Okay I Did Not Rape My Grandma But Did Kill My Mother
A VIEW FROM BEYOND THE BLUE
I hate to see the world grow this way
Everything seems like an aimless gray
Over there used to be a cow’s habitat all blazingly green
Now it’s just another iron and concrete scene
Building latter day dinosaurs against our iconoclastic dreams
They grow taller and stronger fortified by iron beams
Over there used to be where I played football as a child
But now it’s that same field progress has defiled
My eyes scan the scenery and cry for a society’s pretense
Weeping for the fools without shame nor common sense
Each day the sky is obscured by what man came to build
And all of those cows have now been killed
This is your worthless world and it’s gone terribly awry
So I’ll remain in the breath of clouds and fantasy’s fog till I die
Because ain’t no reason for me to return except Raggae and rum
And get the valet to pull around our car, but not Jake, he’s too dumb
And you all can do me a favor and entertain me while you bear the crown
I want to spit on every fool, every bigot and everyone I deem a morose clown
So I’ll simply stay where I am in a place that keeps me ever calm
While I seek out men willing to wager on who’ll be the first to release a nuclear bomb
