Future Dick

from Seriously​?​! by Grant Sharkey

/

about

Rather than write a letter to Indesit about the amount of packaging on their washing machines, I wrote a song to the future archeologists who will dig it up and judge me. This is my story.

lyrics

In the year 3013,
On an episode of something like Time Time,
They'll be digging a hole to find a story untold,
(And I'll be in trouble)
They'll find a bag made of polythene,
On the side it's addressed to Grant Sharkey
Inside, they'll find chunks of polystyrene,
A sight so obscene they puke everywhere.

And they'll surmise that I am an asshole brimming with spite,
For the future of humanity...but that's just not me (so in my defence)

I bought a brand new washing machine,
To help the economy and to get my stinking clothes clean,
I unwrapped it with glee,
Plumbed it in with a squee...and started my washing,
Around my feet polystyrene and bubble wrap,
I bagged it up and threw it out with the other crap,
I didn't think it through,
I didn't know what to do...so I panicked.

In the future they'll paint a picture of me,
Killing the planet deliberately,
Robot Tony Robinson will call me a dick,
And the other robots will agree and called me a Dick.

I ordered a washing machine not a f*cking dilemma.
