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/
analysed 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 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/
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 truths/
but reality deceives/whatever you believe/
there's always another idea/
and theirs is based on fear/
the fear of being sussed/
for what you really are/
the fear of being laughed at/
when you go too far/
they call it paranoia/
you can't laugh it away/
until you conme to realise/
that everyone's the same/
people hide their problems/
under faces of contempt/
the hide them 'til it kills them/
and no one is exempt not even you/
look what you done to mickey mouse!
