  • I drink and watch the zoo in motion
    Beautiful people devoid of emotion
    Sterilized, pedicured, pedigrees and mankind
    Thick as fuck and soulless
    And no longer fear genocide
    It's gonna end from what I reckon
    As I puke my guts up all over the decking
    'Cause the square reeks of plastic action man
    And Poundshop Kardashians

    How am I supposed to change it?
    If I can't see the wood for the trees?
    How am I supposed to change it?
    If I can't see the wood for the trees?

    There's an orange faced baby at the wheel of the ship
    Doing donuts in the carpark
    We watch as it all falls apart
    We idolize idiots
    Masturbate to their sex tapes

    We love them we hate them
    We want to see them fall from grace
    We laugh at them disheveled
    On the front page of The Mail

    Then grab ourselves a pitchfork and go in for the kill
    Together light vigils
    Eulogize them on the Internet when they top themselves
    When they couldn't take it no more

    How am I supposed to change it?
    If I can't see the wood for the trees?
    How am I supposed to change it?
    If I can't see the wood for the trees?

    And how are we supposed to change it?
    When we can't see the wood for the trees
    When we can't see the wood for the trees
    If we can't see the wood for the trees Writer/s: Sam Fender
