Stage with Speaking Curtains

hush-hush,

human race

hum-drum, hurry up

nothing's free, hum-drum

breathing's not enough

saddle up, hum-drum,

time to hunt the buck

chin up, hum-drum

survival isn't rough

we've locked up all the food

but paper can be won

so give a growl, hum-drum,

be a man, grab a gun!

you signed up, hum-drum
it's a race, time to run!

it's all there is, hum-drum

be a slave or a bum!

lick your lips, hum-drum

bring the kids, join the fun!

hush-hush,

human race,

pull over, treat your truck.

it's a race, hum-drum

why wait? grab the pump!

be a man, hum-drum

teem the tank, fill 'er up

why be weaned, hum-drum,

when there's more

milk to suck!

just give in, hum-drum,

it's necessary sin,

make it brim, hum-drum

toss your guilt, give a grin!

forget the kids, hum-drum,

gas is thick, blood is thin!

don't be dim, hum-drum,

we can't sell the wind

hold your tongue, hum-drum,

we can't sell the sun

hush-hush,

human race,
hum-drum, don't look up
no terror to be found

heavy sink the coffins,

heavy lies the crown.
now, now, hum-drum,

keep quiet,

don't get loud
thousands died, hum-drum
show respect,
keep your doubts.
we'll kick you out, hum-drum,
watch your mind,
watch your mouth!

simmer down, hum-drum,

not a squeak,

not a sound!

don't look now, hum-drum,

we got eyes all around!

and the terrorists

don't always wear

turbans in this town.
that's right, hum-drum,
its trouble you don't need,
settle down, hum-drum,
sit back, trust the screen

back to bed, hum-drum,
no one's up,

go to sleep.
