Four minutes

Classical trumpet, vi'lin strings
In the shops they're selling things
TV, chocolate, magazines,
People live beyond their means.
Music, makeup, pleasure and wine,
Work so hard then waste your time.
Just four minutes left
Then it's all gonna go.

Looting, vi'lence, drunk in the streets,
Old ones standing, men in seats,
Light fingered workers moving slow,
Unemployed, nowhere to go.
Crooked scientists, fake results
Politicians trade insults.
Just four minutes left
But no one wants to know.
