Lyrics

between the plastic surgery and credit card receiptsthe child goes to bed without a bite to eatthe prince denies a shilling to the beggar in the streetand callously retires to his presidential suiteand if we celebrate the celebrity and the joy it bringsadore the overprivelged just for having fancy tingsworship at the altar of our plasma tv screeninside the pages of our fashion magazineswe're singing na na nafuture civilization studies people of todayexcavate our ruins and examine our remainscatalog our plastic parks and put them on displaya mystery museum out in spacelike a vessel in the oceanwe get swallowed by the wavesdozen life preserves and a thousand lives to savegive them to the highest biddertell the others to be bravethey sink down to the bottomthrough their teeth and lonely graves they're singingna na nasing a merry melody like sparrows in a gilded agesing a joyful chorus sons and daughters of the gilded agetravel bells are ringing and the storm is drawing nearpreacher's at the pulpit lacing opium with feardevil's in the parlor with a grin from ear to earthe economy is crumbling like castles in the sand daddy's in his office with a shotgun in his handmommy's in the shopping mall she's working in her tanand i'm in the tavern singing with the band
