every day  /  I don't know
any more  /  than the day before
every year  /  I don't grow
I'm still as small  /  as the year before


(fail to learn, learn to fail)
listen children,
your parents let you down
your teachers let you down
the government lets you drown


switch your bloody phone off
hands away from your face
your bed's in disarray


every week  /  I consume
too much bad news  /  too much american food


(fail to learn, learn to fail)
listen children,
your parents let you down
your teachers let you down
the government lets you drown


switch your bloody phone off
hands away from your face
pull your curtains open
your bed's in disarray
and every city street
is an open vein
every country lane
is an open vein
is an open vein


every night  /  matt can't sleep
his mind ignores  /  his body's urgent call
