THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT 2020

Would you scrape this off and carry on eating the jam? Theresa May would.

The brisk walk of a clucking junkie

Shouty gesticulation of a woman on hands free

Roads strewn with discarded canisters, from the thrill of nitrous oxide

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

Beggars at traffic lights and sitting on pavements

Beside the cashpoint and under a bus stop

Two men on a bench sipping K Cider

Low hung trousers, walking like penguins

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

Blaring music; the sound of a wasp's nest, from the cars of low slung cliches

Riding the bus uncaring and mask-less

Immunity with the threat of knife wounds

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

The smell and the sight of a yellow chicken box

Tossed aside with careless abandon

A sign defaced with a merit-less scrawl

Another ambulance on a 999 call

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

Two dealers texting in the midst of a crisis

Two dealers texting with the cynicism of commerce

Trading on misery and an increase in crime

Nobody cares 'cos "it don't affect us"

I said, that's entertainment, that's entertainment

Lies lies lies lies lies lies

(Washington/Weller)
