Spikes To You Lyrics

'A' frames, statuettes, sunset magazine
they're lining up to do their jobs but i swear to god i seen:
bits and guts and pieces hanging from the trees
Stumpy mow the lawn, c'mon, ya gotta bare piece a' ground.
Pour some concrete, buy a sofa, lay yer body down
your kids are fucking in your garbage
they're waiting for your job
got the mouths around your paycheck
got joyticks for your saws.

I was riding my motorbike home when this beast of a song came on, it's nuts! Great tune, from what I can tell it's about people who try so hard to be perfect but their life gets in the way. 'Your kids are fucking in your garbage' Haha..

Picky picky, but the actual lyric is 'put a sofa on your concrete slab'. Other than that, it seems to be a criticism of bland suburbia - keeping up appearances and being eaten alive by your children. Not so sure what 'spikes to you' actually means, but it's ambiguously nasty enough that it doesn't really matter.
