a nursery rhyme dedicated to the peddlers of misery

A Poem by delapruch
"

poison + american people = advertising poisoned american people + the surrounding world = the current state of things

"

*To be sung to the tune of “Camptown Races”

 

Copywriters sing this song

Doo-da, Doo-da

Peddling misery all day long

Oh, de doo-da day

 

Gonna sell us cigarettes

& unhealthy foods to our kids!

Gonna make our little girls feel bad about their bodies

so they go make themselves throw up in the bathroom!

 

Oh, the vultures scurry round in their nest

Doo-Da, Doo-da

Deciding which lies that they like best

Oh, de doo-da day

 

They’re going to lie all night!

They’re going to lie all day!

I’ll bet my money that by tomorrow eve,

You’ll have bought something that you don’t need!
