The Memo

I'm gonna steal some bedsheets From an amputee I'm gonna mount em on a canvas In the middle of the gallery I'm gonna tell everybody it was painted by a chimpanzee But just between you me (single strum) Here at the cultural low water mark If it's fraud or art They'll pay you to believe I'm gonna take five young dudes From white families Gonna mount em on a billboard In the middle of the country I'm gonna tell everybody they sing like angels with whiter teeth But just between you and me (single strum) They're just like the ones before With their standards lower Every concert goer will pay you to believe Caffeine in the morning, alcohol at night Cameras to record you and mirrors to recognize And as the world is getting smaller Small things take up all your time Narcissus would have had a field day if he could have got online And friends it's not self-love that kills you It's when those who hate you are allowed To sell you that you're a glorious shit the entire world revolves around And that you're the eater, and not the eaten But that your hunger will only cease If you come binge on radiant blandness at the disposable feast (All single strum for thus part) Just quickly how would you rate yourself In terms of sex appeal and cultural significance Do you usually listen to music like this We can recommend some similar artists Are you feeling depressed? But your feedback's important To us (Return to strumming pattern) Gonna buy myself a sports team And put em in a pit Gonna wage the old crusade Against consciousness All I need is a couple winners to get every loser to fight in it You keep the golden calf I just need the bullshit They won't just sell themselves into slavery They'll get on their knees and pay you to believe End on
