UNCIVILISED

I've got so much information now
I don't want to know it all
I feel left out if I raise a doubt
It's like talking to the wall

And so the anger rises when it should be gone by now
I've had the class in self-control and tried to settle down
But conformity is never quite enough to get around
The need to shout for more than this but such things aren't aloud

Cos comfort is the latest fix so shut up and tune in
The appliance of compliance to the cogs in the machine
The silent screams of loneliness or anger in the eyes
Are best suppressed don't show the stress- now we're civilised

So much compromise
Now we're civilised
Until there's no surprise

After all that sort of thing is burned into our heads
To be generally avoided cos you are what you just said
So take the time to redefine the resonance of will
That's screaming I just want to tell you how I really feel

And try to stop apologising just to make it less
Go further out that feeling we're alone with all this stress
There's more strength in resistance
When the No becomes a Yes

Go uncivilised
No more compromise
Go on have a surprise

It's what you were when you were born
It's what you are when you wake up
It's how the structures all get torn
Apart before they catch you up
Uncivilised
Is everything available and free
No more social slavery
How much mental baggage do you need?
