lively arts

The Damned

I'm gonna stay in bed all day
I'm not gonna hear a word you say
It's gonna be a life of style for me
Electric blankets, pillows, fire and TV

Take a look outside
Those lively arts are on the slide
And culture's just a bore
When you're angry young and poor
And if I got my way
Those idle rich would pay
When the discussion starts
On the lively arts

I'm gonna be a lazy slob
Sod the folks and sod the job
And tell the foreman that I'm ill
And in a week I'll be here still
Yes I will

Take a look outside
Those lively arts are on the slide
And culture's just a bore
When you're angry young and poor
And if I got my way
Those idle rich would pay
When the discussion starts
On the lively arts
