The Grand Parade Of Lifeless Packaging |
| «The last great adventure left to mankind» |
| -Screams a drooping lady |
| Offering her dreamdolls at less than extortionate prices, |
| And as the notes and coins are taken out |
| I’m taken in, to the factory floor. |
| For the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging |
| -All ready to use |
| The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging |
| -just need a fuse. |
| Got people stocked in every shade, |
| Must be doing well with trade. |
| Stamped, addressed, in odd fatality. |
| That evens out their personality. |
| With profit potential marked by a sign, |
| I can recognise some of the production line, |
| No bite at all in labour bondage, |
| Just wrinkled wrappers or human bandage. |
| The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging |
| -All ready to use |
| It’s the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging |
| -just need a fuse. |
| The hall runs like clockwork |
| Their hands mark out the time, |
| Empty in their fullness |
| Like a frozen pantomime. |
| Everyone’s a sales representative |
| Wearing slogans in their shrine. |
| Dishing out failsafe superlative, |
| Brothere John is No. 9. |
| For the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging |
| -All ready to use |
| It’s the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging |
| -just need a fuse. |
| The decor on the ceiling |
| Has planned out their future day |
| I see no sign of free will, |
| So I guess I’ll have to pay, |
| Pay my way, |
| For the Grand Parade. |
| For the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging |
| -All ready to use |
| The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging |
| -just need a fuse. |
