about

A track co-written with Charlie Evans, describing the flood of idiocy rooting from "yolo $wag", Katie Price and tabloids - with articles about.. Katie Price.

It was unusually inspired by our friend revising biology - from such a standard activity we have created a dramatic expression of our outlook on today's flawed society.

It was only recorded in two takes, so it is bound to have imperfections. Nevertheless, hope you enjoy and support us by buying and sharing!

lyrics

1) The scent of burning books,
Sends shivers down my spine
I get the strangest looks,
From those who think it's fine

2) Tabloids invade knowledge,
And conquer common shelves
I try hard to forage,
And learn things for myself

BRIDGE:

As books' pages are ripping,
Idiocy is gripping

CHORUS:

You've taken what is mine,
For the very last time
My heart, my soul, my brain won't confine,
Ignorance; celebrity news - let's draw the line.

3) Number one books by Katie Price,
I don't know how I'll sleep tonight,
Our cultural values are sinking today,
They're sinking deep, in Fifty Shades of Grey (ey,ey)
