A song for my band, Bikini Black Special. Modern life is rubbish.
There's little reason to believe that this thing is the next big thing when it's the next thing since we gave you all the last thing,
You've got your eye upon the future and your ear against an unattended suitcase trying to make out if it's ticking,
We'll give you fifteen seconds free of charge to get your shit together and decide at last which lane you wanna drive in,
If you've the means we have the motive and we'll happily deliver it within a three mile radius for no fee,
We sell recordings taken from a secret bootleg on a medium that won't be in the public eye for seven years yet,
We take a pirate of a copy of the source and
then we stick it through a filter on some stolen chinese hardware,
The sum of human knowledge crystallised will make a note to brings the dogs a-running from the far end of the city,
We'll make the sound that is the product of the product of the products that your credit card is begging you to buy.

Yeah you can eat it but you need to realise you take your chances when you put it in your mouth sign this disclaimer,
You called the bomb squad cause the lack of any sound could simply indicate a digital device and detonator,
These pharmaceuticals are free if you can prove that you deserve them and you'll give them all the love they need to flourish,
Just run this scanner fifteen inches from your body and a brain machine in Budapest will tell us if you qualify,
And if you take the sum of all your parts and run it through this software we can tell you when you'll die and if you're happy,
And we can offer you a lifetime guarantee that we won't sell the information on to any other party,
We're not the monsters that the media suggest and
we won't take a drop more than is stipulated in the contract,
We're just the sound that is the product of the product of the products your credit card is begging you to buy.

The clock is ticking to the future but the tick is just a sample which is triggered by electrical vibration in a crystal,
No-one's on the line there's only a recording which'll loop you through a complex set of menus 'til you're crazy, and
The system drags you back to the beginning of the call so often you'll forget the reason that you called it in the first place,
But a part of your subconscious just can't terminate the session 'cause you know someone will pick it up the moment you press cancel,
There's people standing by to be with you in less than thirty minutes have a surface ready make sure that it's sanitary,
We are not responsible for anything by clicking "I accept" you choose to take the blame for any consequences that arise,
You are our number one priority the moment that our operator finishes the credit check and processes your order,
For the sound that is the product of the product of the products your credit card is begging you to buy.
