Profits Of Old was written in 2015 just before I moved to Portugal…It is a call to arms and a piss take of the bullshit that divides us all and a dig at these two childish old man who have been making these strange noises together on and off, regardless, for more than 35 years, the mood is both serious and frivolous just like ourselves…Narcissistic pessimism is the only way!
lyrics
Seeing not believing
Or being there at all
I have no sense of feeling
Uncertainty is all
The aftertaste was bitter
The memory sublime
Like I met you once before
In some god forsaken dive
Last chance in the previous next life
Last chance for the prophets and exiles
Last chance for the wise and the puerile
If this is life, did you get what you came for?
If this is time, get it over with quickly,
The race is fucked & The planet is sickly
If this is life, did you vote for it really?
If it turns out shite, just swallow it meekly
Last chance for the fuckwits and retards
Last chance for the peasants and no marks
Last chance in this ultimate fake life
Last chance to end this strife
The life you waste
And the lies you made up
Looped flashbacks of the faces you fucked
Blessed unbelievers
With their idols made of clay
Long before I met you
I never knew your name
We were never lovers
We never played that game
To avoid having to lose you
I lost you all the same
I have a hot ass so they say
Narcissistic pessimism helps me through the day
Last chance, the planet is on fire
Last times in this tedious empire
Last chance for the clueless and senile
If this is life, did you get what you came for?
If this is time, get it over with quickly,
The race is fucked & The planet is sickly
If this is life, did you vote for it really?
If it turns out shite, just swallow it meekly
Last chance for the fuckwits and retards
Last chance for the peasants and no marks
Last chance to surf this mess
Keep keeping on The struggle is endless
Lost in procrastination
All I do is wait
Narcissistic pessimism is the only way
Throw open the asylums
Hear the madmen say
Narcissistic pessimism is the only way
In quaint suburban ghettoes
Plastic gangsters play:
Narcissistic pessimism each and every day
