Afterlife Lyrics
"Society's Eye"

SOCIETY'S EYE
music and lyrics by Mike Hudson

Items of material wealth
Are not nearly as good as your health
It's the mark of the status quo
You know it's only good as the show
But it can soothe the pain
Ease the stress and strain of you life

Can you find a way to stay in Society's Eye
Society's Eye...etc

The jokes's on the working man
Cos he tries just as hard as he can
Grinds his fingers down to the dust
As the world around him rusts
It's hard to stay afloat
In a sinking boat full of sand

Your daddy broke his back
To pay the income tax
And keep the family name
a household word
And now you work a sweat
To pay the national debt
(They say) it's better to be seen
than to be heard

Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
The best things in life are sometimes free...

Can the Smith's keep up with the Jones'
With their closets infested with bones
Buy a house, buy a brand new car
These are the things that make you what you are
It's like a pesticide
Spreading city-wide to their homes
