Collapse

                                  When it finally collapsed all you heard was the radio static

And the fluttering sound of the bird that was trapped in the attic

But you couldn't be sure that it wasn't just all in your head

As you carefully swept all the broken glass out of your bed



When it finally collapsed all the actors were hotly protested

The people they had to portray were a little depressing

So a grass roots initiative based upon sharing and trust

Went into production to harness the power of dust



When it finally collapsed as it had been since way before when

The pedophiles did their rendition of You've Got a Friend

Everyone had to admit that it wasn't half bad

But they still felt uneasy fearing they'd be dismissed as a fad



When it finally collapsed giant billboards made people aware

Of the idea that we are comprised of just water and air

A vandal had written that Jesus knows just how you feel

When you're falling asleep, asleep at the wheel
