Nothing to see here

See a spot

Cut down a tree

To build a house

Who cares, not me

From giant chains

I will now buy

Not local shops

Who cares, not I

More motorways

The bus routes stop

Just lot of cars

But I care not

Global warming

Most lands hit

Tidal floods

Give a shit?

You never once just

Stop and look

It’s your fault that

The planet’s fucked

But I need….

Aren’t you glad of those new expensive shoes Don’t they look great, others are so envious Don’t they make you feel like a better person I’m sure the six year old child who made them in a stiflingly hot and humid Indonesian sweatshop feels proud

Don’t you just need that juicy hamburger Won’t it just get you through the day You dream of the meat sitting lusciously in that sesame bun

Don’t think about the way the cow was herded up a plank and shot in the head, that might make you feel bad.

You’ve just got to have that new top It’s so sexy, alluring. You’ve got the right figure for it.

Men will want you, need you, adore you It’s something similar to what Rhuna is wearing.

Rhuna is a child prostitute. Her mother sold her when she was seven years old. Men want her too.

You have it. It’s your right to have what you want.

After all, you work hard for it. You scrimp and save for the bare necessities.

Why shouldn’t you have nice things After all, it shows you’ve made it in life Doesn’t it?
