LYRICS
I aim to tame
I’m…
The lyin’ tamer
Constitutional framer
Lyin’ tamer
The politic
The rhetoric
The hypocrite
Who you calling a heretic?
Enough to make me sick
You couldn’t be much lamer
Look out! Here comes the lyin’ tamer
It’s a jungle out there
Better beware
Those elected officials have the initials
F.U.
F you
They say F! you and then some, too
The lyin’ tamer
Lying in wait
To participate
In the taming of your ass
An opportunity I couldn’t let pass

LYRICS
It’s not a joke
All of us will croak
But, like the Crocus
All of us
Can spring forth again
Like an Iris I am
It’s OK to be a Pansy
When you spring to life so easily
Sun or part shade
No need to be afraid
Moist, well drained
Voiced, well brained
Sprout like a Daffodil
Get your life’s fill
Don’t take a toll on your soul
Narcissus ilk not narcissistic
Trumpet birth in the Spring
And, the sprouting it will bring
LYRICS
Does anybody know if this is it?
The decision of the ribbon
The decision of the rhythm
Ribbin’
Like string theory
Doesn’t have to be such a mystery
Just use your mind’s eye… I
Decypher the cypher in the sky
The decision of the ribbon
Rubbing the ribbon
More like how a butterfly flaps it’s wings
The resulting things
Chaos theory
The decision of the ribbon
The decision of the rhythm
In the chaos theory

The song was inspired by the ribbon controller on an Alesis Vortex keyboard.

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
