CORPORATOCRA$Y

money talks, money walks
blood spills, money kills
grasping hands, insane demands
power games, ill-gotten gains
blind faith, fail-safe
mesopotamia laid to waste
time bomb ticking on
in god’s name, what a crying shame!

hungry mouths, death shrouds
nuclear dread overhead
market forces, scarce resources
global warming, early warning
downsized, globalised
dislocated, terminated
biotech, genetic mess
GMO’s and fake logos

logging on, scrolling down
text a message, can't slow down
desktop breakfast, caffeine hit
skipping lunch, no time to quit
destress, detox
relationship is on the rocks
medication, pop a pill
wonder why it makes you ill

bulls and bears, stocks and shares
all your worst nightmares
M & A’s, FTA’s
hear-says and numbered days
focus groups, closed loops
ever feel like you’ve been duped?
legislate dissent as crime
permanent global summertime

death knell, rotten smell
whole damn planet gone to hell
the great machine on its knees
caught a terminal disease
empty spin, taken in
hair shirt dragged through the dirt
non-stop grid-lock
shareholders in the dock

carbon trading, power saving
unreality all pervading
monopoly, tautology
everything is greek to me
calamities, fatalities
hidden externalities
deunioni$ed, brutali$ed
brainwashed, airbrushed, neutrali$ed
corporatocra$y

everthing's for sale
everyone's available
every place the same
everywhere the corporation reign$
