lyrics

These shoes are not meant for a man like you.
These shoes are gonna make everybody hate you.
You need an audience and a national stage, a speakerphone, possibly a parade.
But you’re never gonna get it; you’ll always be reviled – despicable entertainment and sordid smiles.
You can keep on talking; no-one will ever care.
You’ve got sentences and words, so lay them bare.

These shoes are gonna make everybody hate you.
You need minutes of tranquillity, pools that glisten, a hand to hold, and ear that will listen.
But you’re never gonna get it; you’ll always be reviled – despicable entertainment and sordid smiles.
You can keep on talking; no-one will ever care.
You’ve got sentences and words, so lay them bare.

‘Oh there is a special patron on this bandit bus of yours – forlorn and damned, what you say? You left him in a drawer. He never wanted anything but respect that is due to a man who signed upon the line and went to war for you. Dressed in the garb of pre-educated man, carrying the load of the subject that you damn. There is a human being riding on your trip today. Care you to even turn around, hear what he has to say? Eat your zippy fast food and pollute your tiny brains with the celebrity of no-one and the humour of his pain.

Bells for this, bells for that, ‘oh look’ its time to eat again, man ain’t you getting fat?!’
