LYRICS
Have you humans no self worth?
Living on a giant pile of filth
Just selfishness and greediness
Leads inevitably to worthlessness

Does the Pope poop in the woods
A bear Catholic… believing God is good
Can you see the trees through the forest
If one falls can it be heard by the rest

Have you humans all gone mad
Not even the lightest bit sad
Am I standing here all alone
Thinking it’s a shame to trash our own home?

Does the Pope Poop in the Woods? .mp3

LYRICS
Do you dread what’s in your head
And when you come to
Will you think so, too?

Do you dread what’s in your head?

Well, my guess
If I were to wager
If I were to place a bet
I could just wait and see
As far as I can see
You set your own destiny

You’re better off to figure
Before you pull the trigger
You better figure it out
Don’t scream and shout

Can’t we just put it to bed?

Oh please don’t ever let me get dread locks in my head

LYRICS
I think it’s time we had a talk with your mother
Unless you have some sort-of druther
I think it’s best if we had a talk with your mother
What’s she gonna think when she see’s this stink
“Jesus, not another”

Mamm, I don’t know if you know who I am
No need to slam
But you might want to have a confidential with your boy
’cause it seems in the pursuit of joy
He thought all the rest of us were just his toy
So please
Get him to cease

If I may say…
Being interrupted in such a rude way
I think it’s time we had a talk with your mother
I’m thinking she might be left in awe
Ahhhhh

I’m aweful sorry Ma
But, after all the awe
Your son has caused such dismay
So if I may
Go outside and play
If I may ask
Just spank his ass
That boy is out-of-control
He’s an outta control troll

Take a ride on the slide
Bring your inside
Down to Earth
For what it’s worth

No sense trying to hide the inside
Let your inside out
Let everyone know everywhere

You’ve got nothing to hide
Let your inside…
Out
Let the whole world know what you’re about

Let your inside slide
Let it out
You can find out what you’re all about

Every time you go by there’s an eye-in-the-sky

Or, is my life all about me, me, me, mine
What if it was fine just about all the time

When insanity ceases
Gotta pick up the pieces

When the whole world comes tumbling down
Gotta pick up the pieces
When the whole world comes tumbling down
Comes tumbling down all around
When it’s found tumbling down all around

When the whole world comes tumbling down
There’s no sanity to be found
None around
When insanity ceases
Gotta pick up the pieces

Sometimes when you look out your window
It’s hard to know
If there’s anything anywhere
If there’s anyone anywhere
The wants to share
Our experience
Experience the essence

When the whole world comes tumbling down
Gotta pick up the pieces
When sanity ceases
When the tenants are paying their leases
When sanity ceases
When hostages need releases
Pick up the pieces

No you can’t dismiss
Where ya gonna run at a time like this?
If it comes down to just one wish
(and granted that wish probably won’t be granted)
Where ya gonna run at a time like this

Outside? Inside?
If the outside is inside?

Is your basement your first floor
Where is your front door
When the water is bargin’ in
Where to begin

When the message you… I… we… send
Is gonna bring on The End

I shouldn’t complain about bringing on The End
I should HAVE complained about bringing on The End

LYRICS
Are we just scratching the surface
Or, are we already in too deep?

If we could only let the knowledge seep
Into our heart
Into our mind
Into our soul
Maybe we could cut down on the human toll
I don’t want to be the troll of your body
But it’s easy see
But if that’s what you’re calling me

Are we just scratching the surface
Are we in too deep

I believe the temperature is rising
It’s really not surprising
Not the slightest bit
Now it won’t quit
Need more proof
It’s going through the roof

The only problem… our race can’t adapt to living in space
’cause we trashed this place

And, it’s penetrating me
Can’t let it get the best of me

Can’t let it get the best of me

Don’t look back
