LYRICS
I, I, I, I don’t know right or ought
I, I, I, I don’t know no or not

Did Id get our of control
Like a belligerent troll?

Please release the police
Seize the cease of peace
Never thought I would say
Please release the police
Never thought I’d see the day
When the heathen would pray

“Officer can’t you see… this man is annoying me!”

Did Id cost you your soul
Neck deep in a $#it hole

I’m…
Working on a chain gang
Just paying off time

Working on a chain gang
Paying my dues

“Pray you get a clue… we do… we….”

If I only knew
Fly, flown, flew
To go with the flow
May I someday know

“Pray your days aren’t few… we do… we….”

If only I new
Not bein’ blue
May I someday know
Going with the flow

LYRICS
It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

Much easier to pass through
A much wiser thing to do
Time to act your damn age
And minimize the damage

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

Listen to that slurred speech
You can barely stand on your feet
Not much of a reach
(To say) you’re destined for self defeat

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

The Door Whore
The Door Whore

LYRICS
Please be polite, knock first
Please knock first
Please knock before entering
Have you seen worse
You’d think we’d have learned
Please knock first
No matter the desire to quench your thirst

If there’s one thing I abhor, it’s the door whore
Abhor the door whore

It’s horrid. It’s horrible.
It’s the door whore.

Don’t you know it’s polite to knock first
Knock first
I must suggest… I’ve been avoiding the rest?

If there’s one thing I abhor, it’s the door whore
Abhor the door whore

Try to get a handle on the handle
Don’t make your head throb over the knob
Twist. Turn.

Please
But, please show some courtesy
Don’t you know it’s polite to knock first
No matter the need to quench your thirst
Knock first. Knock first.

If you, want to…
Do the polite thing to do
Knock first.

Look at
The door mat
You’ll see it says, “Welcome!”
Just look at that
Look at
The door mat
You’re welcome to come in
You’re welcome
In

Notice the other sign I share
“Beware Of The Dog”
Notice the other sign I share
“Beware Of The God”

It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! Once More! Before!

It will be less hard on your head
If you listen to what I said
It’ll be a much better day
If you’ll just listen to what I say

Cut down on yelps by opening the door…
Before! Once More! Before!

It’ll be less savage by taking advantage of the handle…
Less scandal

LYRICS
Hmmm… yum, yum, yum

Saw a reflection of a wizard
Looking up at me
Wondering how long
Our history would be

Just for fun
He thought he’d question me
“Can you tell how long
Our history will be?”

I looked into the sky
… with a sigh
“Can you tell me, Creator,
How long we will be?”

She said,
“Son, you see there’s something troubling me…
Creation termination is how it’s gonna be?”

I said,
“You’re right. Thanks for showing me the light.”

Yum, yum, yum we love eatin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love slurpin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love suckin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love throwin’ up dumb

If your prayers come true
Whatcha gonna do?
If your prayers are answered
Who will be mastered

Will your freewill be cancelled?
If so, ain’t that a hazard
Your illusion shattered
Wouldn’t you rather bathe in laughter?

Do you remember laughter?

May it flow like water
Wash the slaughter from our blotter
In the long run, the truth will matter

It’s not as though we couldn’t know
Nor we could not care
It’s not as though we couldn’t forgo
Nor we were unaware
I’m guessing there’s no trying denying

That’s it — the culprit

There’s no deniability
When it comes to you and me
We know very well the certainty
The inevitability
Of our vulnerability
Creating our destiny of reality

LYRICS
Can we speed things up a little bit
Please, can we?
Of course we’re on a collision course
Plain to see

Inevitable collateral damage from the hit
Unfortunately, includes me
But, even worse…
Includes all of us

No sense in slowing down
Seize or freeze
Wear the devil’s crown
Cease to be

Can we hurry things up a bit
Please, can we?
Get a divorce from this collision course
Ohhhh humanity

We’re building a prison
You’re already in
We’re building a prison
Too late to begin

It’s time to shout,
Breakout!
‘take my freedom,
Takeout

What’s our independence all about?

They’re building a prison
I’m already in
They’re building a prison
Too late to begin

Watch the fall… Independence Hall
Watching the fall of us all
Watch the travesty of liberty
Sights our eyes should never see
