The Wind Up Toy
There's a wind up toy with no key
Bent over and stuck facing the ground
A wind up toy with no key
Is useless to society
You can no longer watch them walk
You can no longer watch them talk
This toy can no longer play the part
Of amusing others
There's a wind up toy with no key
Unwanted and unloved
Because it's not what it used to be
Deemed broken
Nobody bothers to try and fix it
Bent over and stuck facing the ground
A wind up toy with no key
Is useless to society
You can no longer watch them walk
You can no longer watch them talk
This toy can no longer play the part
Of amusing others
There's a wind up toy with no key
Unwanted and unloved
Because it's not what it used to be
Deemed broken
Nobody bothers to try and fix it

That's our throwaway society. People don't bother to fix things anymore. Not even themselves ...
