It’s going down fast
There’s a man overboard
This city is sinking
It’s going down fast
There’s a man overboard
It’s happening at last
Citizen Mel In shopping Mall town
He picks a lock
He looks around
He can shop then f**k
He feels alright in it
(Citizen Mel steps into town
He picks a lock, he looks around
Desire consume everything)
Getting and spending
What have you got
Have you bought a lot?
Sign on the line
It’s your very last time
Consumed and spent
Mel stands in line
Parts with his cash
At the right time
Oh no, he’s disposable
He’s a perfect shell
It’s never ending
Getting and spending
Citizen Mel
Body beautiful
Oh I can tell
You’re a perfect shell
It’s never ending…
