Please Sir Lyrics
Please sir, tell me why there’s no black superman?
KKK, kryptonite?
“God only make Caucasian superheroes.”
Please sir, tell me why we stick a man on the moon,
When life on earth’s cheap?
“Son, we gotta do our bit for the world trade deficit.”
Please sir tell me why,
If ‘God is love’,
I’m so dysfunctional.
Please sir, tell me why there’s so much vagrancy.
“Layabouts get a job.”
Well there’s an opening for a part-time unabomber.
Please sir, tell me why my life’s so pitiful.
But “the future’s so bright”.
Well, I’d look ahead but it burns my retinas.

love the lyrics to this song, maybe not as musically good as some other of Pitchshifter's but it has a good message to that shows that this life is really fucked
Music with a message rather than "Oh, my life sucks!". They're sorta like the British equivalent of RATM lyrics-wise.
I like how the song just takes oridinary catchphrases that don't really mean anything and tries to turn them around.
"God is love" "The future's so bright"
Basically the song is about how people make dumb excuses, or in this case cliches, to ignore problems in our society.
