Lock them in for the kill
Hope you reap a cheap thrill
Next day’s nugatory news
About a z-lister bill
Hard house, techno, ambient and trance
Chemically, surgically, virtually enhanced
So stick some twats, in a flat, on the TV
Then pass it off
As some kind of reality
The rich puppeteers
In the muppet trade
Flogging off the flowers
That can’t grow in the shade
Getting jaded by the goody girl
She’s a millionaire, you know
From mouthing off on screen
On some schadenfreude show
Here’s the has-beens
Burning to be seen
Do us all a favour, know what I mean
Fickle and callow
New depths in shallow
Well, it’s all zoom-zoom
In the “VIP” room
Gasping for air in the pabulum vacuum
In the viper pit
Replete with reptiles
Affected aspirations
Sybaritic style
Let’s all hear it all now
For the airbrushed fakers
The snake-oil men
And the free-lunch takers
Give them LCD for their LCDs
Beware cathode rays, bearing mind disease
Peter, Jordan
Wedding bells
Make a lovely couple
Of brain cells
Because you’ve got to get your lover on the cover, don’t you baby?
Hello! OK!
I’ve got my story to sell
Do I hear a higher bidder for my kiss and tell
Because you’ve got to wear your heart on the sleeve
Getting jaded by the goody girl
She’s a millionaire, you know
From mouthing off on screen
On some schadenfreude show
Here’s the has-beens
Burning to be seen
Do us all a favour, know what I mean
Brain to marshmallow
New depths in shallow
