Children of the world come gather round
Sit around the fire, let's talk like men
About quicksand Hollywood
Slow-match fast-food
That's the trash I found in the garbage can

Everyone be seated, tell you a little story
"Once upon a time" it starts, then it chews the facts
With Mickey, Walt & Donald
Goofy cousin Ronald
They wanna swallow all your souls, as if they've inked a pact

Are we fucked, are we nice, are we ducks, are we mice, are we men, are we mean, are we living
Living in the dream-machine
Fucked are we, nice are we, ducks are we, mice are we, men are we, mean are we, lilving, living, living
Living in the dream-machine

Seen the little mermaid surviving on the screen?
And look there's the dizzy Fad Four Story where no one dies
Maybe I forgot
Maybe Paul gets shot
All sad tales with dinosaurs will be cut to size

And then World War Two the Movie, with a grand finale
Smiling victims who all escape, and the Germans win
Children, got the picture?
Seen the past that's in the future?
Now, to be honest, to tell the truth, where to begin

Are we fucked, are we nice, are we ducks, are we mice, are we men, are we mean, are we living
Living in the dream-machine
Fucked are we, nice are we, ducks are we, mice are we, men are we, mean are we, lilving, living, living
Living in the dream-machine
