POP goes the culture
POP goes the culture
Prepare for Judgment Day sang Judy Garland
Onstage in fishnet, tux and tilted hat
Perhaps a southern gentleman named Harland
got bucketed with her & chicken fat
one never knows & that’s how rumors start
evangelizing scandal grists the mills
so Liz & Nicky/Eddie/Dick take part
take center stage take umbrage & take pills
how tragic for a Marilyn or Janis
eclipsed not just by death but also boredom
Comes Jerry Springer’s antics to unman us
until we’ve seen it all in all its whoredom
let’s
take
up
rumor-mangling and pray
elation puts the brakes on Judgment Day
