OVERREACTOR

Clearance sale, got to be there
I can't afford to miss a bargain
Everything must go
A soul becoming a dog's breakfast
And temperance smacks of failure
Get so full on, so far gone
"Deep hanging out is, like, so, a vocation"
Let's raise the bar, McCartney and Shearer style
Ooh, Favoured Nations, carry on counting
Green with envy and drunk on greed,
Shiny is a big factor to the overreactor

Here comes the cavalry,
like some sparkling absent father
with fairground rides and a hotline to some lap dance place
Premature ejaculation,
"Well what the hell? She hardly spoke a word of English!"
Now, simple folk please get out of the queue and let me pass
I need an upgrade on whatever is available
Two eggs good but four eggs better,
"My omelet is bigger than yours,
I got machinery to burn.
Dig the depth of the furrow of mirth that I can plough,
got God's own tractor", says the overreactor
