lyrics

All the gods have flown away
Now we idol common clay
No more psalms of deep devotion
Just the thrill of the pop-explosion

And it's not the same
No, it's not the same
In fact it's pretty lame

Sing the song of liberation
Sing the song of masturbation
Sing the song of mild abrasion
Sing the song

Damn it all. Everything's been done
Nothing new underneath the sun
Even triumph becomes rotten
Ever deed is soon forgotten

Christ, now what am I going to do?
Should I eat, drink, sleep, or screw?
No more happy ever after
Just the cackle of tragic laughter

And it's not the same
No, it's not the same
In fact it's pretty lame

Sing the song of liberation
Sing the song of masturbation
Sing the song of mild abrasion
Sing the song of mastication

about

Showroom Toronto, Ontario

Showroom was a band. A good band. While Toronto is a city, Showroom was a band within that city, and received praise from music critics who themselves were human beings with feelings.

Showroom made music that made people want to dance, smile, reflect, run, walk, roll over, heel, and eat dinner. Their records were projected to sell over 1,000,000,000,000 copies. Outrageous? No. Just call it true.
