Global Village Idiot
The Wondermints
Got a letter - maybe better that I get a piece of you instead.
All the chatter doesn't matter when you realize it wasn't read.
Can't be nothing when it's something that will get attention anyhow,
Like a doggy in the window with his head a-going up
and down.
Sister Suzie with an Uzi that eventually got her fame.
Next door neighbors doing favors for a pipe dream in
the media drain.
"She was always such a quiet...such a quiet neighbor
of a girl."
But no one asked her what it's like to be a stranger in a
stranger world.
Have a vision in collision with the vehicles you had to rent.
Loud as honey dripping money for ideas in retirement.
Little Brother watching Big Brother watching for a
thought disease.
And no one caught 'em picking petals in the minds of psychodaisies.
Stop the world, stop the world, I'm a global village idiot.
As it turns, as it turns out to be the biggest job I forget
Tone of silence rings the violence like a halo resting
on the horns.
Make the angels so pathetic with their cybernetic
crown of thorns.
