Sometimes parody appeals to me


WOODSTOCK+40



Oh Lord, don’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
My kids are in rehab, I must make amends.
Toyotas and Hondas are now my best friends;
So Lord don’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz.

Lord, please don’t buy me a colour TV
I’m counting on you Lord, I don’t need HD
The kids are IMing and Tivo till three
So Lord don’t you buy be a colour TV.

Lord don’t you buy me a night on the town
I’m crazy already, and think I might drown.
Those twenty four sick packs and interesting brown
Please Lord, don’t you buy me a night on the town.

Oh Lord if you let it a favour I’ll crave
Tattoos that I died for I’d like to erase
I don’t know who ‘John’ was and “Willard’ was crazed
So Lord could you wipe out those old crazy days?

Quirky and amusing - if the 'Woodstock+40' generation had for looked far into the future at the time - they would have been very disillusioned.
