Lily Allen's at it again

The new song's called 'Guess Who Batman' and it's about discrimination. "It was originally written about the BNP in the UK," Lily writes on her blog. "But then I felt this issue has become relevant pretty much everywhere - we are the youth, we can make coolness for our future, it's up to us..." Oh-kaaay, you probably get the point by now.
Anyway, the lyrics are as pithy as we've come to expect from Lily - "You're just some racist who can't tie my laces" is probably the standout line - and the chorus features a naughty word that begins with 'f' and rhymes with 'duck'. Well, it's not like Joan Rivers owns it, is it?
Being a demo, 'Batman' is cruder than a Roy 'Chubby' Brown gag, but musically it's closer to Lily's debut album than the two new songs she posted in April, which suggested she was heading in a more electro direction. We think there's something a bit 'Close To You' about the track too, but you can decide for yourself by clicking here.
