Surveillance Camera Actors
Truth without pain doesn't bring enough arms?"Love me! Feed me! Buy me!" Cry, "word from our sponsor!"
Only interested in trade-off? Only interested in charms?
Flunk the creator. Promote the tracing pawns.
Repressive tolerance, decorative punishment --sinister donation
Enforce intimacy, poison joy --accelerate relaxation
Repeating lines of confidence, dissonance
Standing shoulder to shudder, the scripts we'll never see.
Rewriting rules, to seize the moment, one upsmanship
Police summaries. Replace the merry drafts.
So cute, so fun, protecting power's pop
Raise puppets high atop lethal laughter
Sound bites, not contrite, Trite Might sounds the waves,
Summoning soldiers, swallowing knives, repeating lines.
Molding moods, calling all actors, uniforming right-wing wives.
Biting sounds, dumbing down, boiling it down into a craze
Repressive tolerance, decorative punishment --sinister donation
Enforce intimacy, poison joy
Do You Sing?
