Life

Let's get married
Let's get divorced
Let's be pathetic
Let's bow to force
Let's forget our souls
Let's forget ourselves
Let's buy a microwave
Let's get food from shelves
Let's borrow some opinions
Let's start with the Sun
Then buy the Guardian
And have our opinions undone
Let's go to the gym
Let's wriggle on a hook
Let's look how Calvin Klein
Is telling us to look
Let's watch Jerry Springer
Let's watch QVC
Let's watch every channel
There is on TV
Let's believe what they tell us
Let's take what they give
Let's buy what they sell us
Let's live how they live
Let's see all the films,
But not buy the books,
Let's only buy magazines
That are based on their looks
Let's make a packed lunch
Let's go for a walk
Let's be a real family
Forgetting to talk
Let's go for a stroll
No, let's take the car,
It's only a mile
But I can't walk that far
Let's purchase a jacket
To wear for a day
Then purchase a bin bag
To throw it away
Let's throw out our carpet
put our junk out of sight
then pay a designer
To paint the walls white
Let's purchase a puppy
And then buy a cat
Then eat duck and rabbit
Until we are fat
Let's call ourselves 'darling'
And kiss on the cheek
Let's go for a facial
At least once a week
Let's ignore all our fire
Let's ignore trees
Let's catch the 6:30
Then play with our keys
Let's buy a fast car
But not use the gears
Let's get an education
For twenty-one years
Let's eat in a restaurant
Drink wine in a bar
Let's always get drunk
To escape who we are.
