Nineteen Eighty Bore lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Nineteen Eighty Bore lyrics Who needs lobotomy when we ve got the ITV Who needs ECT when there s good old BBC? Switch on the set, light up the screen Fantasise and dream about what you might have been Who needs controlling when they ve got the cathode ray They ve got your fucking soul, now they ll fuse your brains away Mindless fucking morons sit before the set Being fed the mindless rubbish they deserve to get Can t switch off big brother, they ve lost all will to act Lost in drab confusion, was it fiction, was it fact? Another plastic bullet stuns another Irish child But no-one s really bothered, no, the telly keeps them mild They ve lost all sense of feeling to the every hungry glow Drained of any substance by the vicious telly blow No longer know what s real or ain t, slowly going blind They stare into the goggle box while the world goes by, behind The Angels are on T.V. tonight, grey puke fucking shit They army occupy Ireland, but the boot will never fit Was it Coronation Street?  Or was it Londonderry? Oh it doesn t fucking matter, Paul Daniels ll keep us merry Yes, I ve heard of Bobby Sands, wasn t it Emmerdale Farm? Yes, that s right, he was kicked by a cow I hope it didn t do him no harm And wasn t the Holocaust terrible, good thing it wasn t for real Of course I ve heard of H-Block, it s the baccy with man appeal Deeper and deeper and deeper, layer upon layer Illusion, confusion, is there anyone left who can care? Yes, the Abbey National cares for you Nat West, and Securicor Well brings out the Branston bren-guns Let s spice it up some more The Sweeney are cruising Brixton, created another Belfast And J.R. s advising Thatcher on lighting, make up and cast A thousand camera lenses point at the people s pain As millions of mindless morons watch the action replay again Action replay again Softly, softly, into your life, you re held in it s brilliant glow Softly, softly, feeding itself on the you you ll never know You re life s reduced to nothing, but an empty media game Big Brother ain t watching you mate, you re fucking watching him song lyrics
