lyrics

On the gogglebox
Every night
The celebrities are in the limelight
Can't get away from them
Can't ever hide
Find yourself dazzled by their flashing fluoride

The world in in crisis
but celebrities thrive
Buy another flash motor to line the drive
Mastermind and Master Chef
How about celebrity master race?

Selling us crap, with their inane grins
Get down the bookies
Who Dares Wins
Fit club, Juice Bar, Sewing Bee, Super Spa
Look at me! Look at me!
Superstar! Superstar!

We'll always entertain,
We won't disappoint
Jesus Christ, I'm at tipping point
Gonna have a baby?
Book it in now
Don't want no pain,
to posh to push

Celebrity
Bake me a cake, cook me a dinner that will make my heart quake
Celebrity
Give me a dance, oh how I love to see you prance
Celebrity
Love your hair, makes you look so pretty in your kitchen nightmare
Celebrity
Your the weakest link

Using their platforms to raise awareness
Cause their just like you and me
Luxury houses and private jets,
Is their reality

They are visible symptoms of privilege
Of rampant inequality
Hey, look at us
We're better than you
An entertainment meritocracy

We created them, we enable them
We make it possible for them to exist
They fill the screen with their vanity
A legion of egoists

Celebrity
Bake me a cake, cook me a dinner that will make my heart quake
Celebrity
Give me a dance, oh how I love to see you prance
Celebrity
Love your hair, makes you look so pretty in your kitchen nightmare
Celebrity
Get me out of here

They can't influence me
They can't influence you
They can't influence me
They can't influence you
They can't influence me
They can't influence you
Pay no attention to their point of view

Celebrity
Celebrity
Celebrity
Celebrity
Your Pointless!
