Citizen Fish - Popsongs lyrics

You'll never make the charts - charts - if you sing about repression Cos pretending to be in control - in control - is a national obsession Even when the self-control is let loose as aggression - aggression "Oh you know he doesn't mean it man","It's is natural expression" "It's is natural expression" Some say the constant hammering is following the beat And popsongs heard to pa** the time will break up the routine In some hazy day pre-radio you'd hear the hammers sing Now they shout above the popsongs, go unnoticed and give in Go unnoticed and give in It claims to break up the routine, become a part of it - part of hit But no signs of improvement in the way the hammers hit You see the way the workers act when the chains relax a bit Does it indicate their mental state as happy clean and fit? Happy clean and fit? After daylong happy tunes its prime reaction time Blob out horizontal to the spectacle sublime Replacing conversation space with pleasantries that rhyme Have a good weekend folks, just make sure you're back by nine Just make sure you're back by nine So when the batteries went flat - flat - and the D.J. went off air The atmosphere in the factory made everyone aware They'd been replacing interaction with dependency on sound So when the popsongs came back on they turned the whole thing down So when the popsongs came back on they turned the whole thing down
