vox pops - the dowling poole lyrics

outside the superstore the camera crew command the floor
the lights and sound are ready for the public tirade
asking for a point of view but trimmed to size to fit the cue
and though the subject’s complicated
thinking on their thoughtless feet, underlined by endless tweets
the easily misled repeat the bile they consume
immigration, you decide, the politics of genocide
the questions keep a coming so *

keep those engines fired
when the conversation starts to flag, i’m glad you asked
thoughtful and inspired and in consequence we’re
free to think – exactly what we’re told to think

risible beyond contempt, the squawking of the malcontent
the temperature will rise with nothing more than hot air
whipped up to a minor storm, the mewlings of the ill informed
will fill a thirty second slot
and no*one who connects the dots who understands the central plot
will make it any further than the cutting room floor
dumbed*down, simplified, wired, placated, patronised
and just to show we’ve understood, we’ll

chorus

pleased to see my stupid face plastered over every tv screen
as though my dumb opinions made a difference at all
years of lies – misinformation, taken in, regurgitate
i’ll spit it out on cue, so
chorus

keep the conversation short and sweet
and we’ll pretend you had a point to make
and here’s your chance to have a say
keep those engines fired, the conversation starts to drag
i’m really glad you asked my thoughts and views
i haven’t thought this through but i’m pleased to be asked
