Hereditary Misery

He sits there opposite me on the tube with his arms crossed like a silly fucking Schoolboy Thinking about how he wishes he didn't do what he did He thinks he's in trouble he hasn't even seen trouble I'm staring at the stitches in his trousers They're strong not like mine not like mine His are made to be strong I sat sewing mine up just to have them ready in time In time for my day at school Like a happy fucking schoolboy It's taken me a while to realise that nothing really has an effect on anything at all No right or wrong no place to go no place to be That all this in life is somehow pretty easy Sure it's tough if you've chosen a place to go or a place to be And you're neither here nor there just sat in some comfy chair And when you realise you're never gonna get there Even if you do you're probably gonna hate it too When will you run away? You're walking in the same shoes your mum and daddy did No, I can't waste too long Trying to yank you out their pockets When you're on your way to see Hereditary misery I don't wanna be stressed so I de-stressed I shaved all my hair off in a form of meditation I know the real reason but you know how it is I could talk and talk forever but it's all about the mental mix You walk along looking at your shoelaces and praying you don't have to stop if they Come undone But you'll spend the same time falling over as you do tying them up so if I were you I'd stop the fucking pigeon steps and start speeding up Feeling down in the dumps well here you go take this pill don't worry it won't end up Curing you I know I'm at the point where I'm jumbled up But it's fun it's like a lucky dip Best kind of trip You can try and choose your path but they all have a similar flavour Like a plasticky pick n' mix Sit there with your selection showing it off Big old toff With it stuck in your teeth I've got no sweets so f*ck off When will you run away? You're walking in the same shoes your mum and daddy did No, I can't waste too long Trying to yank you out their pockets When you're on your way to see Hereditary misery Oh I know you want to run away 'Cos you're getting on the same bus every day Well you just gotta Get off and see That it's heading for Misery When will you run away? You're walking in the same shoes your mum and daddy did No, I can't waste too long Trying to yank you out their pockets When you're on your way to see Hereditary misery
