Mother Culture's Lullbye - the Culling Song

She sings to us, Even when we hear no sound, Especially when our eyes are closed. She is always there subliminally, Inherently in the background noise of everything The city traffic and noise of the workday She swims softly through our head in the after hours Tempting us with Toys and Riches Telling us what would make us Happy She sings on the TV, on the BIG SCREEN more, more, more She fills our head with empty promises of The New Golden Rule Watch as the masses head to the mall To worship at this shrine of materialism and greed To pay grievances at Gap and Footlocker To give thanks to Victoria's Secret and Macy's She is No God but a Blind Savior, A False Prophet, leading men away from enlightenment.
