 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

You are an inspiration to me
You are my inspiration of how not to be
You are my inspiration to achieve a better way of life

The crowd was one (oblivion ran deep) 
A consciousness of cannon-fodder walking in its sleep 
Vacant expressions (and don't look ahead) 
Everybody dance with the beautiful dead I said!

All queue up and gravel for a hit 
Someone pulls the reins then you chew at the bit 
Encouraged by commercials to spend beyond my means 
I laughed as it all fell apart at the seams 

(Hey! Take a look at tomorrow) 

But will I inherit the good green earth? 
Such a lovely world 

All mod-cons there was dust on the drums 
My electronic beat-box got the job done 
Everybody emulate the pulse of the soul 
And change your clothes (to make you feel whole)
Effort and sweat was a thing of the past (they said!)
Welcome to the world of the beautiful dead
