Industrial Revolution

6 Jun

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!
