Are you serious?
Oh...you are! Abecedarian.

are you serious?
blimey, you are
can't make this up
deceptive and manipulative
enabling malnutrition and suffering
ferociously elitist
grotesquely classist
how do you sleep at night?
in luxury, of course
just, don't think too hard
kids whose mum's can't eat and heat their home
life's a bed of nails, for them
money's tight, for them
not their fault, system rotten
opulence all around you
privilege and opportunity
quit suggesting you care
reality has set on us all
society crumbling
traditional values
underminded and undervalued
venison tonight?
wash it down with bubbly?
xyster to our bones
you scourge us at your
zenith
