Reality Whitewash
4
The grey man at the wheel
5
Looks around to see if there's some skirt he can steal
6
He doesn't really want to, he's just acting out a game
7
In their own fucked up way, most people do the same
8
She cleans the bathroom mirror
9
So she can line her eyes
10
An expert in delusion, an artist in disguise
11
She's not content with what she is, but she does the best she can
12
Doesn't do it for herself, she does it for her man
13
And meanwhile he's out hunting, this master of the hunt
14
Cruising down the high street in his endless search for cunt
15
And the posters on the hoardings encourage his pursuit
16
Glossy ads, where men are men, and women simply cute
17
And the men are in their motorcars and the men have nerves of steel
18
And they dreams of Charlies Angels as they firmly grip the wheel
19
And they fantasise they're screwing in the back seat of the car
20
Fantasise they're fucking with a real life movie star
21
Fantasies to fill the gaps, to fill in every crack
22
A whitewash on reality to hide the truth they lack
23
Now she's sponging down the cooker, on the surface all is fine
24
His dinner's in the oven cos he's doing overtime
25
She switches on the telly, it makes her feel secure
26
Helps confirm her way of life, who needs to ask for more
27
She sees the happy family unit, wife and hubby on the screen
28
The perfect social unit, just like it's always been
29
She's done the very best she can
30
To love and honour and obey her man
31
And if she should ever doubt the wisdom of her choice
32
She can turn on the television for its moderating voice
33
The ads and weekly series are the proof she needs
34
That a life of boredom outweighs the deeds
35
She sits up till the epilogue and goes to bed alone
36
Content that when he's finished work he'll go straight home
37
Meanwhile he has another scotch, the lady has a coke
38
If he's asked about the wife he treats it as a joke
39
"Hear the one about the you-know-what"
40
He's got what it takes and he takes what he's got
41
He took his woman and he'll take plenty more
42
She took on a rat to keep the wolf from the door
43
Then maybe in her loneliness she'll want to have a child
44
Who'll be taught the games of adulthood, boxed and filed
45
Another life to whitewash, to us a child is born
46
To follow in its parents' tracks, the path's well worn
47
Fantasy and falsehood, truth and lie
48
The fucked up system they call reality
49
They system needs its servants, each birth is one more
50
Gently talk of freedom as they quietly lock the door
51
Cos the system needs its servants if the system's going to run
52
Fodder for the workhouse, targets for the gun
