Mr. Strange Music Box
Roll up, roll up and witness the amazing music box,
Simply deposit your money in the slot, wind up the key,
And like clockwork the band will begin to play!
It's alive baby,
A flash of light, crazy?
Just as well, maybe,
This is you dreaming,
A music box singing,
Your ear drums ringing,
A psychopath grinning,
The music is breathing,
Song for no seasons,
Devoid of all reason,
Musical treason,
Genius screaming,
Dumb down,
Art that’s easily digestible,
Dumb down,
My hooks are irresistible,
Dumb down,
Ridicule it in every way you can,
Dumb down,
It’s only music man!
Wind up the key on my music box, yeah,
Us twisted freaks will sing you a song,
We ain’t cool, we ain’t fashionable,
We cut the crap with some catchy tracks,
"Cynicism scorns us,
Abstract adores us,
Reality bores us,
So this is what you get"
Neon chords clawing,
Sarcastic bite gnawing,
A cold stare thawing,
You pay for what you get
The box keeps turning,
Ideas keep churning,
Fire keeps burning,
And you've not heard it all yet,
Dumb down,
Art that’s easily digestible,
Dumb down,
My hooks are irresistible,
Dumb down,
Ridicule it in every way you can,
Dumb down,
It’s only music man!
