DAMMIT. What! Did I miss a memo… oh whatever… Looking down on the herd from above with our no longer self- Defences and a Trident of buzzwords beneath our feet I see you In a haze of heat vision through the smokescreen from your repeated monotonization of our infernal spirit Animals; when I inhale I can hear them stampede. Sshh… Full of E Numbers, afraid of G’s and F’ing and blinding, You may think I’m a mouse but quit messing with my mind! Looking down from above while fanning the flames Adding to polemic brings out panic and hate to the pandemic I see you! In a haze of heat vision through the smokescreen from your repeated monotonization of our infernal spirit Animals; when I inhale I can hear them stampede. Sshh… Like an Elephant in the Gloom! Together we tower like an Elephant in the Gloom! Full of E Numbers, afraid of G’s and F’ing and blinding, You may think I’m a mouse but quit messing with my mind!

Is it a little too quiet up in your head Is it all too true to be good? If I’m appealing to your retrospect I’m sure you’ll have understood Is it luck is it fate do I run do I wait, Instantaneous or instigated? Is it karma is it fortune is it all too soon To know if it’s imposter syndrome? Did I Did I save it? Did I Did I mess it up? ‘It can all seem scary when you’re young But it gets easier as you get older, Mind you better get your life done now Before the nights get colder…’ Cripes! Wish I’d never asked to hear Why so many lives are amiss; I know it’s the fashion to rule through fear But this really does take the biscuit And I feel like I’m going to spontaneously combust!
