one of Heidi Heidelberg’s ironic ditties to adorn the economic depression
Industrial Revolution
We’re gonna pack up our things, go Australia
We’re running away to where the weather is better
Live for the day down in Africa!
We had our revolution
Industrial revolution
Now I’m going blind
Can’t see a thing
Because I spent all my days in front of a screen
Skin’s getting thin
I aint got no vitamins
a-min, I’m in…I’m getting out!
We’re gonna pack up our things, go Australia
We’re running away to where the weather is better
Live for the day down in Africa!
Now I can’t see earth under my feet
Because I’m walking along, along the concrete
You tell me to be green, but you give me grey
Saying “Carpe diem!” (live for your pay)
Now I’m getting away!
Nice little country we’ve all got degrees
And when we grow up we’ll be secretaries
Typing for a company that made itself a job
Just to sell its useless services to other pointless knobs!
We’re gonna pack up our things, go Australia
We’re running away to where the weather is better
Live for the day down in Africa!
