In These So Like, Like So, So Like Times



Kids on smartphones
Language crude
Monotonal clicking fast full food
I think I'm going right out of my mind In these so like, like so, so like times!

Parents on computer games
Proper parlance on the wane
Teatime telly, muted minds
In these so like, like so, so like times!

Boyfriends leave girlfriends
And vice versa fights
They complain of their pain
And yet not earned the right Abbreviate their fate WTF
Not so sublime
In these so like, like so, so like times!

Booby traps expensive daps
Out on display
Baseball caps on heads of chaps
On the wrong way
Uttering high-pitched end of sentences crime
In these so like, like so, so like times!

Street lights shine
Through vast vape smoke hues Distorting blotted skin
Of mass queer tattoos
"OMG" say's she
"That's like so, so like mine"
In these so like, like so, so like times!

Naff chat show hosts
On late night TV
Wearing suits louder than loud
And like clowns not funny
Hollywood stars saying so like you guys
In these so like, like so, so like times!

Take me back seven scores plus ten
Not necessarily war
But when women and men
Danced to swing jazz
And heard Milligan rhymes
Not like these so like, like so,
So like times!
