Mediocrity
Isn’t it surprising to see
How far we’ve come
A techno babble driven civilization
all our plastic wonder
Our steadfast synthetic
concrete society
These achievements of our centuries
Have lead us this far
To mediocrity
Mediocrity
The latest dainty
For toothless Gods to sit and savour
A thousand years of human flavour
Forget the Egyptian
Forget the Maya
The Aztec and Minoa
It’s the twentieth century and we’re all the buyer
everything’s on sale here
In mediocrity
Mediocrity
Mediocrity
Forget the Egyptian and the Maya
Forget the Moore and the Aztec
It’s the twentieth century
And all we have to offer
Is mediocrity
There is no dream left now
Nothing to aspire
Nothing to catch a breath now
Nothing to inspire
This complaining fate
We simply lie there
Skewered morsels on some heavenly fire
For the relish and the savour
Of this latest human flavour
Of mediocrity
Mediocrity
Mediocrity
And I don’t know how
If you realise
That the achievements are no surprise
If you had the power
To open your eyes
What would you see
Mediocrity
Mediocrity
Mediocrity!
Forget the Egyptian
The Aztec and the Maya
Forget Babylon and Easter Island
Forget Athens, Rome and Minoa
This is the twentieth century
And witness our slavery
Our slavery
To
Mediocrity
Mediocrity
Mediocrity
Mediocrity
Mediocrity
Mediocrity
Witness our slavery
