Mickey Mouse Is Dead Lyrics - Singles - Subhumans

Mickey Mouse is dead 

Got kicked in the head 

Cos people got too serious 

They planned out what they said 

They couldn't take the fantasy 

Tried to accept reality 

Analyzed the laughs 

Cos pleasure comes in halves 

The purity of comedy 

They had to take it seriously 

Changed the words around 

Tried to make it look profound 

The comedian is onstage 

Pisstaking for a wage 

The critics think he's great 

But the laughter turns to hate 

Mickey Mouse is on TV 

And the kids stare at the screen 

But the pictures are all black and white 

And the words don't mean a thing 

Cos Mummy's got no money 

And daddy is in jail 

He couldn't afford the license 

She can't afford the bail, no 

The kids out in the road 

Their minds have all gone cold 

Cos Mickey Mouse is dead 

They shot him through the head 

With ignorance and scorn 

They believed in something new 

They read the papers, watched the films 

And thought they knew the truth 

Look what you've done to Mickey Mouse 

But reality deceives 

Whatever you believe 

There's always another idea 

And theirs is based on fear 

The fear of being sussed 

For what they really are 

The fear of being laughed at 

When they go too far 

They call it paranoia 

You can't laugh it away 

Until you come to realize 

Everyone's the same 

People hide their problems under faces of contempt 

They hide 'em, till it kills 'em, and no one is exempt 

Not even you 

Look what you've done to Mickey Mouse 

1, 2, 3, 4, look what you've done to Mickey Mouse 

1, 2, 3, 4, can't you even laugh it away?
