...Fools Lyrics

You want a pop song with a catchy beat

And inoffensive lyrics that you can repeat

Middle of the road, milquetoast and meek

Easier to swallow than your cup of tea

What means more to you

The comfort of lies or awkward truths

Sat with your junk food

All alone, being spoon-fed news

And they're trying to tell you

The world's not run by

Pop songs with their catchy beats

Distracting you again from reality

Meaningless, acceptable and nothing unique

And you hear, eat, cheat, bleat, sleep, repeat

What means more to you

Instant kicks or long term coups

Hooked on porn and coke and booze

And getting likes on Facebook too

Well here's another dopamine hit for

Pop songs with a catchy beat

Helping you to think that there's nothing to see

While the minister for Kafka's wildest themes

Offers you a lifetime guarantee

Of fast tracked, state backed broken dreams

Pop songs with their catchy beats

To make you feel good for two minutes or three

And once it has finished you can just hit repeat

Share it online and you can get a retweet

From liberal elites with humanities degrees

Who think the same as you and say nothing unique

And ostracise anyone who disagrees

Well who are the shepherds if we are the sheep
