The Girl Doesn't Get It

Well the girl doesn't get it
 And you can't ever tell her
 She will go with whoever wants her
 It's a myth that they're selling
 That there's one perfect fella
 Take the pick of the cherries - go slow!
 There's a world through the front door
 There are people who need more
 There is love in the supermarket
 I got hopes for the future
 And it doesn't need money
 And it doesn't need two-faced liars
 One face is smiling
 Telling us to be afraid
 Painting a world of darkness
 But the other face is hidden
 And the eyes are looking back in time
 Gazing out on a fading empire
 You're alone in the dark night
 Sitting down with your worries
 'Cause your glorious youth got fucked up
 You're a train in the siding
 You're a car in a pileup
 You should dance till your heart is joyful
 I don't want to be aloof
 Wear the glasses of untruth
 I just want to become immortal
 They'll take profits over people
 They will make the country great again
 Just as long as it's white and ugly
 Fear the immigrant workforce
 Fear the kids raised on the internet
 They are scared if they can't control you
 ♪
 Are you living or waiting
 For the time to get better?
 Between sorrow and nothing, choose pain
 If compassion was honoured
 All our dumb human problems
 Would belong in a bin marked history
 We will shake hands politely
 Feel the pull of attraction
 'Cause love is our consolation
