MICKEY MOUSE IS DEAD 


Mickey Mouse is dead got kicked in the head 
'cos people got too serious they planned out what they said 
They couldn't take the fantasy they tried to accept reality analyzed 
The laughs cos pleasure comes in halves 
The purity of comedy they had to take it seriously 
Changed the words around tried to make it look profound 
The comedian is on stage pisstaking for a wage 
The critics think he's great but the laughter turns to hate 
Mickey Mouse is on t.v. and the kids stare at the screen 
But the pictures are all black and white and the words don't mean 
A thing cos mummy's got no money and daddy is in jail 
He couldn't afford the license she couldn't afford the bail 
The kids out in the road their minds have all gone cold 
'cos mickey mouse is dead they shot him through the head 
With ignorance and scorn they believed in something new 
They read the papers watched the films and they thought 
They new the truth but reality deceives whatever you believe 
There's always another idea and theirs is based on fear 
The fear of being sussed for what you really are the fear of being 
Laughed at when you go too far they call it paranoia 
You can laugh it away until you come to realize that everyone's the same 
People hide their problems under faces of contempt 
They hide them 'til it kills them and no one is exempt 
Not even you look what you done to Mickey Mouse
