BOREDOM
Well, I say what I mean
I say what comes to my mind
Because I never get around to things
I live in a straight, straight line

You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, it's very humdrum
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom

Well, I'm living in this movie
But it doesn't move me
I'm the man that's waiting for the phone to ring
Hear it ring-a-ding-a-fucking-ding

You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, it's very humdrum
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom

You see there's nothing behind me
I'm already a has-been
My future ain't what it was
Well I think I know the words that I mean

You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, it's very humdrum
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom

I've taken this extravagant journey
So it seems to me
I just came from nowhere
And I'm going straight back there

You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, it's very humdrum
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom

So I'm living in this movie
But it doesn't move me
So tell me who are you trying to arouse?
Get your hands out of my trousers

You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, it's very humdrum
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom

-Howard Devoto/Pete Shelley (1977)
