the oxtam ad makes you feel bad
you put a few coppers into the slot
pretending that it's all that you've got
hungry conscience
charity, hilarity
starving millions
prevention, cure
a few pence shed and both are fed
a few pence shed and both are fed
the money we donate to charity
is too small to be of real consequence
but large enough to ease our conscience
the oxtam ad makes you feel bad
you put a few coppers into the slot
pretending that it's all that you've got
hungry conscience
charity, hilarity
starving millions
prevention, cure
a few pence shed and both are fed
a few pence shed and both are fed
disease, poverty and famine need not to exist
because we let them, they continue to persist
there is enough for all of our need
but not for all of our greed
the oxtam ad makes you feel bad
you put a few coppers into the slot
pretending that it's all that you've got
hungry conscience
charity, hilarity
starving millions
prevention, cure
a few pence shed and both are fed
a few pence shed and both are fed

What is the meaning behind Charity Hilarity lyrics?
When we look deeper into its meaning, the Flux of Pink Indians's 'Charity Hilarity' is a scathing commentary on charity's superficiality, implying that people donate insignificant amounts to feel good about themselves instead of making a genuine difference. The metaphor used in the phrase 'oxtam ad' points out the guilt-manipulation strategies that charities employ. The content of the song mainly revolves around social commentary, reflection, angst, despair, and even anger. At the same time, it reveals the contradictions in charity, and it points out the existence of inequality and greed as the underlying cause. The lyrics touch upon the issues of charity, conscience, and social problems like disease, poverty, and famine. Although the subject matter is challenging and perhaps appropriate for older children only with parents' supervision, it is free of any explicit language, violence, or other adult content that would necessitate a higher rating. ✔️
