Liberal Backlash Angst (The Excuse) Lyrics by Chris Knox

Croaker

1991

[Verse 1]
Fuck the 90's - stay inside and sleep em through
Fuck the ozone - get some spray cans, sniff some glue
Fuck the forests - rip em down and paint em blue
Fuck the virus - take your condoms off and screw
Fuck the neighbors - let em rot for all I care
Fuck the family - they've never got a buck to spare
[Bridge 1]
May the whole damn world decay
I don't want to face the day
[Verse 2]
Fuck the women - beds and kitchens their domain
Fuck the Maoris - flush the bastards down the drain
[Bridge 2]
I wish the world would go away
Before we start another day
[Chorus 1]
I'm too damn scared to face the light
Give me the blankness of the night
Where I can cower, soft and white
[Verse 3]
Fuck my body - shapeless, pallid, full of pain
Fuck my memories - a catalogue of guilt and shame
[Bridge 3]
I hope to die some easy way
Before tomorrow becomes today
[Chorus 1]
I'm too damn scared to face the light
Give me the blankness of the night
Where I can cower, soft and white
[Chorus 2]
I'm too damn scared to breath this air
I know damn well I cannot bear
To live another day's despair
