    Joe: (to himself as he walks out of prison)
    I'm out at last
    Boy, the world
    Sure looks different
    Wow...there's hardly
    Anything fun to do
    Since they made
    Music illegal
    But i'm hooked
    I got the habit
    I've got to have it
    I need to play
    But there's no
    Musicians anymore
    They're all gone
    Wait! i've got it!
    I'll be sullen and
    Withdrawn
    I'll dwindle off into
    The twilight realm
    Of my own secret
    Thoughts
    I'll walk through
    The parking lot
    In a semi-
    Catatonic state
    And dream of
    Guitar notes
    To go with the
    Loading-zone
    Announcements.

    Joe wanders through the world which by then has been totally epoxied over, carefully organized, with everyone reporting daily to his or her appointed place in a line somewhere in front of a wind
    Mewhere in a building somewhere in order to collect his or her welfare check, which, when cashed, made it possible for the young ones to continue the payments for the obsolete and irreparable ap
    Ces their parents had purchased on the instalment plan years ago, providing as security the future incomes of their children. the rest of these checks were used by the young recipients to buy fu
    Ngs of their own on credit, most of which broke down or failed within moments of purchase and seemed to be stacking up everywhere.

    As joe stumbles over mounds of dead consumer goods formed into abstract statues dedicated to the quality of american craftsmanship, dreaming his stupid little guitar notes, he hears, somewhere i
    Back of his head, the voice of mrs. borg, taunting him:

    Mrs. borg's voice:
    Turn it down!
    Turn it down!
    I have children
    Sleeping here!
    Don't you boys know
    Any nice songs?
    I'm calling the police!
    I did it!
    They'll be here...
    Shortly!
    I'm not joking around
    Anymore!
    You'll see now!
    There they are...
    They're coming!
    Listen to that mess,
    Would you!
    Every day this goes on
    Around here!
    He used to
    Cut my grass...
    He was a
    Very nice boy...
    He used to
    Cut my grass...
    He was a
    Very nice boy...
    He used to
    Cut my grass...
    He was a
    Very nice boy...
    He used to
    Cut my grass...
    He was a
    Very nice boy...

    Central scrutinizer:
    This is the central scrutinizer... yes...he used to be a nice boy...he used to cut the grass...but now his mind is totally destroyed by music. he's so crazy now he even believes that people are
    Ng articles and reviews about his imaginary guitar notes, and so, continuing to dwindle in the twilight realm of his own secret thoughts, he not only dreams imaginary guitar notes, but, to make
    Rs worse, dreams imaginary vocal parts to a song about the imaginary journalistic profession...
