The festival was the best of all
Until he got smacked in the privates unacceptable
Conscience as clear as an icicle
Mind as stable as a falling bicycle
Twice as small he felt ludicrous
Cyphers filtered way beyond dubious
Less talent than Sage, B or Scroobius?
Inobvious - illuminous
Non-numinous no Peruvian
Respect the culture and the experience
No need to be getting all delirious
The results here could be extremely deleterious
Seriously though trying to push mind and feeling way too slow
Got to let go of these hectic fly-flows
These lead to high lows, side shows and minds blown
Wish I could say this is all stuff I know
(But I seem to learn far too slow)
Chop-neck protect the beasts in the nature park
Dot-com-post they’ll call him Hashmark
Brain drain ingrained we rush to the city
Too deep in our sleep to notice the shitty
Petty politically motivated intentions
High-handed arrogant contraventions
Pedantic bio-constricting conventions
Future nihilists with useless inventions
Alright-let's see
Can we be all that we can be?
Okay-let's see
Is it time for a change of scenery?
His consciousness, he was lost in it
And he wasn't yet aware of the full cost of it
Integrity as mired as the military
Failing fast without the facility of
Empathy lost in the ether
Ego inflamed worse than his urethra
Less standard than a De La or Latifah
Too often lost in the land of no belief
Payment upon receipt no repeats
Respect the passion and the technique
No chance to be resting on conceit
More unstable than the new commander in chief
The blessed relief I push my mind to the background
Mangled language that we can't salvage
Knowledge scavenged to no advantage
Wish I could say this isn't just semantics
(still naive and romantic)
Dumb-down confound the ghosts of the future past
Big bad wolf him'll take them apart
Millennial angst won't be crushed by the tanks
Our eyes are glazed as we're enslaved by the banks
Ranks of the sociopaths' psychopath henchmen
High-handed, arrogant, presumptuous
Pedantic, bio-constructing contentious
Future nihilists with wicked intentions
Alright-let's go
What will make us make it so?
Okay-let's go
It's time to realise just what we know

Carbon Slaves

Undeniably mistakes have been made
Air-conditioned, we've become carbon slaves
An arousal of advertisers
Planting ideas for the mixed bean counters
All mouth and well creased trousers
Sacrificing hundreds to save a mere five thousand
Islands dressed up, beauty marred, nature messed up
Unaware of the inevitability
Being ground down by the weight of entropy
Not sure when we stopped functioning as moral entities
Face to the facts- this is now our reality
Our reptilian ancestry
Precludes our new philosophies
Undeniably mistakes have been made
We've become air-conditioned carbon slaves
It's obvious - only time will tell
Can anyone survive this man-made hell
Tensions rise in the Middle East
Sand and sweat as temperatures increase
Bombing for peace could be our slogan
Dead-weight we don't stop for no-one
Arrogance and stupidity
Denies any positivity
A little cooperation would be nice
Recall that this world isn't just for your delight
My body is a temple - a fucking waste of space
In this modern era of hate and data rape
Work hard to boost the economy
Subsume yourself for the good of the plutocracy
Is it me? Or have we made our own worldwide cemetery?
Ironically progress is anathema
Politicians are just like a catheter
Stab you... whilst taking the piss out of ya...
Our reptilian ancestry
Precludes our new philosophies
Arrogance and stupidity
Denies any positivity
Undeniably mistakes have been made
Air conditioned
We've become carbon slaves

Flies

Is it me?
Or is everyone just mesmerised
Open up your eyes
Stop consuming all these fucking lies – you’re
Inflated with unfounded national pride, whilst
Idiot taxes take us all for a ride
Their ends and our means are forced to coincide as
TV and internet keeps us all inside
Don't notice as the wildlife dies
Erosion of the countryside
We’ve become
Chained zombies too tired for suicide
No one acknowledges artistic cries
Let the scales fall down from your eyes
Fast food feeds as freedom fries
Sex sells and boredom buys
Despairing lows and illegal highs
In futile fashion we all comply
Dressed the same but atomised
Well it’s
Dog eat dog grasping for the prize
Racist sentiment on the rise
Mass media moguls metastasise
Spewing shit and we're all flies

London Eye

Blind and unjustified the London eye
As tourists swing their selfie sticks
Tweeting soulless grinning empty snaps
Click foolish leering digital vanity pics
Spiders in crenellated cracks
Suck out the life of latter nations
Enwebbed the empire's pyrrhic grasp
Dissolution from its own creations
In the chambers down below
Lords are thrown a thousand subtle steers
The ghostly written ministrations
Of multi-mask'ed puppeteers
Webs to distract and deceive
Shadows behind our leaders dance
Cannibal capitalism psychopathic
The common man is bound entranced
The world divided furtively
The hidden hands that call the shots
Distraction and deception
They sell us freedom in a box
Beneath the bridge dark rivers stream
Bubbles murmur Summer's day
The sands of time and history's dream
Past glories echo far away
