All that's rotten in this world



fat cats and plutocrats 
industrialists and autocrats 
billionaires and bureaucrats 
always on the take

racists and conspiracists 
terrorists and narcissists 
fascists, white supremacists 
never take a break

web hackers, corporate frackers 
rioters and truth attackers 
hijackers, anti-vaxxers
they don’t feel no shame

sociopathic conscience lackers 
psychopaths and people whackers 
drug abusing gun attackers 
we know who’s to blame

crooked politicians lying 
while there’s people out there dying 
line their pockets, not resigning 
lead a merry dance

sea polluters, oil spillers 
arms dealers, serial killers 
living in their luxury villas 
in the south of France

wall scaling stalkerazzi 
member of the paparazzi 
he’s a telephoto Nazi 
breaking every code 

broker playing kamikaze 
in his shiny Maserati 
texting mates while drinking latte 
menace on the road 

fanatic climate change deniers 
culture gods and false messiahs
reprobates and other liars
excuse me while I hurl

narcotics dealers and their users 
pornographers and cheating boozers 
bullies, thugs and child abusers 
all that’s rotten in this nasty screwed up world

No picnic

If you go down
To the woods today
You'll find
That they're not the same.

The trees are all gone
The land is stripped bare
And you and me
Are to blame.

For everybody in the UK
Is going down
For a Big Mac today

Today's the day
We're swapping the forests
For beef steak.




Midnight
