Building Our Own Prison

Lyrics

[Refrain] Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack [Verse 1] Tick tack clackity clack Round and around in the front and the back Big boxes ringing the town Dead pubs all falling down Change is constant, metamorphosis Someone even call it progress [Refrain] Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack [Chorus] Can't you see it shining? Can't you see it spin? The chrysalis spinning in the wind Out in the cold dry wind where we're Building our own prison Building our own prison [Refrain] Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack [Verse 2] On the white man's reservation Waiting for the bell to ring Little pops of pleasure Look at all these wonderful things In a final act of compliance I'll donate my shopping list to science Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack Get back in my car, keep on driving Back and fore, for evermore Nail my body to the temple door [Refrain] Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack [Chorus] Can't you see it shining? Can't you see it spin? The chrysalis begins to swing Out in the cold dry wind where we're Building our own prison Building our own prison [Refrain] Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack Tick tack clackity clack [Outro] Cheap gas, my arse Democracy dead at last Tick tack clackity clack
