Reap What You Sow
Bulldoze the soul of an ancient city
Tear down stones of ancestry
Dedicate new temples to an economy
Zombie-ites on a 24/7 shopping spree
Masses voting, thinking their free
Surrounded by cold of steel an glass
Do they ever reflect our past ?
No time to think, all move to fast
Disposable icons never meant to last
Fickle generations die has been cast
Some kids starving to follow a hero
Fashion pimps pushing deadly size zero
No more wonder, no more magic
Worship Gods of rectangular plastic
Avarice an greed so automatic
Lust and money divinely monastic
Fall for the crap in a glossy magazine
Money for nothing, the X Factor dream
Mighty Mega Burgers, just obscene
Fat fuckers waddling in size 18
Skinny jeans only look good on the lean
Its all getting so much harder
Run away, become a self harmer
Shit for brains, a walking sleeper
All lined up for the Grim Reaper
Do me a favour
Next time
Cut that little bit deeper
B.O.G.O.F funerals so much cheaper
