I have a problem
I ordered a book
It hasn’t arrived yet
I’m afraid it’s lost
I searched every bookshop
I looked all over town
But after a long investigation
I found an online vendor with a decent ethics score
So I contact the vendor
They say to call the shipping service
The problem is that each shipping service
Has subdivided itself into several services
We’ve uberised ourselves to hell and back
We’ve amazoned ourselves right into the wall
No more public health, no more transportation
We’ve micro-managed everything to ultra-crap
A so-called convenience
That runs on servers in Iceland
I wish I had found that book
Anywhere but here

Canadian ducks invading us
Stealing all the jobs from our hard-working ducks
Don’t you find them slightly more aggressive
Don’t you find them slightly more lazy
Canadian ducks, they’re so noisy
Quacking all night, keeping us awake
They’re just too different,
They just don’t get along
So shoot them on sight
So we’ll be safe from Canadian ducks

There’s no more bees, we’re getting cancer from our food
The people who know the most about me
Are Russian bots
How many children does it take
To build an iphone, I forget
That needs replacing every couple of years
Thanks to software updates
In the darkness of the bus, your blue light annoys me
I’m tired of all this innovation
I don’t care if my fridge talks to my watch
All my childhood friends are deliveroo riders
In the darkness of the bus, your blue light annoys me

Is there a place you wouldn’t burn down
To make a buck and turn a profit?
Is there a site you wouldn’t plunder
To come out on top and assert your power?
Is there anyone you wouldn’t step on
In order to climb a little bit higher?
Is there a sky you wouldn’t turn to
And wonder if its assets are worth obtaining?
Is there a human trait you haven’t researched
To keep us addicted to your latest gizmo
Is there a sea you haven’t chartered
To build a stupid biodome or driverless jet ski
Driverless cars, driverless tanks
Driveless men with driverless guns
If I’m not mistaken this can only end well
And in case you can’t tell, yes I’m being sarcastic

When you’ve been disappointed again and again
When explanations are lame
You’ve been fooled more times than you can count and
You’re tired of finding excuse
When all your patience has been worn down and
Your goodwill has been run dry
Maybe it’s time to take a step aside
Change is often for the best
If you don’t feel you can verbalise
Then something’s probably wrong
And if you find you’re second-guessing every word
You’ll never feel protected
It can take time to learn your boundaries
You’ll know them when they’ve been crossed
And even if you put up with a lot
Sometimes enough is enough
I hope most people are decent people
Some things are over and it doesn’t matter
Some things are over and it’s for the better
There’s no shame in getting away
When you’re in a bad situation
