Belly Full of Lies

Listen to what the snake charmers say: We be sulfuric scaly bellies, flicking poisonous tongues on the telly Idoly speak pure Orwellie — Down is up ... famine be a feast sup Tell money hungry fools they’re full of it, when their ears drink from our lung vault empty purse cup Listen to what a snake charmer spray: Me leprechaun lips speak titan talk ... phat pocket swellie I spit brass piss, and call it golden rain, on your lemming brain grey umbrellie These cobra eyes tell a little robbing hoodie lie each bent cross day Then me boast the Big Lie, sell it at bottom feeder price ... make dim blind mice pay when they look the other way Me cockatrice cries fill your belly full of lies Empty turtle shell truth is the swastika soup I love to pour in toilet bowl mouths Hateful language is the milk poppy hex curse that I sugar Cain bosom fed mules from their piggy snout Balaam Iscariot birth Us posh puff adders love sending toadies on a hallucinogenic, golden goose leap ... Flying locust pestilent blind onto the dung pile Pot belly boa roil bad luck ... paper chase pillow tucked Cannabis dreams sucked in by serpentine wile We scaly belly anaconda roll sway with a slithering smile ... Giving foible fools a terrible tummy ache ... tasting maggot foul, constipated lies boiled cannibal style
