Busy men with busy blueprints
Officials have decided take it all down
Smart and ugly, opposed by no-one
A super highway for the future apes
Hugs and kisses at the front door
Catching up on mail in the company car
Maybe this time Ill get a bonus
Primordial folk force fed with excess
I slept several hours on the flight
Now my bags and plans have arrived
And we give what we can to the plight
To switch all onto power before night
I made a list of materials
And gathered up a storm in the blink of an eye
All resources locked and loaded
8AM start with a battering ram
Breathe it in
Breathe it out
A diet coke for the winning team
Making phone calls at the hotel
Getting blood cells to the foreign aid
Welcome tourists
Invade safe space
And scrape away the last remains
Take snapshots
Thank God for souvenirs
Earth open for sale
Open and frail
The progress of development
Filling everything with plastic and cement
I changed a few lines on the sketches
I changed a few lines to cut the costs
(And we give what we can to the plight
To switch all onto power before night)
No link it up
Light it up!
Dig up the tombs of the foreign dead
Sentimental no good neighbours
Surrender your tradition to the modern way
Welcome tourists
Invade safe space
And scrape away the last remains
Take snapshots
Thank God for souvenirs
