Lyrics

Benny’s Video

I hate the way you love me
It’s far and away
The most excruciating thing about you
In this dull-eyed charade
So of this suffering avail me now
If you wanna do the righteous thing
Avail me of my suffering
Are either of you suffering?

A symptomatic question
The clinical reply
The uneventful way it all went downhill
From taciturn to raging
Was I just curious to try?
A bored delinquent on the Kärntner ẞtrasse
Are you indifferent to the same things I am?
Am I just desensitised?
Do I need an alibi?

The conversation’s brittle
And it’s violent in a way
The unbecomingness of failure now
It’s our future and your livelihood at stake
Some other gruesome ice to break
Some other body in a bedroom closet
But when you leave me in the
Strange blue light here
And I’m forced to lie and wait
Immortalised on tape

Last night
In a fit of rage
I planned my last days
and want to find out
How I’d try to take it
Street lights and haze
Honestly i don’t mind waiting up for you
Honestly I don’t mind waiting up for you

You cradle my resentment
And feign to be surprised
At my resistance to the gaping groundswell
Of middle class evasion
Are you fit to raise a child?
You gonna take me on a nice vacation?
You gonna lead me down the same compliance
That’s eating you alive?

Last night
On the video 8
I planned my last days
And want to find out
How I’d try to take it
Street lights and haze
But honestly I don’t mind waiting up for you
Honestly I don’t mind waiting up for you

You want a miracle?
You gotta manufacture!
You want a method and great big house?
You want to fascinate?
You want a kinderleben?
You wanted love but you can do without!

You want protection from
The execution ring!
You want to fuck around and not find out!
You wanna nauseate!
You wanna feel encumbered!
You wanna demonstrate an awful sound?

Just give the people what they want
(Just give the people what they want)
Then give the people what they want
(Just give the people what they want)
