Propaganda,
Misinformation,
Newspeak;
Word on the street.
World War three?
We'll see.
Google,
Facebook
YouTube;
Dogman,
Mothman,
UFOs and portals.
Bad,
Badder,
Worst;
Causing me to stay at home,
Like a hermit,
And jump at shadows.
I'm sick of this twisted English
Never meaning what it says
No medals for plain speaking
Ever awarded these days.
Free Cash the machine said
But it turned out to be a skank
Later on that week the B's
Took it back from my bank.
Diverted traffic this sign said
So I followed the direction around
Just a queue of angry motorist
And of diversions not a sound
This door is alarmed it says
For god's sake give it a pill
Who wants to always walk
Through doors depressed and ill
An automatic washing machine
So the price goes up a quarter
But it ain't automatic because you
Add powder, power and water
They must think we are idiots
The language tricks they try
But I suspect we are the idiots
'cos we still go out and buy.
Embrace newspeak words
poetic masturbation
I am always write
You talk of neo- liberalism
And progressive politics
They say Im left of centre
Like a sort of wonky shelf
Please oh Mr Activist , the Newspeak you can keep.
What we need more of, is a lot more Common sense
Terrorists aint freedom fighters
And what the hell is Daesh
Just a bunch of Idiots
Who’s imaginary friend as sent them ape
Please oh Mr Activist , the Newspeak you can keep.
What we need more of, is a lot more Common sense
As carbon really got a foot print
And diversity not a dance group on a show
And a honest conversation
Thats not telling someone they are as ugly as their mum
Please oh Mr Activist , the Newspeak you can keep
What we need more of, is a lot more Common sense
The voters will stop listening
And turn on their television sets
And start voting for a dancing dog
On X factor instead.
for any readers abroad diversity the name of a dance group on a uk talent show .
