Life on Mars?
Song by David Bowie . 1971.
The lyrics by Bowie.....
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow....
Suggest that Mickey Mouse, a symbol of childhood innocence and culture, “growing up a cow” could be the loss of purity and the commodification of ideals, with the cow symbolizing consumerism or a “cash cow.”
