DESCRIPTION:
ARTIFICIAL PEACE - "Wasteland" - from Flex Your Head compilation, Dischord Records (1981)


I'm walking down a darkened street

Ignoring everyone I meet

Won't speak to them, they can't see me

In isolated apathy

We've got two cars and four T.V.s

My whole life is planned out for me

I'll get a job and get a wife

In the wasteland I'll spend my life

I'm living in a suburban wasteland

Sterile walls close in on me

Pre-fab junkyard, suburban wasteland

I can't get out, I can't get free

I'll see my shrink three times a week

And lean on him, so I stay weak

And if I find I still can't cope

I'll tranquilize myself with dope.
