A guy at work bought a packet of crisps and complained how the packets were getting smaller, I said yes and the price is getting higher. So what started as a bit of a complaint against mass consumerism turned into so much more. The longer we leave things unresolved the return will get less and the price of fixing it goes up. Have you noticed how sweets aren't as big as you remember? Crisps seem to come in nothing more than sachet-size containers And to hide it they changed the name of Marathon's to Snicker's The packets are getting smaller and the price is getting higher The packets are getting smaller and the price is getting higher And schools need so much money on them spending The 3 R's alone are no way for kids to be learning The Spice Girls and Teletubbies are just plastic stimulations The packets are getting smaller and the price is getting higher The packets are getting smaller and the price is getting higher The infrastructure of society is inevitably crumbling And the NHS is systematically disappearing And I never trust a yet to be defrocked politician Their promises are getting smaller and the price is getting higher Their promises are getting smaller and the price is getting higher There's a hole in the Ozone layer the size of America The smog is giving our kids asthma and lung cancer And take my advice - don't even think about drinkin' the water The packets are getting smaller and the price is getting higher The packets are getting smaller and the price is getting higher Lovers now take a cool look at each other Do you get back the love that you say you give to her And will it be this way now and forever as you get older The packets are getting smaller and the price is getting higher The packets are getting smaller and the price is getting higher
