Where have all the shops gone.
So many doors have closed
On so many others dreams
Life quickly changing, before our eyes
The high street shifted, to hands and knee
Shopping around the clock non stop
Now no need to pay for plastic bags
Just sit and wait on the next post drop
More paper, boxes and plastic all free.
An old life disappearing, before our eyes
A revolution silent, destroying lives
Stay at home, no need to go out
Everything delivered to your door
From the cloud? Anonymous stores
Talk, shop, everything for you online
Will of course, lead to more free time.
So buy online, lift the tablet, mobile or PC
Help more shops shut, it's guaranteed.
