Freaks collecting stained-glass rubies
Pillowed gently on a strand
Bearing looks of frenzied blankness
Slowing down their B.B. King

Middle class suburban children
Wearing costumes that reveal

Apathy, still a king
Liberal reactionaries
Never dealing anything, for now

So I'm leavin' for the country, to try and rest my head
'Cause if I hang around this scene too long
You know babe, I'll be dead
