What Shall We Do Now

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces 

Where waves of hunger roar 

Shall we set out across this sea of faces

 In search of more and more applause

 Shall we buy a new guitar 

Shall we drive a more powerful car 

Shall we work straight-through the night

 Shall we get into fights 

Leave the lights on 

Drop bombs

 Do tours of the East

 Contract diseases 

Bury bones 

Break up homes

 Send flowers by phone

 Take to drink 

Go to shrinks

 Give up meat 

Rarely sleep 

Keep people as pets 

Train dogs

Race rats 

Fill the attic with cash

 Bury treasure 

Store up leisure 

But never relax at all 

With our backs to the wall
