Subversive Love Songs
Everybody here is just the same
The seasons roll in their slumber
You don't even know my name
But pretend you've got my number
I'll have to sing subversive love songs
To critique these current events
So we can discuss the obvious
The landlords owe us rent
Millions of people nodding their heads
"This must be the way that it is"
Patiently ignored we explain it again
"It never was, and no, it isn't"
(chorus)
We have to allow for so much more
Freedom beyond imagination
Then to weave in room and board
To people's unique destination
(chorus, instrumental weirdness)
And this is why privacy matters the most
Without it freedom's no light
Someone else saying what is, yes I know
Someone else is well wrong or right
(chorus)
If we continue the same mistakes
Privacy and freedom are out
Culture flattens before it breaks
And society fails, there's no doubt
(chorus)
Everybody here is just the same
The seasons roll in their slumber
You don't even know my name
But you think you've got my number
The landlords owe us rent
