Apes Pigs & Spacemen Safety Net
It’s not the same as sending someone home
Walking through the hopscotch of colours
Isn’t far removed from the cracks in the paving slabs.
Maybe not to others, still a danger to yourself
Like pauper times.
In and out of a revolving door
Onto a wholesale dumping ground.
Pre:
I see your chemical crutch
As a control but not the cure.
I talk too much, but what do I know?
What do I know?
Chorus:
Please take the leap, safety net below.
Though, if you’re weak, watch out for the holes.
Please take the leap, everyone must go
Down where you keep slipping through,
Slipping through the holes.
It’s not the man, it’s only the disease
Making all the choices and no amount of force will change
The pyramid of sound.
Day after day we take the easy way
In and out of a revolving door
Onto a wholesale dumping ground.
Pre, chorus.
Welcome to your caring society:
A new class of vagrants – the abandonati
A host of homeless, mentally sick ex-patients
Who roam the streets and public places.
Are asylums really necessary?
Are asylums really necessary?
Chorus.
