Graham Parker & The Rumour - Empty Lives lyrics

I'm just a tick in a box on a questionnaire another moment that flashes into nowhere a brand name on a pill that get's you there I'm getting nothing and expecting oblivion the past aint even worth livin' in its just a nail that keeps being driven in I'm cold-blooded and completely relaxed I'm breaking legs and avoiding the facts on the up escalator going down all the cracks yeah You are the dummies of another frightened nation I am a candidate for elevation but when i woke up this morning I'd lost sensation all sensation So get them Get him But don't get me uhuh Can't hear Your cries So don't get me to fill up your empty lives Empty lives Your empty lives Empty lives Be obedient, there is no escape Forms to fill, time to k**, love d**h and rape, Sleep baby sleep, don't let nothing awaken you - Don't look for tomorrow, it's given you the slip that's all contained on a silicon chip, I'm losing shape for the eighties feeling everybody's grip slip everybody's grip slip So get them Get him But don't get me uhuh Can't hear Your cries So don't get me to fill up your empty lives Empty lives Just there waiting to be filled with someone else's stronger will Just can't reason to survive With empty Empty You got the empty, empty You got the empty, empty Empty lives Bring me water, bring me c**aine Bring me something lethal, something that leaves a stain But please don't make me feel that emptiness again Feel that emptyness again So get them Get him But don't get me uhuh Get fat - it's your size - But don't get me to fill up your empty Don't get me to fill up your empty Don't get me to fill up your empty lives Your empty lives Your empty lives
