about

Narth said that he still sometimes asks the machine something from time to time. but at the end of the day, he'd given up. given up on that desire, and the dissatisfaction that had arisen from it. and why did he even trust the machine in the first place? it had showed him all sorts of things that he had no idea about, and that he had no idea how to prove for himself. is that what led him to create such a distorted map of reality? Narth sighed once more. for all the time he'd spent delving into his curiosities, asking the machine this and that, what had he accomplished? he was still Narth, sitting at the bus stop waiting for the bus, just the same as you, just the same as me.

lyrics

people that I know
they're not that bad
people that I know
have fun when they can
people that I know
try their best not to feel sad
so tell me what the fuck is wrong with that

go down to the site and snort amphetamines
walking down the road to buy some ketamine
all of the while we're swigging on some gin
and now I think I'm going to sing
so pass me that guitar its only got 5 strings
and I'll sing a song about something
and we'll sit around the fire and shoot the shit
figure out the best and worst of it

'cause people that I know
they're not that bad
the people that I know
have fun when they can
people that I know
just try their best not to feel sad
so tell me what the fuck is wrong with that

with bankers fucking up the economy
pedophiles chasing children through the streets
tell me whats so wrong about smoking a joint with some mates?
'cause I don't know what the fuck I am doing
half the time that I'm alive
am I even living half of the time that I'm alive?
am I even living half the time?
and its not the drugs
if it was the drugs
I guess I haven't taken nearly quite enough
and its not my mum
no its not my dad
I can't remember why it was that I first started feeling sad
its not my friends 'cause they're there for me
at least when they can be
and its not my job
its not money
I've got enough to see out the week
at least I think I've got enough for me
but I could spare a few quid if you really needed it

'cause people that I know
they're not that bad
people that I know
have fun when they can
people that I know
just try their best not to feel sad
so tell me what the fuck is wrong with that

Theresa May botching up her Brexit deal
well I think I might kinda know how she feels
'cause I let down quite a few people
quite a few times
and Donald Trump
well its a miracle he's not a grump
he's letting it all out on twitter
'cause who wouldn't be bitter
if everybody's saying you're not the brightest star in the sky
that you're a few pennies short of a dime
that Putin's hand's so far up your arse every word you says a lie

the people that I know
they're not that bad
people that I know
have fun when they can
people that I know
just try their best not to feel sad
the people that I know
they're not that bad
people that I know
have fun when they can
people that I know
just try their best not to feel sad
'cause if we're alright then it can't be all bad
