Kids are getting smarter but the brain ain't getting cheaper
Zeitgeist operation and the skin is getting pinker
Houseplants in my future, houseplants to the skies
There's a rotten sense of pain, fear in your eyes
Rotten sense of pain, fear in your eyes
Houseplants, houseplants
We speak about our days, yeah, we speak about a raise
Everybody's bored, we're just too afraid to say
Houseplants in my future, houseplants to the skies
There's a rotten sense of pain, fear in your eyes
Rotten sense of pain, fear in your eyes
Rotten sense of pain, fear in your eyes, ooh

And I find myself looking for a future that doesn't exist
This is my beautiful house and I can't afford to live in it
Money through the back tunnel
1970s war picture living

We're still Making Plans for Nigel

Green fingers, my friends have new meanings
Career driven, guided by oxygen
Or maybe I'm just lazy
