Lyrics:

nail bomb the campfire singalong. this is dedicated to personalised number plates, bigoted patriots and the great british bake off. fake life but i like it enough. handcuffed to a grain of sand and standing hollow at the altar on the bed of an ocean of crude oil. package holiday snorkeling trip in a bathtub of boiling bitcoins. burning yachts for banter. kickflip into self-inflicted emotional slip knot - who's got shock factor? who's got a hex on their head? who’s got a dead uncle that walked on the moon? spoon-fed toilet daily. i say let the brave be brave and be the first to die - i'm staying well the hell away from your wars. insert dramatic pause wherever. who's had it up to the neck with old man rock band reunion tours? force-fed fallacies like animal feed in abattoirs. joke's on you… schoolboy error mate. boring global warming stories in countries we can't pronounce. bad grouting in pub toilets. and how’s about the raffling off of a boob job for a mother and daughter for father’s day? to breathe the dust of the pavements; to be amongst the clatter of cable cars, coaches, tramlines and wavering heat of the traffic signs - quivering ghost on asphalt. the lies of the lions. faded outline of gravel driveway. streetlamps hum orange to white. small town morality. tall church tower. cruel headteacher leaning in a swirl of spirit guides and cartoon fairies flapping above rockeries beside ponds in green belt commuter basins. death to developers cold-facing on the trading floor. nothing more inflammatory than minding yourself to yourself - a mating call falling on deaf ears. "chop their heads off for shoplifting", that’s what they'll be singing down the local lock-in. arms trade makes a profit. making art makes a loss. decent new haircut mate. how much did it cost?
