Bored, all I do is work I’m broke
Real conditions. it’s the pits
Never this, vulgar econo
Never this, vulgar econo
Never this, vulgar economist
Old Freddy Hayek can rest in piss
This week has been murder
I need a diversion
In exchange for my labour
I need a diversion
Metro Morning is like a body count
Thirteen years austerity drought
Pundits, experts, I resented
Even the shit towns are expensive
This week has been murder
Capital grinds us further
Change of scene would be better
Worn out like old leather
How many ways to say it?
Don’t!
Better off being on drugs than to bother
To vote
Information isn’t power
Information isn’t power
It’s no fun being right
The bad guys won,
Forget it
Forget it
Forget it
Good night

Impossible stillness
Meets the end-of-day
Familiar appointment
With fraught disarray
No space for digression
A value-less lesson
No space between days
There’s no space between days
It’s just dust
Pinhead dust
Psychic intrusions
Disorganized haste
To be far less cryptic
Such depressive symptoms
Are totally tied into these laboured days
Into dust
Pinhead dust
Less sad eyed, more idiot wind

How’s that working out for you, being cute?
Last year’s man, he’s finally getting the boot
The rain falls down, indeed
What did you mean
He’s here the fashion of the Christ
it’s a subculture heist
Guess you didn’t pull your weight
when you rolled the dice
A state that’s got hard to explain
You can’t solve like acid rain
There’s no legacy for
A dead issue that fades
The rain falls down, indeed
What did you mean?

Gotta pay the price for purity
You inherit your security
Or you’re left in the cold
Made the airways an in playground
From your roster is the only sound
No one breaks the mold
Empires to which others aspire
Outsiders trying to get hired
Go party on Zoom
In the marketplace of bad ideas
Extended adolescence a few more years
You peaked way too soon
People say it’s been this way for years
Generations aging out of here
A nostalgic tomb
Goon.

All of Liiek’s album covers are incredibly compelling, and their take on post-punk is just as appealing. As much as I liked their first album, this follow up is much more cohesive, delivering a perfect amalgamation of melody and dissonance. Glad I was able to find a copy on vinyl.
