Stay Sweet Lyrics


Do you laugh a thin laugh at your bosses jokes

When you really want to spit in his face?

But instead you resist and pucker your lips,

Happy just to be among the race.

Are you at your best when you’re on your knees,

Kissing the appropriate feet.

You’re fooling yourself with the greatest of ease,

Hoping everybody stays sweet.

Do you wait your turn, cap in hand,

When you just want to take what’s yours.

With no idea of what's right and who's wrong,

You blindly follow every law.

Apathy and fear are epidemic,

Diversity's treated like disease.

Just one time, try looking from the outside

I know you’ll be afraid of what you see.

Do you have to work late sooner than go home

Because you can't stand the life you've made?

With a husband or wife for the rest of your life.

You don’t speak as your interest fades.

She's tied to the sink, and you've got your drink.

But there are loads worse off by far.

There's a root on your head and you're not yet dead

And you've even got your own car.

Do you turn off the light, when you’re fucking at night,

Dreaming of something new.

A holiday once a year if you’re lucky,

You hate him and he hates you.

Apathy and fear are epidemic,

Diversity's treated like disease.

Just one time, try looking from the outside

I know you’ll be surprised of what you see.
