Defecting the Defects

Defecting the defects

Force fed fast fashion, we pay to advertise

Come and go pop flashes before your eyes

Unquestioning lethargy as taxes rise

The less you earn the more they take

Reality television couldn't be more fake

Here comes another commercial break

Politicians bitching in the playground

Real issues forgotten, no solutions found

Dreamt last night that George Bush drowned

'Justice' and 'fair' hold no real relation

Human voice mechanical communication

"Please press two now" causes frustration

Random drive by shootings and Rohypnol

Gang warfare, hotspurs didn't score a goal

Join our internet church and clean your soul

Drink driving left another home wrecked

Permanent rush hour, no time to reflect

Stop the ride now, I wanna defect

Sea sweeps in slowly, calming the shore

Love brings happiness rich or poor

Friends say you're not alone anymore

A stranger smiles as you cross the street

Nervous excitement as fresh lovers meet

New pair of shoes just for a treat

Songs that make you feel understood

Gestures for the pure selfless good

Raindrops trickle from off my hood

Safe warmth within this embrace

Fizzy cola bottles or strawberry lace

Hours counting all the stars in space

Laughter that makes time stand still

Curled up cat on the window sill

Favourite book and some time to chill

Pudding with extra Tate and Lyle

Old photos that still draw a smile

Leave me here, I'm fine for the while
