Latest Run

by Ed or Ian Henderson   Aug 29, 2008


There's murder in the air tonight.
The tolerant are reading of the current horrors,
And they're feeling alone.
They'll not march twenty strong.
The charges are up, but nobody's charging.
Intolerance cannot be tolerated,
But tolerances are media friendly,
And the news is...
The news is not good.
Debt, recession, war, celebrity obsession,
These are the eye-openers.
These are the worms out of cans,
Out of Hollywood, London, and Paris.
These are the worms, out of Cannes.
So set aside your indignant apathy just for a moment,
The ads are almost over, and Springer'll be back.
Question the honest, and ignore the liars.
Who has most to hide, behind the day's latest run?
