Slim Leopard Files - See Things AS they Really ARE

See Things AS they Really ARE

SEE THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE
DEPRESSING REALLY AIN'T IT HUH ?

ANOTHER SMOKE ANOTHER BEER
HOW EASILY THEY DISAPPEAR

MORE TO EAT MORE TO DRINK
MORE YOU HAVE THE LESS YOU THINK

TO SEE THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE
DEPRESSING REALLY AIN'T IT HUH ?

LOVELY TELEVISION SET
MUST'VE COST A BIT I BET

TO WATCH THE STARVING WORLD AT WAR
THAT'S WHAT EASY CHAIRS ARE FOR

ONLY PICTURES SHAPES AND SOUNDS
AND COLOURS THAT JUST MOVE AROUND

I JUST WANT TO RUN AND HIDE
OR SWITCH IT TO THE OTHER SIDE

WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND TALL
AND I CAN JUST FORGET IT ALL

JUST TURN ON THE ANSWERPHONE
"I'M SORRY THERE IS NO ONE HOME"
