hmmm, I started writing whatever i awoke with the other morning and came up with the following... maybe we can build on it thru replies to this post ? or just read it and hate the world more.. hah !

=================================

you supply the terror

and we'll supply the fame

it's all about the media,

t'oil and the 'dame'

til it's well; run dry

they continue with the game

the statute of libertations

needs fuel to burn that flame

=================================

Sorry. I've had a lot on over the last few days with one thing and another, and am currently unable to spend as much time on my PC as I would wish.

I've quickly penned this however, using the basic premise that you began - it's more of a 'punk' rant than something that would tally with my usual nebulous and tangential lyrics...in other words much clearer and more 'to the point', and less opaque.

I can't listen to the radio anymore
I turn it off because I get bored
I'm sick and tired of endless revivals
digging up corpses to outdo their rivals
original talent doesn't seem to count
commercial viability's what it's all about
poppy! sloppy! mindless trash!
instantly forgettable, but good for cash.

Backed by big business and big time promotions
empty sentiments, disposable tokens
smothered with covers,
predictable predilections
autotuned focus
saccarine confection
splashed across the pages of the popular press
before it's time to change your image and style of dress
we want a more sophisticated look this time
and a token conscience within the empty lines
put some trendy right-on stuff in the next big hit!
the fans will lap it up when the image fits.

But heed this warning, I've seen it all before
you're being used, and abused - a disposable star
you let yourself be bent to the whims of profiteering
and it isn't really you for whom the fans are cheering
dropped like stone when you're no further use
when your looks are 'last year', and they've nothing to lose
when the next throwaway fashion is all the rage
you'll be sitting forgotten in your self-made cage.

TEDD - That's not very nice about Leprosy. I had a friend who had leprosy and sadly, he died after he crashed his car.......he left his foot on the accelerator.

He was crap at cards as well - he chucked his hand in..............
