lyrics

We roam around department stores,
Searching for things we can't afford.
Getting lost in a world of cultural beigeness,
And other futile things like avocado holders.

Creativity died when it became googlable and binged,
I even search termed that remark to see if it's already a thing.
We laugh off everyone who seems mundane,
Especially those with expensive taste.

And we say,
Imagine being able to dress head to toe,
In Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Moschino.

At the time of writing, Kim K's just dyed her hair blonde,
And my friends keep telling me that the media have done wrong.
By giving her the attention they fuel her lucrative future,
Whilst her omni-presence spawns a generation of culturally inferior types.

But wait,
Imagine being told what you can or can't like cos someone said so.
Imagine being told you can't appreciate music cos you don't like the rolling stones.
Sure - snobbery becomes more rife as you get old.
But we should probably try to get it under control.

Friends, you sing a petty song.
Friends, you sing a petty song.
Friends, you sing a petty song.
Oh I, too, sing a petty song.
