Business-As-Usual Undresses The Nation

Pandemic ended Thursday
when I sniffed ket off your tits
and shouted ‘’giddy up bitch’’

we’re again trying to gain Leo’s respect
so let’s get up on that Monday morning
and hit it harder than a body
hits the bottom of a k-hole
none of this free medicine,
right to housing,
dole

none of that now
back at it again,
capitalism is friend

if we live stream the vulture funds
slapping Micheáls arse in the backroom
(at lunchtime of course)
we can increase revenue by fifteen percent,
open the jaws of the landlords
and get them to regurgitate that again,
(à la baby bird)

this circulated money
fifteen times reseen
but never heard of
or wrote down
just miraculously
moved around
will benefit you
normal people

exactly like the show, yes,
now back to work little labourers,
no talking between yourselves.
