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

LYRICS
There’s a coon with a cracker
A monkey that’s a wrapper
And a child left swinging in the air

There’s a tomato pronounced tomato-e
I thunk a smell of a skunk
Where’s the dancing bare?

Did I hear you mumble,
“This place is a jungle”
Am I aware…
You wanna get outta there

Did I hear you ramble
About the bramble
How thorns pierce something fierce

LYRICS
You might be the salt of the earth
To your grave… from your birth
Or you might be a wold in sheep’s clothing
Fox in the hen-house… mouth’s frothing

A heart that bleeds
Of a need that feeds?

You might be an angel heaven sent
To save me from a world hell-bent
Or you might be the devil’s advocate
Putting kaboodle into the kit

LYRICS
Go light it
Go ahead ignite it
The fuse will burn
The ignition light
Turn, turn, turn
’till we learn to unite

Woke up this morning
Soon as I heard the news
Without a warning
The Mississippi blues

Chorus

Keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel
Shot your load
Do you know the real deal?

Chorus

Instead of singing the blues
… light the fuse!

LYRICS
Wake!
There’s a wake from a quake
A tsunami headin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
There’s a flood of information comin’ right at me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
For goodness sake… it’s a fake
A wave of dishonesty comin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found
