Depth Charge


Have we really dropped that low, that we spend our Friday evenings,
Watching Z-listers making fools of themselves?
And about this kinda time, a racial slur or tart opinion,
Will make a mega-star and gain a fond farewell.

When did we become a nation of idiots,
Thinking yoghurt has magical properties?
I think it’s about time we found some self-respect.

Depth charge, the moron revolution.
Before I explode, the media confusion.
This attitude has got to go.

Have we really dropped that low,
That we spend out lunch break reading,
About who’s dieting, and who’s gotten fat.
And 60 useless things, for 60 hard-earned pence,
And this is what you’ve got to say in your defence:
“And now I’ve got my face, on the cover of some fancy magazine,
The tears and tales of death-threats are all part of the routine”.

Nutrisse doesn’t mean nourish, and grease ain’t the word I’m looking for,
A consonant Carol, this one’s a D for Depth Charge

We’ve reached a stage where fashion dictates,
And overweight make profit from their mistakes.
My conscience is a ticking time bomb.
We need a world where passion negates;
A statement of our tolerance, where greed depreciates.
