We dined on caviar And famine in Europe Seemed most unlikely The world began to burn We watched the queues lengthen As the poor queued at foodbanks But our Ocado deliveries Continued nonetheless Rebellious types protested And journeys took longer Really very annoying We hoped that they’d be jailed The news was full of Amber And next season’s fashions Ukraine, Yemen and Gaza Were very far away Life went on as normal The monkeypox came to us The insects died in millions And we started then to fear Life went on as normal The sea levels were rising But that is in the future? And still the world burned Life went on as normal But food was more expensive The poor were still hit hardest And still the world burned Life went on as normal We began to see the die off We still had ***** and burgers And still the world burned Life began change as We knew we should have acted Food was getting scarcer And still the world burned And still the world burned And still the world burned And still the world burned.
