Instead I Became Anenome

Unity is connected to fraternity
And fraternity is connected to egalité
And legality is connected to poverty
And poverty, is an enemy

He's living in a lonely tenement
Floor carpeting by excrement

Drinking from a glass of sediment
Trying to live down a speech impediment

Wallowing in second-hand misery
An anti-social history

I learnt all the worst things in life are free
Found the key to the land of the not-so-free
Another stitch in life's rich tapestry
INSTEAD... I BECAME ANENOME!

An urgent sea urchin
Who's searching for his own reward

Doesn't know the value of someone else's values
...Or he can't afford to

A poke in the eye of the right
A knee in the social groin

Faux pas and two-headed monsters
...springing from his loins

WHO CARES about the thoughts of a drunken sailor?
WHO CARES about the thoughts of a sunken failure?
He's bleached; washed up; hung out to dry

What'll we do with him? (STICK HIM UP THE CHIMNEY!)

I used all of the money they lent to me
I was beginning to drown in an endless sea
But I learnt not to sit under the apple tree
INSTEAD... I BECAME ANENOME!

Learnt all the worst things in life are free
Found the key to the land of the not-so-free
Another stitch in life's rich tapestry
INSTEAD...I BECAME ANENOME!

I'm just trying to make my whims meet up with my ideology

When is an indulgence not an indulgence?
When it's a necessity

There's no patent on the obvious
...only on the seven deadly sins

One man's ...cyn-i-cism
Is another man's ...philosophy

WHO CARES about the thoughts of a drunken sailor?
WHO CARES about the thoughts of a sunken failure?
One man's fish is another man's...poisson
My seventh sin is to choose to be...
(HE CHOSE TO BE ANENOME)
I'm just trying... to make... my whims... meet up with my ideology. (Another stitch in life's rich tapestry)
(Another stitch in life's rich tapestry)

I used all the money they lent to me
I was beginning to drown in the empty sea (mtc)
But I learnt not to sit under the apple tree
INSTEAD... I BECAME ANENOME!

Learnt all the worst things in life are free
Found the key to the land of the not-so-free
Another stitch in life's rich tapestry
INSTEAD... I BECAME ANENOME!

Anenome anenome anenome anenome
