The Lazy Sunbathers - Morrissey

A world war

Was announced

Days ago

But they didn’t know

The lazy sunbathers

The lazy sunbathers

The sun burns through

To the planet’s core

And it isn’t enough

They want more

Nothing

Appears

To be

Between the ears of

The lazy sunbathers

Too jaded

To question stagnation

The sun burns through

To the planet’s core

And it isn’t enough

They want more

Religions fall

Children shelled

(… children shelled? that’s all very well

But would you please keep the noise down low?

Because you’re waking

The lazy sunbathers…)
