SPUNKY ORIGINAL
SEXY DERANGED LITTLE MINDS
WITH YOUR OPINIONS, PREFERENCES
AND YOUR JUDGEMENTS
WELL DON’T YOU THINK IT’S TIME
THAT WE PUT YOU TO THE TEST
CLAMP THE VISE ALONG YOUR SPINE
STACK THE BRICKS UPON YOUR CHEST
BECAUSE EVERY LITTLE THING YOU’VE DONE
HAS MADE YOU WHO YOU ARE
AND NOW THERE’S NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN
THIS IS IT
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET
YOU TRIED SO HARD TO BE A STAR
WE MADE YOU CARE
BUT IN THE END YOU’LL NEVER PLEASE US
AND THE WORLD IS TICKING DOWN IN SELF-DESTRUCT MODE ANYWAY
JAYNIE:
Why didn’t they tell us about this in Topeka!

Ohhh, this must be what they meant by no survivors—

It came up during the correspondence. “No Survivors Dance-a-thon.” I thought it was just sensationalist PR
