Mercy killing - my paean to shopping, because it is my local sport...
Eat, drink, consume, die
All the rest is punctuation.
Blue cross, star buy.
Fulfil your obligation
More junk, more diet.
That'll keep the kiddies quiet
Else, God knows they'll start a riot.
Smoother lines and plumper pout.
Scratch away the self-doubt
Or just scream to drown it out.
Save my breath up for the gym
Dumb me down and make me slim
Force-feed porn on wider screens
To violate your cynic teens
With wealthy thugs and beauty queens.
No sweat, not willing.
It's just a mercy killing.
Culture's hole that begs for filling
Requires a mercy killing.
Which cause or faith to wear today,
fashion gives me choice to pay
And tells me not to hide away.
Well, I feel so fulfilled
with senses numbed and mercy killed.
You'll feel better if you shed some pounds.
Better if your breasts were round.
Better with your thoughts compound,
down and down and down and down.
And didn't I used to think and feel,
Laugh and dance and cry and squeal.
Faith and hope just childhood joys
To cast away with other toys.
Don't mourn them now, your attics filling.
It's just a mercy killing.
Try to ignore the drilling.
It's just a mercy killing.
So work real hard to pay the rent
Can't feed yourself 'cause your time's all spent
So buy an expensive suppliment.
Then go and spend all your regret
On stuff and stuff until you forget.
And if you still feel violated
Take that thought
And intoxicate it.
