DONE-IN at the DRIVE-IN
 

 

 

Ruthless shenanigans - harmless hooligans
Harken back to the good ole days
When we just killed for fun..,
Didn’t need a season - good for all reasons
Some becomes none
How many more before it’s all done..,

Seen it in the movies - half-off matinee on Tuesdays
Big-screen cruelty featuring a big-ass beauty -
Femme-fatale, a tabloid floozy.
Such fun then - all-of-a-sudden..,
The crowd crudely shifts to unruly
Before unduly
Done-in at the drive-in where it all began.

Freedom for the Homeland - played-out on-demand
Goes beyond what most want to understand
Anticipating an old arrival makes everyone excitable with
Orchestrated craze hidden in the maze - a transient phase
Making it all about survival - everybody becomes a rival -
Murder conveniently justifiable..,
Reducing sacred treasure to waste - pressured by bad taste
Fronts inspiration from satanic bibles,
Magic mushrooms, cheap bargains and false titles.

Newsroom groomed by some tech-tycoon
Tragically consumed - typically reviewed -
Capital voodoo - but then who knew;
Shit was radioactive so they wrapped it in plastic -
Marketing proactive - Now it looks attractive;
But necessarily doomed.

Got to live in the Now cuz there is no tomorrow
At least none want to think about
Fear born from doubt
And Hope is sold as injectable dope - trying to cope
Helps to forget what you don’t want to already know
Say it’s all bullshit - a poorly produced subliminal show
That comes on slow - before you know it;
You’ve lost all control.

Ideals stolen and broken from forgotten heroes
Infinity confined to one’s and zeroes..,
And as shit about to explode - the frontman goes solo
Downloads the treasured loophole
Divine reason put on hold
Completes the vision already foretold.

And you think it’s all real cuz the way it makes you feel -
Experienced firsthand - messaged from the wasteland;
Leaving you with the noise of false choice
Lacking any significant appeal.
Just a malevolent experiment conducted by a decadent equivalent
Sponsored by an elite retreat banking you won’t understand -
Everybody going to jump on command..,
While intellectuals’ promise targets the subconscious
That The shit ain’t even real, ain’t real, ain’t real, it ain’t even real..,
Cuz - they know what you don’t -
That what you think; In bed with drink -
Or on the couch with your shrink;
Can !
Critically, criminally and politically
Fuck Their Deal,  fuck their deal,  fuck their deal..,
