How Things Do End

The last human on Earth will jump off a cliff
To end her loneliness
The last rich man will starve to death
He can´t eat what he does posess
The last green plant to grow on earth
Will be burnt by the rocket to Mars
The last bit of sky will not show the sun
but a black hole eating the stars
This is how things do end, my friend
Not with a blast in the sky
Things disappear, and you will, my friend,
Not miss them until they die.
The last elected president
Will declare himself a king
The last bride on Earth will not say I do
But sell the offensive ring
The last pacifist will go to war
When all the kids have starved
The last piece of art is not painted nor sung
but a bunker wall, haplessly carved
The last honest man will be shot when hunger
has made him rob a compound
The last serial killer will bury herself
As there´s no more victims around
The last mother gives birth when all midwifes have been
Replaced by mechanical wombs
The last undertaker will break his heart
while covering too many tombs

Nolidays (Keinachten)

No regrets for the holidays
There will be nolidays this year
They are nolidays, but you still can go shop
although your shopping day
will be a smalliday,
with no fee paid, halleluja!
Don´t save cookies for Santa Claus,
while the banter claws away your skin.
You can´t rent a Claus, but you still can eat
although Santa´s boot
will kick your wealthy butt
to Northpole and back again, hosianna!
Have a party without the party, just for you alone
Paint the family, Jack and Emily, with a Sharpie on the wall.
Let your hair down in the toilet after all the food
a whole tofu turkey alone was optimistic
but now you have to eat it all
Here´s to a happy new year,
though we are too fearful to celebrate
But don't boo here, because you can still shoot rockets
just be a fool here despite your fear
of a hospital this year, gloooria!
Music shall be everywhere, Blast the walls away
Make your neighbour cry and bust the fuses,
Why should you tone it down today
Shop until the web is empty, with good tidings fill your house,
Don't reserve a penny for any medicine workers,
They have gotten all the loud applause.
No regrets for the holidays
There are nolidays this year
They are nolidays, but you still can dream
Even nolidays can be jolly days
you can always feel a tiny bit of joy

WORK-SONG
Do you want a happy life? Then prepare for death
Do you want to die in peace? I hope your heir is set
Do you want to build? then you should build a mansion
The mortgage will be mortal and your story ends here.
Bei what you should, a working bee
Think what you should, don´t learn something new
Be grateful for the chance to serve
Be content for working and shuffling and making and
Do you want to be something? The you should found a bank.
Do you want to earn more?
Do you want to create? Create a tax loophole
Do you want to find the reason?
Be productive, cheat the tax bureau,
be creative, move money back and forth
Be healthy, don´t call in sick
Be relevant, earn more and more and more
And we´re dancing and dancing ´round the holy calf
Work - Buy - Make more money
We don´t think about the other half
Mammon is our idol
Consuming gives you inner peace
Emptiness can be filled by shopping
But searching and not finding
will destroy you in the end
Don´t search, don´t search,
Obey, and add, and subtract,
and contract, and don´t act,
but tesseract the unsocial product
