I’ve never subscribed to the idea that footballers and those in the public eye are role models
I find the ethos of relegated responsibility somewhat bothering
It’s like a claustrophobic homeless guy praying for a fitted coffin to sleep in without dying
If all in the public eye are role models
Then we should all be bothered about being role models for the eyes that are forever spying
For we are watched and listened to by a government that is more corrupt than a tabloid journalist
Maybe they should teach reality television contestants how not to behave depraved
Or hadn’t anyone thought of this
Everyday is another day to be sensationalist
Seems to find a good news story every word has to be floodlit
Not that it would make a difference
The difference would be minimal as we’re cynical as it is
Maybe half the nation would sing praises to God if we
Slapped non entities we call celebrities
Out of the perennial hypnosis
Crushed the bed of roses called their ego’s
And turned it into the perfume of mass indulged sanity
For if we
Allow the permutation of a thespian nation
We’d breed the complex equation of a virtualised nation
That every song seemed to create for 2001
Nostradamus got mixed up with some of his predictions
It was us humans and not computers who were infected with the millennium bug
We crashed and powered down like time
How many of us read wide
Analyse more than the tabloids
Becoming mathematicians of the prosaic kind
Or are we just waddling around on a see food diet
Never dissecting or translating in case of offending
Though we have a basic right to constructively criticise
We love the dirty pretty things
I guess fantasy is now real life
Every word we speak has to look and feel right
Even test the audience temperature before even sees light
I guess Nescafe should be a bigger sponsor than Nike
Its gonna be a Starbucks society
Unless we realise the real lies and
Reorganise for real life
