Moulding Of A Fool

The play ground bully that forced you That cigarette at school It ain't the nicotine or ash he pushed It was the moulding of a fool

That mum and dad once telling you The way you're dressed ain't cool They ain't no genuine fashion tips That's the moulding of a fool The dummy that they shove in mouth As soon as you can speak The pushchair that they strap you in Soon as you find your feet

The car advert shorter skirt The film you gotta see That dish to cook the way you look The person you must be The cheapest shop the tightest top The senseless waste of breath

Revolution won't be televised And neither will your death Revolution won't be televised And neither will your death

The very first drop of alcohol The taste on tongue so cruel Turns our dreams to plasticine And decent folks to fools The microscope the telescope The study of the jewels It's the cutting of a gem alright It's the moulding of a fool Your death will pass unnoticed Like a hiccup or a cough Like the news of a mother mourning loss When televisions off

The car advert shorter skirt The film you gotta see That dish to cook the way you look The person you must be The cheapest shop the tightest top The senseless waste of breath

Revolution won't be televised And neither will your death Revolution won't be televised And neither will your death

But written on the gravestone Tattooed upon your neck Is stay within the yellow lines And don't wear stripe with check

The car advert shorter skirt The film you gotta see That dish to cook the way you look The person you must be The cheapest shop the tightest top The senseless waste of breath

Revolution won't be televised And neither will your death Revolution won't be televised And neither will your death

Put sunroof down on car Turn the music loud And think that acting proud or rich Will stand us from the crowd
