Pleasuretime

I’m in a place, out of the big town,
You won’t believe the things I’ve seen that’s going down.
There’s no graffiti, no sign of trouble here,
The people look so happy, they walk around without a care.

I heard a rumour but I hoped it was a lie,
From a government official with a glint in his eye.

He said the “time had come” to put the Nation at ease,
”The time had come” for us to do as we please.
We’ll re-write your memories and regain your souls,
The time had come to give you what we call ‘Pleasuretime’, for free, yeah!

I asked a face, under a big car,
He grinned with grace and said it wasn’t going far.
I asked a lady, she had a big smile,
She gave me lots of money and asked if I could stay awhile.

I stayed around a while but I didn’t see,
The government official with his eye on me.

He said the “time had come” to put the Nation at ease,
”The time had come” for us to do as we please.
We’ll re-write your memories and regain your souls,
The time had come to give you what we call ‘Pleasuretime’, for free, yeah!

Drink a cup of ‘Pleasuretime’	Drink a cup of ‘Pleasuretime’
Treat yourself and you’ll feel fine	Treat yourself and you’ll feel fine
‘Pleasuretime’ is all you need	‘Pleasuretime’ is all you need
To live your life in harmony Yey!	To live your life in harmony

A normal place, turned into happy town,
The jails are closed and doors are open all around
Nobody’s angry, nobody’s sad here,
They’re so serene, there’s no-one left to share my fears.

Am I alone, or are there others here who see,
Like the government official who keeps following me?

He said the “time had come” to put the Nation at ease,
”The time had come” for us to do as we please.
We’ll re-write your memories and regain your souls,
The time had come to give you what we call ‘Pleasuretime’, for free, yeah!

The time had come to put the Nation at ease,
The time had come for us to do as we please.
We’ll re-write your memories and regain your souls,
The time had come to give you what we call ‘Pleasuretime’, for free, yeah!
‘Pleasuretime’ is free, yeah.
