Cultural Hegemony

Lock step, atoms burned
Fiendish restless
Truncated waiting
Shop and drop
Stop and slop
Old ladies masquerade
Preachers audible in a drunken charade

A toothless Tuesday
Parking lot drivel
Copy of a copy of a copy
Total insomnia 
Hairless bent on rogaine
Young and stupid with cocaine

Hapless pleading
Loud steps and sniveling

Rise Above!
Rise out and Above!
The solar system shines on you
Comets of mercury
And you're betting on cosmetic surgery
Rise out and Above!
