(The Public Get) What the Public Doesn’t Want Songtext
von Napalm Death

Jesse Pintado

Name your price for progress
Impoverished settle the bill
Clear a path - coming through!
Clear a path - coming through!

Stylise
Make it easy / on the eye
Keep our distance -
Too under-formed to grace the ′sublime'

Flatter to deceive
Building arthouse cosmetics
Like a mismatched prosthetic
Like a mismatched prosthetic


Spreads llike wildfire
Burgeoning yuppie nirvana
Highbrow aesthetics
Decadents always crave more

Marvel at / the sleek design
The wilting talk / of curves and lines
A piece-de / -resistance
To Banish my pig-ignorance

The public gets / what the public doesn′t want
What use is this / to man or beast
It glosses over / basic needs

The public gets / what the public doesn't want
Access denied? we're utter philistines
Access denied? we′re utter philistines

Caged in / the exclusion zone
Pass away / in sepia tones
Access denied? accept we′re cultural slime
Access denied? accept we're cultural slime
