The Queue at the Chemists

Lyrics

How can I be expected To care About an abstract and nebulous problem like a dying planet When I'm forced to queue for over 20 minutes To replenish my cod-liver oil stocks at the chemists? Let's discuss the merits of our lunches in minute detail Complain how a particular colleague failed to reply to a particular email I will seethe at inconveniences as long as I'm able And try to forget all the famine till it touches my table And try to forget all thе famine till it touches my table Contеnt to reduce perception to a singular pixel Content to let all sights inducing feelings of guilt become blinkered Nurse and nurture your grudges Spend time trying to right minor wrongs Muddle along as bombs melt in the sun Did you believe the bell-bottomed free-loving tree-huggers? No, I didn't either It kind of felt like we should maybe do something but in the end doing nothing seemed a lot easier As we fell to our knees and pleaded a woman in a white coat screamed at us "You fools! A virus cannot reason with a fever!" A virus cannot reason with a fever
