The Grand Parade Of Lifeless Packaging

          A          Bm                A
“It’s the last great adventure left to mankind!”
Bm        A
Screams a drooping lady
Bm           A             Bm                     C
Offering her dreamdolls at less than extortionate prices,
G          C                   G
And as the notes and coins are taken out
   C         G              C
Im taken in, to the factory floor.

A                     Bm
Got people stocked in every shade,
A             Bm
Must be doing well with trade.
A                      Bm
Stamped, addressed, in odd fatality.
A                    Bm
That evens out their personality.
     C                G
With profit potential marked by a sign,
      C                     G
I can recognise some of the production line,
   C              G
No bite at all in labour bondage,
     C                    G
Just wrinkled wrappers of human bandage.

A                  Bm
The hall runs like clockwork
A                        Bm
Their hands mark out the time,
A              Bm
Empty in their fullness
A                  Bm
Like a frozen pantomime.
C           G
Everyones a sales representative
C               G
Wearing slogans in their shrine.
C               G
Dishing out failsafe superlative,
C               G
Brother John is No. 9.

The decor on the ceiling
            A                Bm
Has planned out their future day
  A              Bm
I see no sign of free will,
     A                 Bm          C
