lyrics

A boy stumbles down the main streets, in this decaying little city surrounded by brands and advertisements.
Asks the passers by for change but offering no change in himself and his down and out ways.
Macdonald's vouchers on the back of rip off bus fares, a partnership in the rise of overweight scheme dwellers. Priced out of the centres but brought in to the city buy the chain shop chains on there wrists. The future looks the same as the past and in present they sleep walk from one day to the next. Shut off from decision making shut down from the industry takings the life that once lived here was prosperous. It's a far cry from luxury when boredom propels the worst in everything they see the meaning of poverty gets re-defined every 6 to 8 weeks. They'll be fighting over TV screens every black Friday is that the brightest day they will ever see.

Tragedy over tragedy, Modern Macbeth's hiding behind poppies.
Distraction to the masses who don't want to know what's happening.
Interviews with alarming rates of questions never answered.
Answers swapped for sound bites like shoddy car salesmen trying to sell cuts to the nation to line their own pockets and pretend it's our salvation
corruption in every single corner that you see and your only hope is to pick one that seems slightly more clean

A boy get stabbed out in broad daylight
The wrong place the wrong time not specifically the place being the planet he's brought into the time being now
Now is the time to spend your sweet nothings away live forever in a slow decay
Now is the time to put your Hope's on the line and see how many stretch beyond shopping market shelves
Now is the time to see daily atrocities and feel nothing do nothing there's nothing to be done anyway I'm sure its getting dealt with sink another pint can and switch to futilitarian
