Mercedes Benz from "Dada Punk" by Tachlis

Get out my way
Do you know
All my sons friends
Are called
Hortatio
I’m untouchable
Invincible
I’m my Mercedes Benz
Untouchable
Invincible
In my Mercedes Benz

And I’ve never been to Morrisons
I’ve sold
Smashed as a windscreen
But there is not a dent
There is not a scratch on my Mercedes Benz
And that is why my children love me
That is why the heavens above me
Will forgive me
For all of the terrible things I’ve done
To get this Mercedes Benz
All the lives I’ve ruined
The sunsets I’ve seen
The terrible places I’ve been

And the impoverished children cannot get me in here
It is double glazed and tinted black
They cannot see me but I see them
I judge them with all of my heart and my mind
I judge them with all of my heart and my mind

Dead
In a car crash
At forty nine years old
But the car was undamaged
Every organ in his body
Spilled across the road
Like a Tracy Emin instillation
And all the people waiting at the train station
Missed their trains
To watch the remains
Of a very wealthy man
And they looked just the same
As a poor man’s organs
Many epiphanies were had that day
But his Mercedes Benz remains
Completely unscratched
It will live in gleaming perfection
Beyond the universe itself
The end
