Death of the Protest Song.

Happiness,
The name of a magazine,
Dedicated solely to shopping.
Says it all.

Consumers want to escape,
Not confront,
Protest and survive,
Consume and deny.

Buy the latest must have,
DVD PC Nintendo girl stroke boy oo er missus band blockbuster super THX Dolby surround sound number one extravaganza.
To feel good about yourself.

Whilst the soldiers of the west,
Stood guard at the front doors,
Of the oil fields.
For freedom and democracy.

The relics of Babylon,
Left by the backdoors,
Of the museums,
For profit and personal gain.
The good old capitalist way.

Buy the latest must have.
Black market over the under the counter genuine straight from the holy land stroke middle far east ancient master piece triptych sacred relic.
Broken up especially for you..

The price of the petrol in my car is cheaper,
The price of the burning ruined books,
In the libraries of the Arabia,
Is cheaper still.
