THE KING!? Consumerist Elvis

His rhinestone suit is made of brand logos and plastic waste as a criticism of the environmental and social costs of hyper-consumerism.

A symbol of western culture, and a casualty of it, talent and beauty transmogrified into a symbol, the person behind which died through overconsumption, reveals the Icon as the modern-day ghost.

From DIRTY POSTCARDS by Harry de Sousa

ELVIS PRESLEY - A Little Less Conversation - JXL

A Little less isolation, a little more vaccine please
All this separation ain’t saving your sanity
A little more breath a little less rife
A little less death a little more life
Shut your mouth and open up my arm and baby immunise me
Immunise me
Immunise me

Paralyse the minds of all of those around
Then steal anything you need
It’s a pricy life and only 1 percent survive
But you can buy the dream, just sell your soul to me, yeah

A Little less isolation, a little more vaccine please
All this contemplation ain’t growing my GDP
A little more had a little less save
A little less glad a little more crave
Shut your heart and open up your palm and baby monetise me
Monetise me
Monetise me

Come on baby everyone’s a target
Human life’s a lucrative market
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
You are dignified,
you are justified,
you’re not hypnotised,
don’t you dare open your eyes

A Little less isolation, a little more vaccine please
Then you’ll all be free to continue worshipping me
A little less peace a little more war
A little less less a little more more
Shut your man and open up your beast and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me
Satisfy me
