lyrics

In 2012 the screens appeared
Placed here for Olympic cheer
Images faster, harder, stronger
For mass consumption, mass consumption

Now months on they flicker still
Local news instead of thrill
Their shallow words they fill the air
As they beam down on empty square

It's Boris' day today, they say
It's Boris' day today

When will they go? We cannot know
Perhaps they'll go tomorrow
Perhaps in 2048 they'll be used by fascist state
or just left to rot
Ancient statues part-forgot
I feel the truth is more mundane
They will slowly melt your brain
Not through evil plot or plan
but simply through inaction
no-one's thought this through you see
but still they'll sit and show TV all day
whilst we consume in public space and never see
our neighbour's face

It's Boris' day today, they say
It's Boris' day today
