Woke up, got out of bed<br>
poured motor oil on my head<br>
I read the news today, oh boy,<br>
it's bad<br>
each headline subtly disguised an ad<br>
<br>
So with our credit card<br>
I bought an edutainment pill<br>
It made me think 'til I had thunk<br>
my fill<br>
<br>
We've priced four thousand hues<br>
of misery and mild distaste<br>
This is a slightly darker shade<br>
of mahogany<br>
How could you buy a thing like that<br>
from me?<br>
<br>
What's with the book, the film,<br>
the photograph, the crowd, the war?<br>
I have to laugh 'cause I've been here<br>
before<br>
<br>
So now it's time to ax<br>
the most majestic qualifier<br>
of life's miasmic march while it<br>
expires<br>
and find your way upstairs<br>
into a dream<br>
to your dream<br>
to our dream<br>
