bookmark_borderThick Rhetoric

LYRICS
The ship of our see
Heading toward tragedy
Over the falls
Building of walls
Thick rhetoric
Making us sick
Speaking in forked tongues
Of bogus battles won
Best at beating our chests
For poisoning our lungs
Won and done
’till our did
Is diddly squat
’till our did
Is not
Thick rhetoric
Making us sick

Thump!
We get wet
And, I think

Causing quite a stink?!?!?!
What do you want
When you drain the swamp?

Idiot Proof Part 2.mp3

LYRICS
Do they offer insurance for diarrhea of the mouth
If so, do you have enough wealth
’cause it’s hard for me to see
How you could afford a policy

You can spew for more than just a few
Wouldn’t that be great if your time’s come due?
Claiming to do things you can’t do
Logic more than tainted… it’s askew
In fact, the logic is so sick
I almost fainted… it’s true
It’s lost any resemblance
To a thought that’s slick
In this instance there’s not even semblance
Thick as a brick
Self-spoof. Poof! Idiot proof. Wait! That’ it! You’ve got it — proved to be an idiot

LYRICS
What kind of fool
Wants to rule the gene pool
King of the world

Whorled unfurled hurled
Into reality
Whorled unfurled hurled
Totality. King of the world
Brutality. King of the world

Man against man
I don’t understand
Inhumane human
Grand stand on the grandstand

Battle to the bottom
Go get ’em got ’em
People dying to get into heaven
