When I'm depressed you'll find me dressed
In waste disposal grey
In frigid blue I'll tell you bleak's
My favourite cliché

Industrial and minimal are
The things that make today
Throw out your plans I tell you bleak's
My favourite cliché

I've had my bad teeth taken out
My eyes stare far away
I like a SHRIEK I tell you bleak's
My favourite cliché

My favourite cliché
It's very bleak today
My favourite cliché
It's very bleak today

Bleak bleak bleak bleak
It's very bleak today
It's so European
Bleak bleak
It's very bleak today

It's so european
Bleak bleak bleak
It's so european
