	Story Behind the Song I think it is self-explanatory! Lyrics Legoland in Suburbia Chorus: Legoland … Suburbia (3 times) Legoland is suburbia Suburbia: A place where they tear down trees and name streets after them, Where we pay our taxes so Richard Court can build a five million dollar bell tower – a fucking monument to himself, a phallic fucking symbol for a pretentious four-eyed fucking git. Bigger fish: Like a dead man staring at me and asking why I put him on TV – Why? Why is he dead for being black? Like I said, bigger fish. Like bodies in a river, Thousands of bodies in a river, thousands. Bigger fish: Like, why does money ruin everything? I would like to ask Juan Antonio Samaranch that one. Like I said, bigger fish. And just what did happen to the Waltons? at least we could laugh at them, if nothing else. I can’t laugh at a dead man on TV, OR .. BODIES .. IN .. A .. RIVER! Chorus So it gets harder to understand why things are really getting worse when they appear to be getting better. Like, why is my local pub serving overpriced imported beer? And why are all the bar staff young, barely dressed, blonde females? And why has Germaine Greer come out of retirement if things are so much better now? And why are the young so vacant? Didn’t we learn anything from LSD? Acid, yeah man, acid is back in fashion… if you can afford it. And if you can’t, you just get more vacant and less enlightened.. UNTIL .. YOU .. DIE! Chorus Vacant smiles: No-one knows the end product anymore. Hell, we could all be making Atomic bombs, But we wouldn’t know it, no siree: “Just tighten that screw, weld that join, add another piece of that gunk there, Jim-Bob; and hide that plutonium when the inspector comes around.” Because we all know those inspectors are spies, anyway. Inspector – spy – inspector – spy And they all have bigger fish to fry, anyway. Bigger fish: FUCK! … Soon there’ll be no bigger fish If we don’t stop dumping our shit in the ocean And cutting down the trees And pumping noxious crap into the air. And we’re doing it all with vacant fucking smiles So we can build our own .. grown-up … version .. of .. LEGOLAND! Chorus Open your eyes, people It’s OK to criticise, people Look around you, people Do things confound you, people? Then confront you local Member of Parliament Ask difficult questions And demand direct answers After all that is what they are there for Our taxes pay their salaries And if you’re not satisfied with the answers Don’t be afraid to break the law if that is what it takes Your conscience is more legitimate than any arbitrary rules Lock-on to a bulldozer if a Tuart forest is about to go under its blade. Demand an environmentally friendly tidal power station Don’t let politics dictate that gas is ‘better’ It’s fucking not! You have the power to control your own destiny I have the power to control my own destiny WE have the power to control our own destinies. The power is in your voice The power is in my voice The power is in OUR voices. So stand up and be heard, people STAND UP AND BE HEARD AND BE LISTENED TO .. PEOPLE! Open your eyes, people It’s OK to criticise, people Look around you, people Are you living in Legoland?
