You talk about unity
but it's just so many polar forces sharing space
side by side with the same destination
all common ground but with no cohesion
any eye contact
burns through your retina like ultra-violet
the touch of another man's skin
seems to tear through your flesh like acid rain falling
so welcome to the promised land
where contempt flows like water and there's hatred close to hand
welcome to the human race
they'll knock you in the dirt and spill their coffee in your face
you look on with disgust at this pathetic island fallacy and watch as they skip taxes just to stop social mobility
It's an alienation-nation
and anonymity's my intention
where empty faces wish you a nice day
it's an alienation-nation
with interaction prevention,
where they call it offline interfacing 'cos there's no more conversation
so we're back here again
and I hope you're settling in
there's no work to be had and your neighbours are appalling
but here's 40 a week just to get the ball rolling
so welcome to the promised land
where contempt flows like water
and welcome to the human race
they'll knock you in the fucking dust
