Houseplants

Kids are getting smarter but the brain ain't getting cheaper
 Zeitgeist operation and the skin is getting pinker
 Houseplants in my future, houseplants to the skies
 There's a rotten sense of pain, fear in your eyes
 Rotten sense of pain, fear in your eyes
 Houseplants, houseplants
 We speak about our days, yeah, we speak about a raise
 Everybody's bored, we're just too afraid to say
 Houseplants in my future, houseplants to the skies
 There's a rotten sense of pain, fear in your eyes
 Rotten sense of pain, fear in your eyes
 Rotten sense of pain, fear in your eyes, ooh

 And I find myself looking for a future that doesn't exist
 This is my beautiful house and I can't afford to live in it
 Money through the back tunnel
 1970s war picture living
 Children's television
 We're still Making Plans for Nigel
 Middle England
 General conversation in a sympathetic tone
 Chimps are being killed with your upper hand
 This is how the other half live
 Green fingers, my friends have new meanings
 Career driven, guided by oxygen
 Or maybe I'm just lazy
