Sunshine Ward - Amebix

Roses are red.

sometimes violets are blue

But we’re always puking on cider and glue

People say that we’re twisted, you know it’s not true

We just get so bad when there’s fuck all to do

Life in this building is freezing and wet

If I once had a brain, then I seem to forget

'Cause just when I caught it, it slipped through the net

Now we sedate ourselves slowly, no time for regret

Sunshine ward’s laughing, the inmates are here

Filling our lives full of sulphate and beer

We’ve tried every way to make «real life» less clear

As stupidity sets in, the truth disappears

Sunshine ward’s screaming, we crawl to the door

Reality creeps back, I can’t take no more

There is no more stairway, we’re stuck on this floor

And fear digs in deep, as the patient’s hands claw

The happy dream shatters and falls to the floor

The doubt crawling in that we can’t just ignore

Should we carry this farce on just as before?

Or start living for life’s sake, away from the ward?
