Zappa is the guy Pynchon seems to relate to, makes sense
right? Does he ever mention these satirists?

                         Bodhisattva, would ya take me by
the hand 
                         Can you show me the shine in your
Japan, 
                         The sparkle of your China, can you
show me 
                         Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva 

                         I'm gonna sell my house in town 
                         Bodhisattva, I'm gonna sell my

                         While the poor people sleep with
the shade on the light 
                         While the poor people sleep all the
stars come out at night 
                         While the poor people sleep with
the shade on the light 
                         While the poor people sleep all the
stars come out at night 

                         After closing time at the Guernsey
Fair 
                         I detect the El Supremo 
                         From the room at the top of the
stairs 
                         Well I've been around the world, 
                         And I've been in the Washington Zoo 
                         And in all my travels as the facts
unravel 
                         I've found this to be true: 

                         [Chorus] 

                         They got the house on the corner 
                         With the rug inside 
                         They got the booze they need 
                         All that money can buy 
                         They got the shapely bodies 
                         They got the Steely Dan T-shirts 
                         And for the coupe de grace 
                         They're outrageous 
                         Honey let me tell you 

                         [Chorus] 

                         Show business kids makin' movies of
themselves 
                         You know they don't give a fuck
about anybody else 

                         You know you go to ... 
                         Las Wages, Las Wages, go to Las
Wages
