Verse 1
G
So when I think about sex I think of Durex,
 
And it's Armitage Shanks when I'm taking a piss,
Em
The icons of time are Swatch and Rolex,
C
And Captain Birdseye is the governor of fish.
 
Verse 2
G
So they found a way of controlling the masses,
 
On the sides of the buses and TV screens,
Em
The bombs start dropping when religion clashes,
C                               D
Atheism, the American dream.
 
Verse 3
G
With headlines designed to shoot down heroes,
 
Trading money for popularity,
Em
They're laughing stocks until they die young,
C                       D
And the papers cash in on their tragedies.
 
Verse 4
G
So Little Bo Beep would be knocked up at 14,
 
Addicted to vodka and ketamin,
Em
If she lost her sheep she wouldn't give a shit,
C                         D
As long as she gets home in time to watch Skins.
 
Chorus
G
Cos we're not a generation,
Em
We're just a target market,
C
This is an advert soundtrack,
Em           D
Just for the broken hearted

Verse 5
G
So mix red and blue you get purple hazes,
 
Fills the sky on election days,
Em
Choke you down at the polling station,
C                         D
Fascists will blame it on immigration.
 
Verse 6
G
But the magazines, billboards, catchphrases, gimmicks,
 
You buy one you get one you get one free,
Em
They promised me fast cars, riches and women,
C                         D
All they ever gave me was A.D.D.
 
Verse 7
G
Life is a shit thing, a shit thing to me,
Em
I'm always looking back to the sixties,
C
What a waste of fucking space,
Em      D
Most universities.
 
Verse 8
G
Cos the dole queue is stretching around the block,
 
And this empire has got no friends,
Em
That was not a recession,
C                       D
That was the beginning of the end.

         C
So I'll put out my hands, and lay down my arms,
G
Plug me in to the matrix and facebook charms,
D
And I will buy all the things, that you want me to own,
C
My wife can give birth to a mobile phone.
 
Verse 9
G
And I'll try and get a gig at the Durex Apollo,
 
And I'll try and get sponsored by Dignitas
Em
And when I've got enough people to follow,
C                       D               G
We can all turn up there one day en masse.
