As Timely Now As It Was Then

You must be wondering how
The boy next door turned out
Have a care, but don't stare because he's still there
Lamenting policewomen, policemen, silly women, tax men
Uniformed whores
They who wish to hurt you work within the law
This world is full, so full of crashing bores
And I must be one, cuz no one ever turns to me to say
"Take me in your arms, Take me in your arms and love me"

You must be wondering how
The boy next door turned out
Have a care, and say a prayer because he's still there
Lamenting policewomen, policemen, silly women, tax men
Uniformed whores
Educated criminals work within the law
This world is full, oh, so full of crashing bores
And I must be one, cuz no one ever turns to me to say
"Take me in your arms, Take me in your arms and love me, love me"

What really lies beyond the constraints of my mind?
Could it be the sea, with fate mooning back at me?
No - it's just more lock-jawed pop stars
Thicker than pig shit, nothing to convey
They're so scared to show intelligence
It might smear their lovely career

This world, I am afraid, is designed for crashing bores
I am not one, I am not one
You don't understand
You don't understand
