Come Fly

Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Roll up, roll up for the sale of the century.
Bargain bucket prices, why? we're giving them away
They're going cheap, cheap, cheap - flying off the runway.
To the back of beyond, beyond that, and back again
C'mon, you know you want to, hop on board our plane.

Here's what to do - follow the news
Find yourself the aftermath of a military coup.
And if there's been a flood or other catastrophe,
The locals will love you - plenty of vacancies!
Take a long weekend break (Sharm el Sheik's great)
The bombs have gone, crowds have thinned...
Paradise lost - why wait?

So cram them in, ram them in the new giant of the skies
Stuffed with 800 passengers, all keen to be mile high.
More and more people, criss-crossing globally
Tracing curvy red lines over countries, over seas.
Chewing through aviation fuel with consummate ease
As greenhouse gas emissions push temperatures up a few degrees
This planet we all live on's really starting to feel the squeeze,
But don't worry. Come fly with us. Please.

Emergency exits are here, here and here.
Can't breathe? Oxygen masks will magically appear.
Believe me, there's nothing for you to fear
The glossy instruction leaflet makes it all perfectly clear.

So go further, go faster. Not sure how much longer fossil fuels will last for.

But who cares? It doesn't really matter
You've earnt that dream holiday in far-flung Madagascar.
It's an island of distinction, famed for animal extinction...

Hang on...
Is there a point that we're all missing
When around the world we're flitting?
Hijacking half the planet
(Sod the future, damn it)
Stuck on auto pilot
All the protests have gone quiet
To ban the plane would cause a riot
No-one's willing to even try it?
With no alternative solution to combat air pollution
We're gonna.......CRASH!
