Ducklings

[Verse]

The planet's broken

But you wouldn't notice

Because you take all your photos in portrait mode

With the background blurred

So the fire engulfing this town is akin

To an Instagram sunset

Editing reality

Everything inside of me

Is telling me that yelling that you might get through eventually

Tricks work, for all chameleons, and

Death comes, to all comedians

Your fallacy of fantasy is filtered through a little screen

Shop what letters say

Will letters be anything but consumers

Users to the future

Of all but the capitalists?

Matе, life is expensivе

Coughing all the smoke from your Instagram lungs

Has it gone too far

Or is it still fun?

Living within a construct

Laugh at what they tell you

(Laugh, laugh, laugh, (?))

[Chorus]

The fish at the uni

Eat all the ducklings

They don't put that in the prospectus

There's liars on the internet

Who read like you're baiting our breath

There's nearly no one left to protect us

[Verse]

ADHD is a real diagnosis;

Don't believe the media hyperactivity

I'm in the vicinity

Of human beings breaking their minds

Like a sport on the daily

I'm inside

Is that a good use of limited time?

Or should I see the sunlight?

Probably. Will it ever work?

"Keep politics out of pubs," said the bloke in the Clash T-shirt

Fast fashion, fast fascism

Humanity is staring down the chasm of a loveless future

Live-streamed to YouTube

Which life will you choose?

I'm off to buy a kilogram of fish food

[Chorus]

The fish at the uni

Eat all the ducklings

They don't put that in the prospectus

There's liars on the internet

Who read like you're baiting our breath

There's nearly no one left to protect us

[Bridge]

Can't choke on a sunset

I swear it's a sunset

Can't choke on a sunset

I swear it's a sunset

[Chorus]

The fish at the uni

Eat all the ducklings

They don't put that in the prospectus

There's liars on the internet who read like you're baiting our breath

There's nearly no one left to protect us
