Homogenized

She wears her corporate look like a cheap facade
The death of different cultures
I watch with my strained eyes
Globes on fire twitching in small sockets

When can we be proud of our diversity?

Abundance in the gourmet grocery store
Fresh meat, bread and pastries
A man on the corner begging for change
A homeless guy reads a book about Princess Di

Eating white bread, getting fat, and under read

Her dyed blonde hair speaks her denial
She can pretend if she wants to, if she wants to
Her beautiful lips covered in pale pink lipstick
Slowly dying in her pressed gray suit

Here comes another one sitting right down to the next one

In her nice wool coat she'll meet The Man
But he won't be fooled
Oh he's so civilized
But he might as well shoot her, twice

Just an appeasement from years of domination

Her dyed blonde hair speaks her denial
She can pretend if she wants to, if she wants to
Her beautiful lips covered in pale pink lipstick
Slowly dying in her pressed gray suit

Why can't she be proud of who she really is?

Why can't I? Why?
Why can't I? Why?
Why?

Still starving shell of a former self
Plastic surgery knows no end
A snakebite for a nose
Shorten your name; make it sound like Kaye or Jones

Then we'll all be homogenized and paralyzed
