(life in cars)<br />
your machine, your best friend<br />
(life in cars)<br />
<br />
And in a world of your own<br />
(life in cars)<br />
your licence to leave you alone<br />
(life in cars)<br />
does tin can = a happy man?<br />
(life in cars)<br />
<br />
Start it up.<br />
we're just along for the ride<br />
how come you shaking inside?<br />
we're just along for the ride<br />
<br />
When you're caught in a jam<br />
shoulda stayed in bed<br />
excessive speed is screwing with my head<br />
short click in time was all he said<br />
just slow down, gonna wind up dead<br />
slow down, gonna wind up dead!!!<br />
<br />
Redefine your parameters<br />
accelerate the shit you can give<br />
does tin can = a happy man?<br />
<br />
Thank your lucky stars for a life in cars<br />
<br />
BRIGHTEST STAR<br />
<br />
When you go against the grain<br />
do you know just how beautiful you are<br />
when there's nothing left to say<br />
you're the brightest star<br />
<br />
When there's nothing left to say<br />
do you know just how beautiful you are<br />
when you go against the grain<br />
you're the brightest star<br />
<br />
When you go against the grain<br />
do you know just how beautiful you are<br />
when there's nothing left to say<br />
you're the brightest star<br />
<br />
We're like the water at the edge of a wave<br />
that gets left upon the shore<br />
dissapears into the sand<br />
and was seen no more<br />
