Song meaning as told by Jon: "That's one of the more cynical moments of the album. It came from sitting around watching tv with my girlfriend and thinking that we could be doing so much more with our lives. That to me is the most hysterical 'fuck you' to the way the system is at the moment. It's funny but mean at the same time". (Real Groove, September 1999)

<pre>
I trust the police and the government

Suck down corporate sentiment

Home for dinner, watch TV

Caught in the middle of a shopping spree


My mind's sedate x8


Home entertainment and a boring car

(My mind's sedate)

If I try to run, I wouldn't get that far

(My mind's sedate)

Extract the venom, spit it over the shoulder

(My mind's sedate)

I'm a victim of a 'sally make-over'


My mind's sedate x8


You can't run away

If you don't have a brain

Deal with it


It's alright...is it?


I trust the police and the government

Suck down corporate sentiment

Home for dinner, watch TV

Caught in the middle of a shopping spree


My mind's sedate x8


You can't run away

If you don't have a brain

Deal with it


You gotta deal with this

My mind's sedate
