What you gonna do when the river runs dry?
Put your drills in the mud? And death up in the sky?
You shoulda saved those bottles. You shoulda saved those cans
You shouldn't oughta listened to the plastic man.
And there's no toilet paper, It's gone like the trees
Do you like the taste of honey? It's best without the bees.
Be careful what you're doing. You're messingup my life.
And if the world's a cake then you cut too big a slice.

What's it all about? They scream and shout.
Don't ask me cos I don't know.
What's it all about? They scream and shout.
Don't blame me. I told you so.

You read it in the papers, you hear it on the news
Very few listen, a spew without a view.
And is it really worth it, choking on remote?
I see the red tide coming but I don't even vote.
Infection in the greenhouse, dizzy in the clouds,
Oily as an ocean, heaven disemboweled.
Still planning on a future, we lucky for some
You can develop your body, but your mind is still a slum.

The product in the package of multi-layered glam
150 types of material to cover up a sham
Protecting my planet, wrap it up in plastic
The package is the product perfected eternal
a crap in cling wrap.

I've never met a prime minister or president who told the truth, yet.

Swimming in the slurry, burning in the heat
Wind blown is the weather, I eat what you excrete.
Climb the highest derrick, this circus has no prayer
No UFO to save us. And do we really care?

What's it all about? They scream and shout.
Don't ask me cos I don't know.
What's it all about? They scream and shout.
Don't blame me. I told you so.

Hey batty, are these the lyrics from the band listed on your current music (Public Image Limited)? If so, do you have any info on them? I like this.

P.I.L. was formed by John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) in the early 80s and after the breakup of The Sex Pistols. The music style is a mix of post punk and heavy beats that eventually became techno. The Chemical Bros. were innovative? They sound like early PIL.

The lyrics always have a point, and it is usually anger directed at something.

PIL have disbanded by Lydon is still producing albums in the same vein.

It is a rather pessimistic view, and one I do not share.

But it does seem to put the "mental" in "environmental". ];-)
