about

A very clever acronym.

lyrics

Satisfy yourself with a fawning desire.
Deify the upper class because of their attire.
The only way to live is perpetually
Out of reach so content yourselves with what’s on your T.V.

We glorify a lifestyle championed as reality,
when it can’t be further from the lives of the majority.
Is everybody happy just to sit back and watch
a bunch of self-entitled climbers tally up another notch,
to accommodate an extra figure on a receipt.
from an accountant sending money to be left out at sea?

I’m tryin’ to get my head around ‘#selfie’,
Geordie Shore and Made In Chelsea;
Inspiring a generation to become
blissfully unaware of what’s going on.

We glorify this lifestyle championed as reality;
we know it can’t be further from the lives of the majority.
Is everybody happy just to sit back and watch
a bunch of self-entitled climbers tally up another notch,
to accommodate an extra figure on a receipt
from an account sending money to be left out at sea?
