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