A Death in the Family

from Pussy Killer by Ponyboy.

lyrics

No one ever paid any attention
To the boy with a thorn in his side
Turning tricks and making porno films left him disillusioned
Now a whore is pretending he's a star

It's all over the television
It's all over the world wide web

No one ever paid any attention
To the boy who had ice in his eyes
If you don't like the reflection, don't look in the mirror
But everyone's got something that they wanna hide

It's all over the TV
It's all over the world wide web
The counter clicks as your stomach turns to the sound of New Order
Tongue wagging, bated breath

I'm not shocked or surprised at another crime on display
Or the lengths that someone will sink to pay the high price of fame
Guess you got what you want - last thing left is to lay the blame
What's a man but the sum of his parts?
Fuck yeah, that's entertainment

Fuck yeah, that's entertainment

You suck it up
You suck it up like a sick sad animal

It would seem we've all got needs for the pleasing
The media needs bodies for feeding
An eager public so hungry for blood
Too much gore is never enough
Don't act like it's a new thing
When it's just another death in the family

Just another death in the family

It's all over your memory
It has crawled under your skin

(NEWS REPORTS)

It would seem we've all got needs for the pleasing
The media needs bodies for feeding
An eager public so hungry for blood
Too much gore is never enough
So, don't act like it's a new thing
When it's just another death in the family

You suck it up
You suck it up like a sick sad animal

You want to believe in in this family
You want to sleep safe in your bed
You want to believe it's over
When it just started a trend

Just another death in the family.
