lyrics

I heard this story in the nineteen seventies
That we could stop the bomb with a hundred monkeys
I went down to the sea, my fruit to wash
The beach was more crowded than Hieronymus Bosch

Been too busy, made a mess
Tarmac, concrete, all the stress
We can get by with a whole lot less
Been too busy, made a mess, made a mess

With metal and petrol go fast and far
Set a new land speed record with your racing car
Criss cross the sky with your aeroplanes
Terrify the hippies with the old chem trails

Been too busy, made a mess
Tarmac, concrete, all the stress
We can get by with a whole lot less
Been too busy, made a mess, made a mess

The cranes lift the buildings up into the sky
The people in the penthouse they are getting so high
Think they’re all safe like a rabbit in a hutch
They don’t feel nothing cos they’re way out of touch

Been too busy, made a mess
Tarmac, concrete, all the stress
We can get by with a whole lot less
Been too busy, made a mess, made a mess

The sea is gonna rise, the sun is gonna burn
There is no escape, we can all take turns
Living in a bubble it will do no good
You’ll never survive without water or food

Been too busy, made a mess
Tarmac, concrete, all the stress
We can get by with a whole lot less
Been too busy, made a mess, made a mess

Future students of archaeology
Will be so confused by the daily billion selfies
People so obsessed with looking at themselves
Never realised we were living in hell

Been too busy, made a mess
Tarmac, concrete, all the stress
We can get by with a whole lot less
Been too busy, made a mess, made a mess

Slow down, slow it down
Slow down, we are going down
