It was a dark and lonely night

When my woman died

You and me, we killed her

Though the coroner's note said suicide

Objectification, that's the name of the game

Objectification, that's the name of the game

She tried to love and please us all

My God, she tried in vain

We showed all our love for her

By keeping her in an eight by ten frame

Some people say that's the price of pain

Objectification, that's thе name of the game

I sat in thе dark movie theater

Eating popcorn, drinking coke

Laughing at and envying this woman who said to me

'Hey sister, don't make me a joke'

Objectification, was the name of my game

Objectification, was the name of the game

We sat around, laughed as the golden goddess took her fall

She fought all those images, she popped her pills, drank alcohol

Why, on that night, didn't we give her a call

We didn't get them, that's all

Ten years later I find myself writing this song

It's taken all this time to find out what we did wrong

Objectification, so long

Objectification, so long

It was a dark and lonely night

You and me, we killed her

Though the coroner's note said suicide

Objectification, was the name of the game

And I swear by [?] it will never happen again

Objectification, was the name of the game
