Monday morning, sky's a perfect blue
Got the quarterly reports comin' due
Flicked the kettle on, Earl Grey, two sugars please
While sorting satellite imagery of the conflict overseas
See little dots runnin', like ants across the screen
A designated 'impact zone', if you know what I mean
The memo said 'clean sweep', efficiency is key
Just tick the box marked 'sanitised', it's policy, you see
And the coffee's getting cold
But the numbers must be told
In neat rows on the spreadsheet, bold
A story bought and sold
It's a lovely day for Crimson Confetti
Watch the pretty colours fall
Another splendid urban jetty
Where the buildings used to stand so tall
Just a minor local upset, see
On the six o'clock news crawl
It's a lovely day for Crimson Confetti
Doesn't bother me at all
Lunch break down at the canteen, egg and cress on rye
Scrolled through the footage feed with a half-closed eye
Thermal blooms like flowers bloom, in shades of red and grey
Collateral confetti on a perfect summer's day
The briefing spoke of 'assets' and 'strategic realignments
While the kids played hopscotch in the 'post-strike realignments
Just a touch of 'cleansing fire', a necessary chore
Like takin' out the rubbish, sweepin' dust up off the floor
And the tea leaves swirl and spin
Predicting where we begin
The next delightful, costly din
To tidy up the sin
It's a lovely day for Crimson Confetti
Watch the pretty colours fall
Another splendid urban jetty
Where the buildings used to stand so tall
Just a minor local upset, see
On the six o'clock news crawl
It's a lovely day for Crimson Confetti
Doesn't bother me at all
"Oh, the paperwork's a nightmare, truly, fills ya with despair
Tallyin' the 'units lost', ensurin' all is fair
Well, 'fair' within the guidelines, subsection 5B dash 4
The auditors are comin' round, gotta even up the score
Just a splash of 'liquid sunshine' on a target-rich parade
Creates such lovely patterns in the chargin' cascade
Don't dwell upon the 'meat' of it, the messy, human bit
It's just a cost analysis, where numbers nicely fit
It's a lovely day for Crimson Confetti
Watch the pretty colours fall!
Another splendid urban jetty
Where the buildings used to stand so tall
Just a minor local upset, see
On the six o'clock news crawl
It's a lovely day for Crimson Confetti
Doesn't bother me at all
Sunset paints the rubble gold
Another story neatly told
Crimson stains, a sight so bold
But oh, the evening's getting cold
La-la-la-la-la... Crimson Confetti
La-la-la-la-la... Doesn't bother me
La-la-la-la-la... Policy, you see
