Entropy by Plastic Flower published on 2018-04-29T12:44:22Z What’s making that noise? Whatever it is it can’t be feeling very well The hum of civilisation at a thousand decibels Carrying information that it’s all gone straight to hell Evo-psychologists and neuro-tick scientists sneak around In the slums and the back alleys of every town Looking for brains to devour and people to put down And all the artists walk around like the ghosts of their dead idols With stolen clothes and stolen words and stolen lack of ideals Good artists copy great artists steal but kleptomania is a disease And the news shows are the new crime drama series The more violence the more viewers the more money there is all while investment bankers murder millions sanctioned by grand juries And we’re all so cynical, all so bored so weary Must be thermodynamics or inevitable game theory And postmodernists and new atheists fight it out man you should hear it And the polygamists are in bed with almost everyone Strategically gaining influence one orgasm at a time Knowing that only they can stop this far-gone decline And the consultant lecturer makes a killing on his method to avoid The status anxiety society has given him since he was a boy Just get rich! And enjoy being self employed Now look at me I’m a wreck am a fool am disaster A bundle of issues and a discount-rate quantity of hurt With my M-W complex and nostalgia and longing for her What’s making that noise?
