Subhumans Culture Addict Lyrics

Upper downer, side to side
We live to watch or have a go
Let's reproduce the advert life
That winks the “yes” as it yells the “no”
(Now you're just a culture addict)
And sells the basic contradiction
What you need is more addiction
Every desire is up for sale
Greed succeeds as reason fails

Addicted tricked but then I fixed it
Kicked it, missed it - couldn't resist it

What's addiction? Who's to say
Degrees extreme or every day
With repetition it begins
Realisation sinking in
(Now you're just a culture addict)
No more choice of take or leave it
The double-sided "can't believe it" How did something so brand new
Become the only thing to do?

Addicted tricked but then I fixed it
Kicked it, missed it - couldn't resist it

Pleasure was the measure used
To judge the idea of success
But then your conscience got abused
By false conceptions of "the best"

Now it’s too easy to get more
And more of what you're needing less
And harder too, to reach a point
Beyond this culture of excess

Addicted tricked but then I fixed it
Kicked it, missed it - couldn't resist it
Addicted
Couldn’t resist it
