(The Public Get) What the Public Doesn’t Want

[Verse 1]
Name your price for progress
Impoverished settle the bill
Clear a path, coming through
Clear a path, coming through

[Verse 2]
Stylise
Make it easy on the eye
Keep our distance
Too under-formed to grace the sublime

[Verse 3]
Flatter to deceive
Building art-house cosmetics
Like a mismatched prosthetic
Like a mismatched prosthetic

[Verse 4]
Spreads like wildfire
Burgeoning yuppie nirvana
Highbrow aesthetics
Decadents always crave more

[Verse 5]
Marvel at the sleek design
The wilting talk of curves and lines
Appease the resistance
To banish my pig-ignorance

[Chorus]
The public gets what the public doesn't want

[Verse 6]
What use is this to man or beast
It glosses over basic needs

[Chorus]
The public gets what the public doesn't want

[Bridge]
Access denied
We're utter philistines
Access denied
We're utter philistines

[Verse 7]
Caged in the exclusion zone
Pass away in sepia tones

[Chorus]
The public gets what the public doesn't want

[Bridge]
Access denied
Accept we're cultural slime
Access denied
Accept we're cultural slime

Access denied
