scientists from Switzerland say that the French have missed a trick the old man might have been poisoned that winter in '04 we're not sure he was a good man but that's really not the point if a leader can't have justice then who can? insignificant polonium the truth lies in the bone I am not much impressed with your findings insignificant polonium with radon in the bone I am not too convinced by soil samples Arafat is yesterday's news we'll conduct our studies far away grave much too balmy for our instruments nuclear scientists all too absent I feel this study lacks some rigour it's almost as if they didn't want to find a thing insignificant polonium this whole thing is baloney and it's as if there's some vested interests insignificant polonium the truth lies in the bone I am not much impressed with your findings

we've got equality for women and the gays so long as you can pay your way we've got racial harmony (for the middle classes?) (so long as you don't talk about racism) so welcome to the 21st century many delights for you and me introverted technology got to buy one get one free the Chinese have landed a rover on the Moon maybe they'll send another one soon NASA can't afford to keep their ships in the sky but they'll have a man on Mars, by and by we've all got the Internet but where the fuck's my flying car? Back To The Future throwbacks fake flying skateboards for advertising so welcome to the 21st century many delights for you and me introverted technology got to buy one get one free got to buy one get one free got to buy one get one free we're so advanced here in the future
