Wondering

Yeah, yeah
Check it

My hand's a flame-thrower
My eye's glazed over
Why am I chain smoking?
Who needs a Beethoven?
Who shall I take a pop at?
Call me Jake LaMotta
I'm a cross-breed of Chopper Reed and Ray Liotta
Planet hot now, crash like Roswell
This is Planet Hostile, like Lee Harvey Oswald

I see scared people 'cos I see unfair leaders
I see dead people 'cos I see shared needles
It's all liposuction, it's all thigh reduction
It's all filofaxes and nice bible bashing
Let the fat kids try it, it's called the Atkin's Diet
Well all this advertising, it's kinda patronizing
Calvin Klein and Polo Sport
But the truth stays quieter than a coma ward
I keep seeing Bill Hick's ghost
He says World War Four will be fought with sticks and stones

Wondering
Is this there all there is
Since I was, since I began to be
Wondering
Is this there all there is
Since I was, since I began to be

Must be my greatest triumph
My face lit up by the lightning
As I watch all the ravens fly off
In my grave I turn
But what did I die of?
Next to the flowers
Propped up its my biog
It took a lot to compile
Let's all have a read and see
It's all there in chronological files
Rocks fall from the sky
We drown war cries
As we dance round the fire like Lord of the Flies
They think you need a shrink to relate
But all you need is the strength to throw a sink through the wall and escape
Why not place a gun up to my head and end all of it?
When I can turn water into wine and then walk on it
Germ warfare we've been warned of it
Soon kids will take packed lunch and gas masks to school with them
But shit, surely someone should sue someone
Holy jihads, batman someone should do something

Wondering
Is this there all there is
Since I was, since I began to be
Wondering
Is this there all there is
Since I was, since I began to be
