Stereolab The Noise Of Carpet [US Single] lyrics

I hate to see your broken face
This world would give you anything
As long as you will want to
As long as you will want to

I hate your state of hopelessness
And that vain articulateness
Your loser type wreck wanna be
Not a pretty sight really in another world it'd be funny

I hate to see your broken face, a lazy life of fatal waste
If fashionable cynicism, the poison they want you to drink
Oh no man, that's too easy
Oh no man, that's too easy

We weren't talking 'bout happiness, apply your leading potential

To be useful to this planet, the world would give you anything
As long as you will want to
As long as you will want to

I hate to see your broken face, a lazy life of fatal waste
If fashionable cynicism, the poison they want you to drink
Oh no man, that's too easy
Oh no man, that's too easy

We weren't talking 'bout happiness, apply your leading potential
To be useful to this planet, the world would give you anything
As long as you will want to
As long as you will want to
