Product Placement

Here ye’ here ye’ Read the headlines and polish the abstract newsletters There’s a new trend amongst the weak Sales tags mark the price of this new found phenomenon at a bargain A steal if you will You can pick it up for free at your local hot spot Dripping from the noses of heathens holding a cup Sipping their sorrows from a mug made of skin Bound by a leather tassel and reeking of misdirection There’s a fitting irony, how the drunkards tell the most truth While the sober ones spit lies At least a lush has summed it up to bad taste by proxy If this isn’t what was intended Why has the scale been tipped? It seems a great suit and on the right track to me So why is this vehicle swerving, dragging me to that shady side of the city I should not be here People like me get swallowed whole by the gutters and the wicked I heard there’s no rest for them so it’s proper that they’ve set their roots in this town Dream me out of here Storm the lighthouse and set the beacon somewhere I can see it I should fix my gaze towards better things but spoils are just more fun Natural progression, zero tolerance, primal instinct All the ingredients that make this product such a hit You’ve been forewarned and forsaken that the side effects may overjoy May the pessimistic turn optimistic through dissection of the left and right hemisphere Gasp! The end is near but I feel like I’ve just begun to breath in this new aroma Light the flares A new addiction walks this way....
