On the street. On the screen.

Stroll outdoors from A to B

It’s mostly a dumping ground

Used stuff all around

Sidestep it as you hold your breath in the city

Browse the paper, watch TV, or scroll your phone

There’s a world of garbage there too

Ads targeting you

Usually boring, irritating and in the wrong tone

To stop the rubbish, is there a long-term plan?

Hardly, and nobody’s responsible for the mess 

Not citizens or the authorities, and there’s no one else

Who gives a damn?

Quite like the media landscape

Ad agencies and clients spoil it

A waste of time-n-money, ads are usually shit

And folks look to escape.
