Bureaucrats

from Madhouse of Invention by The Contrast

/

lyrics

i’m ten feet up red taped to the wall by the bureaucrats
got a fifty page tax demand triplicate form
from the bureaucrats

damned by the detail in their complicated minds
i’m a file on their laptops a projection on their blinds
a pre-disposed rejection i’ve been stamped and displayed
i have made a complaint but the hearing’s been delayed

they’re the devils in the detail they’re the storm in the night
they can’t be wrong they’re never right
they’re infecting the infection and they’re not very bright

my identity has fractured in a hard drive crash
with the bureaucrats
they believe I am two people and my eyes don’t match
that’s the bureaucrats
