LYRICS
You call this art? Need a blood flowchart
The art of warfare is everywhere
I could sure start with a blood flowchart
Beware of the blood-flow over there
I wouldn’t want you to step in it
It’s worse than stepping in… worse than stepping in… stepping in $hit
The art of warfare is everywhere
A picture’s worth a thousands words
A million words can’t describe the toll of a sole soul
The art of warfare is everywhere
Ya know this ain’t Vincent Van Gogh
We make Picasso look less absurd
The risk to every art critic… you’re gonna get hit
There’s a fan… and, when the $hit gets to it… you’re gonna get hit
The art of warfare is everywhere
LYRICS
May I say, happy holiday? Can you tell me, “How do you like your turkey?”
Our recipe for catastrophe:
Now, somehow Moscow resides on both sides
In France, they’re doing the (anti)terror dance
Invoking the Kremlin gremlin
The Kremlin gremlin provoking a turkey basting
Are you telling me I am the delicacy? Noooo… I don’t wanna be in the recipe!
Too many cooks in the kitchen… too many kooks in the kitchen
And, here I am sayin’, “I need a die-a-gram”
All the while up to their ears in Syria diarrhea
Some sick Islamic
Don’t ya think that’ll stink?
Leave it up to their fears in Syria diarrhea
You ISIS? I is not ISIS
No Boca Raton killing marathon
While Al-Shabaab rape n’ rob
Run as fast as you can from the Taliban
Oh my gawd! No Jihad
Please read the Qur’an agin’
Is that what is meant? The Qur’an is based on the New Testament… which is based on the Old Testament. We’re all on top of the same base-meant.
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”
The Saudi’s out of Yemen
Can I get an Amen?
They ran from Iran
More than a crack in Iraq
Now who’s gettin’ in
Na, na, na not China
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”
What’s left of the leftovers? What’s the deal with this holiday meal? I’ve been rooked… the turkey’s over-cooked! What else can I say on Thanksgiving Day?
Die-a-gram for Over-cooked Turkey

LYRICS
Run, rabbit, run
To save your life… or, just for fun
Run, rabbit, run
… er, a… can you see your enemy is like diarrhea
And, can you see… a… when that $hit hits the fan
Do you understand? Don’t you think you’re gonna stink?
Hate ain’t no panacea
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
parading through the world all atrocious
wow the awe of superfluous superpower
Could be man’s final hour

A verse inspired by the wildfires in Chile burning in the forests of 1,000 old puzzle monkey trees. (At least the government of Chile recognizes it as the effects of human induced climate change.) Another verse is inspired by the ISIS destruction of ancient artifacts in Syria using sledgehammers and bulldozers. I guess you could say the song is about human induced destruction of everything.
Araucaria araucana — commonly called the monkey puzzle tree
The origin of the popular English language name ‘monkey puzzle’ derives from its early cultivation in Britain in about 1850, when the species was still very rare in gardens and not widely known. Sir William Molesworth, the proud owner of a young specimen at Pencarrow garden near Bodmin in Cornwall was showing it to a group of friends, one of them – the noted barrister and Benthamist Charles Austin remarked, “It would puzzle a monkey to climb that”. [Because it takes a 1,000 years for them to grow, young specimens are tiny.] As the species had no existing popular name, first ‘monkey puzzler’, then ‘monkey puzzle’ stuck. — Wikipedia
LYRICS
Hard to believe the pace
Of our latest arms race
Russia, Iraq, Afghanistan
Not really sure which wars we’re in?
Ukraine, Syria, Iran…
You reign? Seriously, I ran
Where to begin….
Russia rushing in
For crying out loud
While all the while Putin actin’ proud
Crimea Annexation
Cry me a river (exasperation!)
Unbelievable human race
Gonna leave us without a trace
Spreading like Malaria in Nigeria
I’s is in hysteria
Isis and Boko Haram
Teenage hostage harem
LYRICS
Can you take a look
Help me get a grip
Do I have a big fat lip?
Chorus
Been insulted… been assaulted
Victim of Lady Justice
No mate for Goddess Maat
Isis ain’t in this thesis
“If some god has been holding the balance of Dike….”
Imbalance they strike
The Man comes
Knocks you down
Logic runs
Down the drain
Fat Cat’s rats
Mow you down
While the clown
Lost his brain
The song is about the justice system. Lady Justice can be traced back to Goddesses Maat, Isis and Dike. The quote is about Goddess Dike.
The personification of justice balancing the scales of truth and fairness dates back to the Goddess Maat, and later Isis, of ancient Egypt. The Hellenic deities Themis and Dike were later goddesses of justice. Themis was the embodiment of divine order, law, and custom, in her aspect as the personification of the divine rightness of law. However, a more direct connection is to Themis’ daughter Dike, who was portrayed carrying scales
“If some god had been holding level the balance of Dike” is a surviving fragment of Bacchylides’s poetry. Ancient Rome adopted the image of a female goddess of justice, which it called Justitia. Since Roman times, Justitia has frequently been depicted carrying scales and a sword, and wearing a blindfold.
