BONNIE WATSON Watching the bones glowing in the flame I missed the earthquake what a shame Crematorium loud hum Bombinate drown out ground motion I don't know how you do what you do She said wheeling a corpse through The man who burnt the bodies up Gathered up the ashes with a pail and a brush And he put them in a contraption Like a machine from Sherwin Williams And when those shards to dust did turn He'd dump them all into an urn Mumbling maledictions at his choice of vocation Upstairs we saw the green baby This really freaked out Marc Tweed We Crept by the tiny coffin Filled with toys and depression The Hearses Were Always Shiny The Mortician Seemed Happy I Really Dug the Silence And the Sense of Reverence I used to slack in the hall closet Where all the records were kept Books listing the casualties Back to the 19th Century Reading them I felt a sordid bliss I can't believe I'm paid for this Watching the bones glowing in the flame I missed the earthquake what a shame Watching the bodies glowing in the flame I missed the earthquake what a shame Pest Control at the Funeral Home. . .

GENOCIDE IS MEAN : ) Genocide is Mean And you shouldn't commit it Cause you'll hurt people's feelings Genocide is bad and it makes people sad And upsets the world community Push the Jews into the sea And hack up every Tutsi Shiites slaying Sunnis Duck here comes the Janjaweed Genocide is wrong But it don't take very long To understand its popularity Genocide is extreme But it seems to be the means For nations too express hostility Push the Jews into the sea And hack up every Tutsi Shiites slaying Sunnis Duck here comes the Janjaweed Our chimpanzee ancestry Displayed essential savagery When stalking their enemy Their violent escapades Injected into our DNA Survives to this very day Genocide is cruel But you would be a fool To think it will ever go away Genocide makes sense Its the heart of darkness That infects Humanity Push the Jews into the sea And hack up every Tutsi Shiites slaying Sunnis Duck here comes the Janjaweed Hitler koo-koo as a clock Stalin eyeing the Kulaks Turks killing Armenians Life devoid of reason

Family Tree 02:40
FAMILY TREE 60,000 years ago We left the motherland below To spread our genes A mixed blessing For you and me. . . 30,000 years ago We killed the last Neanderthal Now we are free To unleash hostility Toward you and me. . . 2,000 years ago We nailed God to a pole How he did bleed Hypothetically For you and me. . .

I feel puissant Like a prepubescent Contemplating his first ejaculation My thoughts are swarming Synapse deforming Unnatural but seldom boring Half hypnagogic Quarter sardonic The rest of them you might consider demonic Do you know you're not special? That's fine neither am I Beethovens are very rare And most of us do die Maybe send some genes spinning relentlessly In their dark majesty Until the sun stops fusing and final entropy We are abhorrent But I can't ignore it That just adds to the moment My brain is needy Glucose greedy And I'm not sure that it needs me

170 rows in the water Triremes heading for the slaughter We’ve done it once before Smashed the Persian horde Celebrate diversity With French supplied machetes Ethnicities a sore Rotten to the core We decorate our skin Like decadent chameleons Frozen in decline The West has lost its mind The war of all against all Is kept at bay by the rule of law Lest unleash all that’s foul In the human animal Give an American Occam’s razor and then Eventually they’ll slice Their wrists and bleed and die

Orpheus I truly ain’t But I can’t stop it seems too late More booze! The fact that we’re feeling fine Blows my mind look at the time We’re screwed! I suggest annihilation is a no win situation Blues Utter obliteration, Ultimate Decimation Blues I would swim within your veins Obtain a hemoglobin stain Of you Wolf if low, yeah, wolf if low, yeah Wolf if low, a palindrome Abused I suggest annihilation is a no win situation Blues Utter obliteration, Ultimate Decimation Blues

Solitary poor, nasty brutish short. . . Power to the people A recipe for evil People are not blank slates That you can write beautiful things on We are mostly morons Power to the people A recipe for evil You and I and all are Hateful animals And we’ve got no souls Power to the people A recipe for evil

Swiss 03:26
You are the one thing That right now makes sense to me Put up with my rants Cigarette in your hands We drink beer together Eyes on the television Seldom get angry Though I can be lazy I write these damn songs While the bills pile up You drove a long way To move to my birth state The people are ugly No fish in Missouri But we will escape From the Midwest no way Swiss if you died In three seconds I’d find a way To be with you under the dirt There’s nothing in the Bible that says I can’t kill myself So if you passed I would follow you closely Down

PSA 03:04
The way you act you’d think we were One public service announcement From utopia Nine out of ten times the cynic is right Lord I’ve seen the light And fuck it ain’t so bright The way you act you’d think we were One public service announcement From utopia Nine out of ten times the cynic is right H.L. Mencken said, a pity that he’s dead Because he’d love to see In the 21st Century That we’re batting ten out of ten. . .

Weatherman 02:33
He wanted to be a weatherman But he had 666 tattooed on his head That didn’t fly very far Meteorology and demonology Don’t mix well I’ve been told Worshiping Satan Anton Lavey poster On the wall And tucked into his bed A love doll Grotesque puffy red lips Why worship a devil Who can’t get you a real female? Doesn’t make much sense to me Worshipping Satan Man, your philosophy Really sort of kind of seems Juvenile at the very best A dime store fascination with An imaginary prince of darkness Makes Christianity seem cool

If you want to, we can fade away If you care to, we can die today I don’t want to seem Narcissistic in extreme But people seldom do what I want them to If you wish to, we can dissipate If you swear to, we can desegregate I don’t want to seem Narcissistic in extreme But people seldom do what I want them to
