damned - lively arts lyrics

i'm gonna stay in bed all day
i'm not gonna hear a word you say
it's gonna be a life of style for me
electric blankets, pillows, fire and tv

take a look outside
those lively arts are on the slide
and culture's just a bore
when you're angry young and poor
and if i got my way
those idle rich would pay
when the discussion starts
on the lively arts

i'm gonna be a lazy slob
sod the folks and sod the job
and tell the foreman that i'm ill
and in a week i'll be here still
yes i will

take a look outside
those lively arts are on the slide
and culture's just a bore
when you're angry young and poor
and if i got my way
those idle rich would pay
when the discussion starts
on the lively ar
