AS THE EARTH COLLAPSES AROUND ME
AS THE EARTH COLLAPSES AROUND ME
Its quiet and cosy in my living room
As another bomb goes off in Kabul
The only sound comes from the television
While bodies get blown beyond recognition
I sit comfortably in a chair in Lagos, Nigeria
As famine comfortably rips out the heart of Somalia
I take a bite from a slice of bread not cos am hungry, slightly bored
They cry ‘just a slice of bread please Oh Lord’
I aim my finger pistol at Gaddafi on the screen
Anders Breivik starts to shoot as people scream
Just a couple of days ago, Anders and I were anonymous
Fast forward, Anders Breivik, the infamous
What would go with this cup of tea is some cakes
What they need in Japan is life without the earthquakes
I sit unperturbed sipping on tea
As the earth collapses around me!
