yo, this is monologue mentioned to a manufactured mannequin
you ready?
aw, fuck it.
you're engineered, not even a photograph
your whole frame has changed,
why don't you change your name?
bouncin' off my eye
like it's a big surprise
are those pallid tones
when you're really yellow
and little heart-shaped hearts
stenciled everywhere
i don't care, i don't care
and you're completely unaware
well it doesn't matter much
'cause i'll be outta your hair
within a week or two
you could watch me go
if you'd peel your face
from those channels, tubes
but your head is glued
to the static news
monkey/fish barrels
[you] keep fishin' on
[like you'll] find a slice o' fame
then you won't be so plain
get you outta this state,
'n' get you outta this place
to go live in mansions,
yeah servants all dancin',
bouncin' off the walls
bringin' you all calls,
cell phones on silver platters
flashbulbs between the clatter
and the sex is dispensin'
the plastic life suspension
then your eyelids flutter
and your lips begin to twitter
you just tell the butler
that he doesn't have to bother
cuz nothin's as important
as talkin' down to fools
with the mighty gall
who dare think at all
who dares
who dares
who dares
think [they can] talk to you?
well, that's a fantasy
and so is your body
and your mind is warped
and you'll find yourself dwarfed
if you go to the country
where the souls all rest
---you'll find yourself alone
when you're put to the test.
Author notes
more rap stuff. this one i got the idea for after seeing far too many of those "need a girlfriend?" ads and being disgusted with the people in them. has a kinda gorillaz feel to it.
