Dance Monkey Dance

Dance, Monkey, Dance! Commiserate with the dearly departed The dead stay dead Consummate your marriage with anarchy Dance, monkey, dance! The media plays you like a fiddle This life's damned little diddle Surely there is solace in fear Birth a scapegoat While gods parade golden parachutes Life is ugly Death is beautiful A foundation of futility Every soldier dead On foreign soil Build a fence To keep out the goats To keep the sheep free From impurities Dance, monkey, dance! Life's tune plays in your ear Tuned out by words replaying in your mind Just regurgitated thoughts That aren't your own Line the streets with gold To watch the chaos unfold Your child's soul was sold By gratuitous gluttony Commiserate with the nearly departed The living could continue living Consummate your marriage with your own thoughts Don't be a dancing monkey!
