They don’t count on progress To find happiness, And their b’liefs are too backward and strange to discuss. There’s no doubt at all About who’s off the wall: It’s obviously them never mind us. As culture’s what we’ve got While others have not, Our programme’s restricted to self-interest. We gamble their health And plunder their wealth And their freedoms and rights without protest. Our passion for upgrade Demands a crusade, An idea that crusaders can’t see their way past. And to do what we should Is a notion of good We can’t live with from supper to breakfast. Was progress a falsehood? It doesn’t look good. Our hi-tech dominion may not survive. D’you think they’ll impart, From some goodness of heart, A method of staying alive? Powered by bactrax.org.uk |
