Big Cheese - Aggravated Mopery Lyrics

1. TCP

the barren land is torn all up

dystopian streets, broken concrete underfoot

perpetually greying skies have clouded your mind

and the toxic fumes have left you blind

to the world you can no longer see

forget about who you wanted to be

stench of petroleum, crude oil and tcp

with fuck all to blame but political greed

your ashes are swept away in a gust

remnants of a life crumbled to dust

the air is so thin you can no longer breathe

hospitals collapsed and every railway bridge

infrastructure could never last

dreams of an idyll life fade to nothing now that your

ashes are swept away in a gust

remnants of all life crumbled to dust

2. Pass the Buck

restricted by the self-proclaimed powerhouses trying to abuse

coercion tactics and malfeasance that they never cease to use

gaslight me and smother me and all your manipulative ways

you bend your own rules and think you'll get away

gaslight me and smother me until the end of the day

you bend your own rules but in the end you'll pay

the buck stops here and so does your fun

negligent flounder, your jobs worth scum

restricted by the self-proclaimed powerhouses trying to a buse

coercion tactics and malfeasance that they never cease to use

gaslight me and smother me and all your manipulative ways

you bend your own rules and think you'll get away

gaslight me and smother me until the end of the day

you bend your own rules but the end you'll pay

the buck stops here and so does your fun

you failed as a copper too, fucking scum

3. Night Keeper

you scream and thrash around

hoping to wake, not a sound

you panic and pray it's not real

so feverish you begin to feel

static deafens your ears

forced to face your fears

some kind of dark vacuum limbo

a distant shadow begins to grow

your conscience cripples your senses

depleted body defences

there's no route in which to take

for the mind to come through unscathed

drenched in a cold sweat

reluctant to face the threat

before succumbing to the dread

of the malevolent fiend

towering above your bed

4. Glass In Your Foot

watch where you're going son

cause after all's said and done

it'll reel you in one by one

you've got glass in your foot

I bet it hurts

but try not to squirm

should've watched that step cause

you've got glass in your foot

booby trapped you for a laugh

ease it out in the bath

it's all fun and games 'till

you've got glass in your foot

no sympathy for the post-millennial android

breathe some fresh air don't pretend you've got no choice

it looks like your hands are tied

take your eggs poached or fried

should've worn some shoes cause

you've got glass in your foot

you're trapped in pixel hell

you're braindead as well

your wound will start to swell when

you've got glass in your foot

digitally rendered cries

you resist the flower of life

don't forget to tell the world

you've got glass in your foot

there's no sympathy for the post-millennial android

breathe some fresh air don't pretend you've got no choice

5. Path of Perfection

6. Aggravated Mopery

sent on his way

then wasted on the stoop

koshed on the back

for some minor coup

"what am I to do?"

he said "don't break the law"

"but sir I've got no money

and my life's become a bore"

it's aggravated mopery

moping every day and chasing dead dreams

this routine isn't all what it seems

making up the law, rewriting policies

those fun-sponge crooks got him begging em please

they won't admit it

authority fantasy

but you can smell it

some'll do the dirt for free

mopers will shit it

weakened society

normalise the hate

widespread infamy

they won't admit it

authority fantasy

but you can smell it

some'll do the dirt for free

mopers will shit it

weakened society

normalise the hate

"someone's got it in for me"

it's aggravated mopery
