I've made things with clay and been covered with mud.
I've seen men do miracles hands covered in blood.
I've coveted much and been subjected to flood.
I’ve been forged in fire and rejected as a dud.
Lead the charge of the light brigade and sack the old city.
I'm too young to be adjusted stuck in sudden self-pity.
everybody gets down i was sunk and feeling shitty.
decisions made regretted get vetoed by committee.
And I’ve sworn off tofu, I eat meat and potatoes
And I’m into anarchism, feminism and landscaping
Men our mission is the system and our time’s a wasting
Just picking up the pieces and sticking up for feces.
I don’t want to always get shit on, shower and shave,
And find out fast the last thing I am is brave
I’ve killed a lot of time watching cable lately
The art of conversation interferes with cheers
You can’t make me, can’t make anyone do what they don’t wanna
Apathy is in, the medium is marijuana
Each one teach one, but never trust a preacher
The pope smokes dope so reach for the reefer
Why does every channel serve up a different sermon
I know I prefer my pulpit in the sewer with the vermin
I once went to church, now I choose The Godfather
on DVD trilogy as the source of my divinity.
I passed by the Pope
& looked to a [Francis Ford] Coppola
to cope with the 'end of the rope' type thing. [Rope, 1948 film]
I bring a critical view to the pew
because too much starts up as fiction, like the taming of the shrew,
and then gets misconstrued.
So I snuck out of Midnight Mass [Catholic service] at the risk of being rude-
because the words were nonsense, the pacing unbearable.
So I don't drive on Sundays, because the traffic is terrible.
I've got plenty of confidence. I don't need a leader.
If you wonder what I worship: Then it's at the movie theater.
Admiring the off-color humor of the Coen brothers; [Joel & Ethan]
Loving [Alfred] Hitchcock, [Martin] Scorsese, [Stanley] Kubrick, and many others.
My devotion is deep like Michael's disappointment in Fredo; [Godfather II]
And my mind's manipulated like Plato, [Greek philosopher]
but not by a pastor or minister!
I manipulate the fast forward
as a method of confession, addressing the sins of past years.
Attempting to cleanse
like an invention of Louis Pasteur. [French scientist, discovered penicillin]
I've made things with clay and been covered with mud.
I've seen men do miracles, hands covered in blood.
I've coveted much and been subjected to flood.
I’ve been forged in fire and rejected as a dud
