Adversity Lyrics

I saw the advert on my TV screen.
Slimline girls and a tea machine.
Housewife proud of her shiny floor.
As if that's what she was living for.
The cat who had his teeth pulled out
That's what the public love no doubt.
A cuddly gimmick to make you smile.
That cat won't grin for a very long while.

I saw the advert on my TV screen.
Slimline drinks and tetley tea.
Exploit the accent of the flat-cap men.
Like hell the North will rise again.
The comradeship of drinking ale.
The workers' revolution failed.
Too pissed on shit to notice it.
Nevermind wear it if it fits.Subhumans - Adversity - http://motolyrics.com/subhumans/adversity-lyrics.html

I saw the advert on my TV screen
Slimline cars a real mean machine.
It's cheaper than this, it's cheaper than that.
It's still ten thousand pounds you twat.
Do I get a free tart with every one?
Can I drive it off into the sun?
Has it got a big ashtray?
I'm hooked on forty fags a day

You mustn't smoke, you mustn't drink.
You mustn't even try to think.
Just stay dead the advert said
Eight out of ten people had no brains.
Eight out of ten said they enjoyed it.
The whole damn country died of boredom.
