What We Do Is Public Lyrics by Bent Shapes

Wolves Of Want

2016

I've just seen a face
I can't forget the date and place
Rent and rending time/space
Those ubiquitous rules we chew up for the taste
We're steeped in gloating
Fear, and self-loathing
Dressed up tough like sheep in wolves' clothing
Sleepless, bloated, goading no-ones
Proximity means less these days than who is near your heart
Plus, being close to people never got you very far
It's nothing special
It's nothing personal
All in all
You're just another pic on my wall
I can't relax
Want to attack
Every emoting slacker
With the business-end of fat brass tacks
Memory means less these days
Usurped by point of fact
Truth enough to preclude
User's instincts to react
To something special
Something personal
The stultified have multiplied
And it is all your fault
Spend years and years
Convincing peers
That, though we're imperfect
We are worth it, serviceable
At least have earned
Any shit they give about us
Memory means less these days
Than who is near your heart
Plus being close to people never got you very far
What we do is public! Public!
