Wake Up!

sordid merry funerals
wine and cheesy liberals
veganistic cannibals
many a hellos,
   lots of farewells

[wake up!
or you gonna miss the bus
wake up!
or you gonna miss the bus
wake up!
       or you gonna become just like one of us]

merry-go-rounds and merriment
camp site silt and sediments
chesterfield shag shop condiments
many a sweet tears sentiments

[wake up!
or you gonna miss the bus
wake up!
or you gonna miss the bus
wake up!
      or you gonna become just like one of us]

dusty roman holidays
a trip to city by the bay
steer clear of junkies and the gays
just do what your conductor says

[wake up!
or you gonna miss the bus
wake up!
or you gonna miss the bus
wake up!
      or you gonna become just like one of us]

none too happy people around
as we swing this merry-go-round
none too sweet cute lassies around
while we burn this one to ground
tweet tweet oh what is that sound?
in the dead of the night we set out again
and in the deep misty fogs surround

[wake up!
or you gonna miss the bus
wake up!
or you gonna miss the bus
wake up!
       or you gonna become just like one of us]

death bed comatose fairy tales
non-eco-friendly junk in the mail
then bang a whore in bloomingdales
where you went for the christmas sale

[wake up!
or you gonna miss the bus
wake up!
or you gonna miss the bus
wake up!
       or you gonna become just like one of us]

awake we pound and awake we hide
hammering dent and nourishing pride
just when we end this masquerade
'em eyes blink open and up you wake.
