The Meaning of Life

Marxed - The Meaning of Life

A Eulogy for Baby Boomers, Generation X'ers, the Rock the Vote Crowd (who never actually vote) and all of those other outstanding modern types.

Life consists of the following things: food, drink, work, television, the internet, film, music, books.
If you haven't been aborted yet, and who doesn't think that's a good idea, then you pretty much know this by now.

Which reminds me of a little story, in verse (stop right here and read no further).

The Meaning of Life

I've never done a thing in life,

I ate my share away

I'm from a generation lost,

The future past today.

I watch a lot of good ole tube

And see a film or two,

I cruise across the shiny web

Cause that's the thing to do.

I think that I will sing a song

Just like my favorite band

Or maybe I could watch awhile,

Is that woman some kinda man?

An actress is my favorite guy

Man, if my life was that!

I think that I might plate my teeth

And tattoo up my ass!!

I know, I think I'll read a book

To cure my boring mind,

And one day I might do something

To try and kill the time.

But not today my good ole friends

I'm busy at nothing now,

I'll never do a thing in life

I'm faceless in the crowd.

Something now to feed my face

And drink ambition dead -

I'll never do a thing in life

It is my secret dread.

But cable offers me new hope

A channel never seen

Perhaps someone will show me how

Or do something for me?

With courage like a bleating mouse

I drain my manhood dry,

My friends are all as brave as me

Which makes me want to cry.

Not really, it was all a joke

I'm satisfied you see

My life is music, books, and film

And don't forget TV.

So let adventure come and go

I watch it on the screen

Who'd want to do a thing in life

When nothing is your dream?

I'll never do a thing in life

But that's okay by me

If you just had my life to live

You'd want it too you see.
