Shell posts profits of £8 bn for just one quarter, while people go cold and hungry and the earth continues on its path to destruction…

The heartline’s connected to the oil pipe
the oil pipe’s connected to the fat graph
the fat graph’s connected to the big grin
the big grin’s connected to the tycoon
the tycoon’s connected to the fat cash
and it all mashes up into a massive black fire
with the little folk on top dressed as guys
the stokers with their pokers and their big black lies
their wheezing children paying the price
as Mother Earth dies screaming.
