Bibliocide from SXXTStorm by Joel the Custodian

Andy Howlett:
In the space of a few years, we’ve gone from
Having the largest non-national in Europe
To this national embarrassment

I’m a bibliophile and yet I hate that place

You’re a bibliophile and yet you hate this place?
Every once in a while, I come an’ show my face
Well, welcome back to the military base
You have to escalate before you see a bookcase
And they estimate a million books misplaced
When you relocated from the previous space
Well, we’re rewriting the book, that’s a stupid phrase
And the tiniest opening hours, you’d be amazed
Natural light? No, we’ll put it in a cage
It’s so versatile, it’s for people of any age
And your children’s section? Yes? Oh, it’s a disgrace
Woh, what a waste! Woh, what a waste!
Understaffed, ALL CAPS, uppercase
its predecessor just a memory trace
But we love books, see? they’re in a showcase
Wanna borrow those? Yeah!
I’ll check the database
That one’s a reference, that one’s a reference
That one’s a reference, that one’s a reference
That one’s a reference...

Sample:
Since you guys can’t leave the library and be checked out
I just want you to know, you’re the best
