Amused to Death |
| Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me |
| This supermarket life is getting long |
| What is the heart life of a colour TV |
| What is the shelf life of a teenage queen |
| Ooh western woman |
| Ooh western girl |
| News hound sniffs the air |
| When Jessica Hahn goes down |
| He latches on to that symbol |
| Of detachment |
| Attracted by the peeling away of feeling |
| The celebrity of the abused shell the belle |
| Ooh western woman |
| Ooh western girl |
| And the children of Melrose |
| Strut their stuff |
| Is absolute zero cold enough |
| And out in the valley warm and clean |
| The little ones sit by their TV screens |
| No thoughts to think |
| No tears to cry |
| All sucked dry |
| Down to the very last breath |
| Bartender what is wrong with me |
| Why I am so out of breath |
| The captain said excuse me ma’am |
| This species has amused itself to death |
| Amused itself to death |
| Amused itself to death |
| We watched the tragedy unfold |
| We did as we were told |
| We bought and sold |
| It was the greatest show on earth |
| But then it was over |
| We oohed and aahed |
| We drove our racing cars |
| We ate our last few jars of caviar |
| And somewhere out there in the stars |
| A keen-eyed look-out |
| Spied a flickering light |
| Our last hurrah |
| And when they found our shadows |
| Groups 'round the TV sets |
| They ran down every lead |
| They repeated every test |
| They checked out all the data in their lists |
| And then the alien anthropologists |
| Admitted they were still perplexed |
| But on eliminating every other reason |
| For our sad demise |
| They logged the only explanation left |
| This species has amused itself to death |
| No tears to cry |
| No feelings left |
| This species has amused itself to death |
| Amused itself to death |
