All Set Up Lyrics

Poets with the sign up
Obsessive in their reduction
Silence for the father
The clinic for the alter boy
A cynic with the whip hand
Intransigent sentry posts
Rasping when your back's turned
Missing in your inaction

He tries & he tries but he can't understand
It's all messed up that fatal flaw again
Comprehension
You want to know why, you shout your demand
It's all set up that fatal flaw again
Contradiction

A rebel with a bus pass
Back & thriving with the maiden
Drunk in the heart
Anger & mis-management
Hiding on the backstreets
Free yourself of the burden
A health care victim?
Rationing your own survival

He tries & he tries but he can't understand
It's all messed up that fatal flaw again
Comprehension
You want to know why, you shout your demand
It's all set up that fatal flaw again
Contradiction
