The Edgar Broughton Band - Who Only Fade Away Lyrics
(R.E. Broughton)
So very safe and simple here in the hospital
All the little babies are more or less the same
A routine operation a lump behind each ear
No pain no fear among the lower graded workers
Who never ask for much only some time to pay
Who never really live who only fade away
You must not be frightened – we're not going to bite you
We're only here to help you out and you can rest assured
The operation will provide you with your function in society
A siliconic conscience so don't ever tell a lie
Or small electric shocks kick you in the head
Paralyze your legs and nobody really cares
If you make the wrong decision you've only got yourself to blame
The curtain will come down on the window of your brain.
No more bad behaviour or you'll be out in exile
Spending lots of time trying to learn your name
You never will succeed unless you toe the line
You will pass your time among the lower creit ratings
Who never go beyond merely asking for more time to pay.
The curtains coming down on the windows of your brain.
