The Drug Companies Did A Good Job lyrics

by I Am Spoonbender





HIDDEN PERSUADERS
love of the evolved
3 folded words
the drug companies did a good job
meeting yourself : I'm you
slowly replaced (in mirrors)
hidden persuaders
chapped lip hypnotist SHOWN ACTUAL SIZE
I went and had my knives sharpened
remover-installer
re-dial meant 'remember'
TELETWIN
clocks grow old
where do words go?
SENDER/RECEIVER
stopwatch static
replaced by toys







HIDDEN PERSUADERS

UNITARD ( LOVE OF THE EVOLVED )
a mixed-IQ love story

lips move
and they say to me something (but resembling nothing)
and I can't tell one from the other, now. can you show me how?

but wait- yes, I do think I know how to say: "living proof that a fool gets his way".
how about you ? why don't you lead the way?
I refuse.

gimp school so slow.
gaze in monotone. feeling.
gazing. monotone feeling.
past the hand that's gesturing (to the other).

lips move
and they say to me something (but resembling nothing)
and I can't tell one from the other, now. Maybe I'll learn how!

but wait- yes, I do think I know how to say: "living proof that a fool gets his way".
how about you? why don't you lead the way?
i refuse.

CAN YOU HEAR US WHEN SING?!?! 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - !









3 FOLDED WORDS
"we should have"
our dreams drift away from here.
our dreams slipped away for years.

she taught broken hearts and sewed the world.
showed the world.
he wrested arms in seven wards
(he was) all she'd want, but she never thought to say three folded words.
sealed into grey.

they held hidden parties
nevermore
dearly discarded, now they whisper to the floor
(she was) all he'd want, but he never knew to say ''evermore/ nevermore''.
no heart to blame

hey: do these words resemble pictures?
hey: if i stay, we'll start again..
hey hey: did we lay on concrete pillows? (as the night shifts time, i wish)
hey hey: if you stay, we'll start again. (as the night shifts time, you wish)

as the night shifts time, we wish to start again.

our dream sleeps away from here.









THE DRUG COMPANIES DID A GOOD JOB
san francisco, ca 1972
It works like a dream; the drug companies will fill the holes.
Weak hands and soft knees. decide what we want now that we're all grown.

It works like a dream - the drug companies will dig the holes
Weak hands and soft knees. decide what we want now that we're all grown.

The drug companies ? they la la la.
The drug companies: they blah blah blah!

Now that we're all grown.
