42 nillion copies sold

2 nillion copies sold, what glory!

Sales came down through the roof

Though there’s two sides, to every story

Then there’s the awful truth

 

Nicely observed by a handful, bold

I simply begat, a document in word

Story changed, not when it was told

But every single time, it was heard

 

Then who’s to know, where it will go

Speculate theories, to prove me wrong

Mistranslating faux poetry, and prose

To sing their own grim hymn in song

 

If you’re anything, like me

You’ll want it to end, quickly

Then put in your heart, and act the part

Or it will die, like most of man’s art

 

Go, sing, and play it on the airwaves

On the radio band, to everywhere

Attach your name, to take the blame

If you flipping dare

 

This’ll never get on the radio

Due to the bad language gap

Just replace every ‘f’ with a whistle

A clap for a ‘sh’, and it’s a wrap

 

If you hear no swear words here

Someone, must have fucked about

Compromised my lame testimony

To help get the message out

 

Attaching your name to 100 rhymes

At the risk of it being remembered

The worst thing you could wish for, unless

You ‘want’ to be eternally, swollen membered

 

And if you show potential good stock

When you’re gone, evaporated or lost

They’ll come looking for those, who share your genes

Cos, being remembered, can come at a cost
