The Great Stink

1858
Suegene human waste
Is being dumped, untreated
Into the Thames

The summer sun burns down
And London starts to drown
In a rising tide
Of it-so shit

Ammonia burns my eyes
The sky is black with flies
It comes, I'm not surprised
I don't feel well

The rich are gone away
The poor have to stay
It's could be a long
Hot, summer

We've got to be insane
Living in this drain
What the hell
Is going with this stink?

They say we're civilized
We rule out the world
But with all wasted shit
In the streets

This miasma
Makes my asthma
Worst each
Passing day

Salvation through sanitation
Someone
Help up
Please!
