pop music till yer brains bulge blue!


by strannikov


path of less resistance

 

another way to think of pay

and non-pay burst balloons:

consider joblessness (hooray)

what it costs and what it pays.

anticipate now that dire days

could overtake you soon:

don't put off your suicide bash,

buy your rope while you still have cash!

 

 

pop music till yer brains bulge blue!

 

pop music till yer brains bulge blue!

 

rhythm melody synthetic beats

tempos for affective response timed

to coincide with thoughts of exchanging cash.

 

music to buy by music to sell to

(music, that is, to salivate to)

 

high production values on display

(separate horns for engineered sounds)

to accompany all economic deeds.

 

music to buy with music to sell with

(degraded music, that is, just noise)

 

every color of sound turned to green

human beasts' treadmill tastes must be trained:

we may yet starve to death, but we'll die de-brained!

 

music to buy for music to sell for

(invisible music hardly sounds)

 

alien enthusiasms lit

victims symptoms of a slipping age

(why, it's chronometer calibration time!):

 

pop music till yer brains bulge blue!
