Get on your mobilised hooters …Get hold of those mobilised hootersYou can fly to the moon one dayThey are half price This is not rhetoricIt comes from my heartI love this countryDaneland I am your kinYou were the ones who work togetherPut the money in the pocketsOf the few and their fortunes Who crowd the school benchesAnd jeer at us all because they don’t care about usThey are graceless and you shouldn’t be with themBecause they are all disconnected and raised up in mansionsAnd two hundred plastic bags in a whales stomachSo you turn to the tridentAre we green are we pleasant?We are not either of those FatherWe are a shaking wreck where nothing growsLost in the sky coloured oils of MerrielandYou can fly to the moon… one day The Good, The Bad & The Queen are managed by Eleven Mgmt.
