Anomie Lyrics

The capitalist traders are taunting my neighbours

For wanting to savour a predictable life

They say you must innovate dear

We just cannot wait dear

For old fashioned ideas

To wither and die

They say, if you bite down hard you might get paid

They say, if you fill the slack, you might be saved

Our culture is hollow

Mephistopheles followers

Trading our spirit for a wandering eye

We only see wages and desperate cages

We don't want a limit

We want an infinite life

Alienation is the role we play

Dislocation is the stock we trade

Anomie is my name

I have an insatiable nature

The winds must always change

So there are no values left to nurture

I have an insatiable nature

There are no values left to nurture

We're still making our minds up

We're not ready to sign up

To anything to formal

We don't want to be tied

Like the woman at the well

There's a thirst we can't quell

We're normless and gormless

We're turning to crime

Alienation is the price we pay

Dislocation is the stock we trade

Anomie is my name

I have an insatiable nature

The winds must always change

So there are no values left to nurture

Anomie is my name

I am free from regulation

If there's one thing that I crave

It's an infinite horizon

If there's one thing that I crave

It's an infinite horizon

This modern life, this modern, this modern life

Will make you tired

This modern life, this modern, this modern life

Will break your spine

This modern life, this modern, this modern life

Will make you sigh
