At the bus stop on Praed Street Just arrived on the train Awaiting the bus, in drizzly rain
On the opposite side Outside Paddington station Is the evidence that we are a fast food nation
Burger King, Le gourmet brasserie, Chelsea deli, KFC, Subway, La Taarza cafe, Bagel factory, Costa, Chicken cottage, Bonne Bouch, Victors cafe I can't see much more But there are further food stores
We must be obsessed With coffee and food Can this be good?
Our waist lines are growing Our pockets are empty Yet there's fast food a plenty
There must be a market They are filling a need Is it our laziness or greed?
