No Time To Cry
In this plastic world of phony toys
Pink fairy dresses and guns for the boys.
With concrete monuments into the sky,
Artificial lawns – there is no time to cry.
We’re told we’re all worth it
As they batter us with goods
That you can all be king
In your neighbourhoods.
You can join the army
Be sent abroad to die
But they’ll distract you from asking
So you never question why.
In this plastic world of phony toys
Pink fairy dresses and guns for the boys.
With concrete monuments into the sky,
Artificial lawns – there is no time to cry.
In this meaningless sterility
You can fester away
Counting the days
To your next pay day.
In a pointless existence
You can drink yourself to death.
As long as you don’t question
Why you’re drawing your breath.
In this plastic world of phony toys
Pink fairy dresses and guns for the boys.
With concrete monuments into the sky,
Artificial lawns – there is no time to cry.
They’ll send you to the mosque
To be brainwashed and filled
With stories of afterlives
With dreams all fulfilled.
But the reality is
That we’re all being used.
It’s all power and money
As the world is abused.
In this plastic world of phony toys
Pink fairy dresses and guns for the boys.
With concrete monuments into the sky,
Artificial lawns – there is no time to cry.

As the whole world is dismantled day by day, and we are manipulated and controlled by lying politicians and religious leaders, the future is looking bleak.
The power resides in those with the wealth and power. They promise us the earth and an afterlife in order to keep us buying so they can become ever richer!
The whole world is a playground for some and hell for others.
The natural world is being decimated for short-term gain creating a plastic universe and barren deserts.
It is some future they offer us.
In a world full of trivia there is no place for real emotions.
