The situation is almost out of control,

Lounging on a sun-drenched beach,

I realise there may be overcrowding on public transport,

As I lounge on a sun-drenched beach.



My greatest lie ever told is coming back to haunt me,

Sipping my martini from my oceanic view,

Then again I cannot be named for legal reasons,

As I sip my martini from my oceanic view.



A familiar face is missing from my reflection,

Gorging into my free banquet,

The guy who dreamed to slash world poverty has slipped away,

As I gorge into my banquet.
