Mickey Mouse Is Dead - 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

They 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 on stage

Pisstaking for a wage

The critics think he’s great

But the laughter turns to hate

Mickey Mouse is on T. V

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 couldn’t afford the bail

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 they thought they knew the truth

Look what you’ve done to Mickey Mouse

But reality deceives

No matter what 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

That everyone’s the same

People hide their problems

Under faces of contempt

They hide them 'til it kills them

And no one is exempt

Not even you

Look what you done to Mickey Mouse

1, 2, 3, 4, Look what you’ve done to Mickey Mouse

1, 2, 3, 4, Look what you’ve done to Mickey Mouse

1, 2, 3, 4, Look what you’ve done to Mickey Mouse

1, 2, 3, 4, Look what you’ve done to Mickey Mouse

Why are you even laughing away!
