Invade Safe Space

Busy men with busy blueprints

Officials have decided take it all down

Smart and ugly, opposed by no-one

A super highway for the future apes

Hugs and kisses at the front door

Catching up on mail in the company car

Maybe this time I'll get a bonus

Primordial folk force fed with excess

I slept several hours on the flight

Now my bags and plans have arrived

And we give what we can to the plight

To switch all onto power before night

I made a list of materials

And gathered up a storm in the blink of an eye

All resources locked and loaded

8AM start with a battering ram

Breathe it in

Breathe it out

A diet coke for the winning team

Making phone calls at the hotel

Getting blood cells to the foreign aid

Welcome tourists

Invade safe space

And scrape away the last remains

Take snapshots

Thank God for souvenirs

Earth open for sale

Open and frail

The progress of development

Filling everything with plastic and cement

I changed a few lines on the sketches

I changed a few lines to cut the costs

(And we give what we can to the plight

To switch all onto power before night)

No link it up

Light it up!

Dig up the tombs of the foreign dead

Sentimental no good neighbours

Surrender your tradition to the modern way

Welcome tourists

Invade safe space

And scrape away the last remains

Take snapshots

Thank God for souvenirs
