Pop Songs

You'll never make the charts - charts - if you sing about repression

Cos pretending to be in control - in control - is a national obsession

Even when the self-control is let loose as aggression - aggression

"Oh you know he doesn't mean it man","It's is natural expression"

"It's is natural expression"

Some say the constant hammering is following the beat

And popsongs heard to pass the time will break up the routine

In some hazy day pre-radio you'd hear the hammers sing

Now they shout above the popsongs, go unnoticed and give in

Go unnoticed and give in

It claims to break up the routine, become a part of it - part of hit

But no signs of improvement in the way the hammers hit

You see the way the workers act when the chains relax a bit

Does it indicate their mental state as happy clean and fit?

Happy clean and fit?

After daylong happy tunes its prime reaction time

Blob out horizontal to the spectacle sublime

Replacing conversation space with pleasantries that rhyme

Have a good weekend folks, just make sure you're back by nine

Just make sure you're back by nine

So when the batteries went flat - flat - and the D.J. went off air

The atmosphere in the factory made everyone aware

They'd been replacing interaction with dependency on sound

So when the popsongs came back on they turned the whole thing down

So when the popsongs came back on they turned the whole thing down
