Where The Grass Don't Grow The historical record bared to see In worn-torn pages, undecipherable. And I’m to believe that this sum total Will explain everything you say to me, Mixed with phlegm spewed from the esophagus, Spitting in my face like a rhinoceros, That means nothing more than that goat in the field, Whose skull is thicker than the ape’s you entail. Beat your gums and wave your arms frequent And act the fool on steroids, to impress the simple; Regurgitating words and acting stupid, Like an awoken irritant that won’t exit. Where the grass doesn’t grow, but the ‘you know’ will. And the rooster struts and the hens cluck, And the dogs bark, and the pigs are smart, And the sun shines on my behind, in kind.
