LYRICS
It all adds up
We know what to do
First there’s one
Then there’s two
We can figure
What we need to do
First there’s one
Then there’s you

Agreein’ with Pythagorean
We’ve got to get it right…
Got to get our angle right
Right?
Quite right!
May the sum of your square be right there
Time to play a little Pythag tag…
You’re it!
This “to infinity” bit just won’t quit
Pi won’t die…
It just keeps on going and going and going
(and, I thought 33 and a third was absurd — 33.33)

LYRICS
No! I’ll never say never ever again
No, never!
Even if they discover
… hell froze over

When did I begin
Becoming the poster child
For self-contradiction
Some sick logic gone wild

And always is just about as rare
As never
Always is never good to compare
Whenever

Chorus

I guess there is an exception or two
Two, too
Such as 1 is 1 always holds true
No matter what you do

Chorus

I can never live forever
Never
Always 100% chance of weather
Forever

LYRICS
Your grievous actions
Have made me sit up… take notice
They’ll be no satisfactions
Out of ill will and malice

When it comes to human rights
You seem to have missed the boat
All your ridiculous fights
The logic just won’t float

The time is coming
For our cup overflowing
We will discover
Our cup spilleth over

LYRICS

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To beat the egg

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

Let’s go to the otherside

Leaving the irrational behind

Let’s ride the train of thought

To the otherside

A place that’s logical we’ll find

From that compassion will result

On the rightside

Why did Jack and Jill go up the hill?

To chuck your muck

Let’s fetch a wail of laughter

And, live happily everafter

If you fell down and broke your crown

Let’s leave the irrational behind

Leaving the irrational behind

Let’s ride the train of thought

To the otherside

A place that’s logical we’ll find

From that compassion will result

On the otherside

bookmark_borderFrackin Chicken Franchise

This song is dedicated to Rob, Alix, Gandolf and especially N.A. Poe:

I wanna start a fracking chicken franchise
Where we frack chicks for everyone
A fracking chicken franchise
In every Occupy
To supply
Jobs for all

Enough with the GA
And, how they say
“Which came first
The chicken or the egg?”

Frack putting the round hole
Around the square peg

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To try n’ hide
From the ridiculous side
Of the mob slob

Instead, let us be fed
With frackin’ chicken
The Frackin’ Chicken Franchised
Just, trademarked
Over a foul remark
Meant to cause ill will
Still, we will not run a fowl…

Now, Kentucky Fried Chicken
Is mighty fine
But, all I ask is to dine…
With Frackin’ Chicken so sublime

Enough of the straw-poul…treeeee
God, help me

A frackin’ chicken franchise
In every Occupy
Will supply
’till the day we die
*repeat*

About This Song
It is about the Occupy Occupy Movement. Those people who think that Occupy Philly needs to be occupied have now protested the protest with their occupation 🙂

Written at Occupy Philadelphia by Daniel Brouse and Rob… and friends [in the media tent with the spirit of mass media]
