the joke is on you

Post by revolutionR » December 2nd, 2014, 5:57 pm

The shit is hitting the fandango
rotate your tires, the universe is rotating
on its axis in the vortex of night, alignments
are happening, whether you know it or not
there is something that the most intelligent
people in the world don't know, yet
but they have told the rest of us, that they don't
if the cat's got your tongue, that one percent
should give you pause, consider how big is Buddha
that there are things written in books, that we
will never understand, let alone agree with, keep
your finger nails just in case, say your prayers

even if you don't believe in anything
nobody will blame you for being a closet christian
you don't have to ask for a Ferrari, ask for a pistol
to shoot yourself in the head with, you don't matter
and you just might get what you want, a last request
in the mean time take out the trash, it's ok to talk trash
and when you are dine with that, take out the garbage

You think you were a twinkle is someone's eye
don't bother to think again, the feeling is gone, never
to come back, it's not what you lack, it what you have
too much of, all those old magazines and newspapers
you stack in the shed, that is the content of your mind
the ones that you could not find the story for the words
it's time to recycle, but not what you might think, fink

go out and have a drink, have one for the road, shrink
the whole wide world is on the brink of recycling itself
might as well indulge some of your wild fantasies, kink
the oceans are rising, and the polar caps are melting
what are you waiting for, the return of Jesus, Hitler's
doctor to hit you with some meth, take another breath
the air is still free, and each breath holds the stardust
of everything that ever existed, don't resist, it's futile

smile, even if it hurts, trouble is coming everyday
there's a riot going on, yuck it up, it's yucking you up
it's hurling chunks of your brains on drugs, like propaganda
you saw the cute little panda bear on Chinese television
the revolution came and went, like Christmas, like three
wise men, don't get bent, pay the rent, you will never
make a dent, let along a red cent to scrape together
just sing some old songs that your grandma sang
she was putting the zing zing zing on everything too
don't be blue, nobody gives a damn, rejoyce! praise the bored!
