instant nervous breakdown
just add water


ever done something you thought,
 bang on at time but found
later
it was really silly
instant nervous breakdown
just add water
I aughta taught my daughter
to wash her mouth out with soap
and water for being lippy
shes giving me
an instant nervous breakdown
with her teenage playing records by the smith’s
FROWN!
hell your too young for that!
a razor blade with every record
or am I an old bugger?
envious of youth?
anyway come on its time for tea
time for normal sanity to resume
now you turned the ipod off
get out of your room and go eat
your burger and mash pea squash
dont play with your feed
for mash get smash!
the Martians have us down to a tee
these fighting families
laughing hysterically at us
form 64 0000 million miles away in spaceships
look at us, like insects in glue
under one roof
we wave and drown and feed
and fight and scoff and play
in this zoo
and race and decay and swill
and sway ourselves
to our instant nervous breakdowns
its trendy
socially acceptable now
were evolving
one pill for this
one pill for that
the doctors waiting room has a sign that says
please 10 minutes, no more
and don’t bring your family in here
this aint a counselling service!
and don’t expect to walk out with shit loads of drugs!
be prepared to leave without a prescription
for your instant nervous breakdown
and then I thought Christ,
if everyone walks out empty handed,
we will have a mountain of drugs to throw away
maybe the NHS will put them all into landfill
and the earth will digest them all and overdose
or puke up a big bang
or slumber in a comatose
just like I do today
with my instant family nervous breakdown
