Ted Leo - Where Was My Brain? lyrics

I saw a future, I saw me a way Equal work, I thought, demands equal pay I heard new music on the radio I thought that gradual dissolution would be the way to go Where was my brain? Modern agriculture gave me a thrill Until I saw the things it brutally k**s Modern architecture gave me a kick Until I lived among the Brutalist bricks Where was my brain? With me all the time, getting it wrong again All the suffering evened out in the end Stars and scriptures had some things to portend Thought that I could speak my mind but avoid a fight I'd do it all and make sure everybody's doing alright And we had the best in an imperfect world We had the best of an imperfect world We had the best the best the best Where was my brain?
