Having a shower after watching the News Headlines

It’s all about the 40^th lime

And how I should rub my head with coconut butter

And every person wasting £400 of food a year

And other big headline claims

And I say

“Is that £400 of food from Aldi or from M&S?”

Who cares, it’s all cow pies to Desperate Dan

And it’s phosphorous bombs and child witches

And it’s Helmand Province and Hellman’s Mayo

It’s Taliban and Rayban

And all the time

We’re walking with one foot in the gutter

One step away from despair and fear

And isn’t it ourselves to blame

And I say

Looking at the horror and excess

Isn’t the greatest enemy of mankind, man?
