Motion - collage by douglas brent smith, November 1979
selling out selling out
selling out is so much fun
you look at me and whisper
you look at her and run
look into the mirror
and tell me who's the one
selling out selling out
selling out is so much fun
you say all those decisions
are driving you insane
you've got a first level problem
and a third rate brain
selling out selling out
selling out is so much fun
the dollar signs are shining
right before your eyes
reach into the money bag
and pull out a surprise
selling out selling out
selling out is so much fun.
converging urges pull power
plays pull lost switches pull
shades thru the blades
hanging pendulously; sharp edges
dulled
fast focus
slowed
merging dervishes sing in the distance
youth grabs a number and
waits in line.
