Titan

On Titan's weary shoulders
a flooded globe is perched—
a shifting load near slipping loose,
his hands for purchase search.
Atop, a crowded ship of fools
upon a rising sea;
A Puzzle'd donkey at the helm
in ill-got drapery.
The citadel has fallen,
the trumpet blast is blown:
The kingdom has been left behind.
We sail toward unknown.
The donkey preens in his false mane
and into mist we drift.
Where the lion, where Godot?
The ship begins to list.
Bent beneath this teet'ring load,
his expression strained, distorted;
But lo! The center cannot hold—
The mighty Atlas sharted.

A prolapse in judgement
Political corruption
Hit me with a bible belt and
Watch my eruption
One phone call
in a holding cell
Better call the NSA,
Make a song in Recording Hell
King Burger and Queen Dairy
Six signs on the Mart Wall
Piper paid with credit card
Savior dosed with aderall
Writing you could read, my friend,
If you could read at all
Nutmeg and Cinnamon
Pepper and a salted rifle
Season the war drug
To taste with bible
States united, we’ve
forgotten the fourth
King Kill and Chief Police are
Dancing on the North
King Burger and Queen Dairy
Six signs on the Mart Wall
Piper paid with credit card
Savior dosed with aderall
Writing you could read, my friend,
If you could read it at all
Things got weird when
God humped the camel
King Rat, he doesn't steal
he just leaves his shit
Six signs for Hell
25 fuckin’ miles
Frack us all into the pit and
Fuck our fucking smiles
King Burger and Queen Dairy
Six signs on the Mart Wall
Piper paid with credit card
Savior dosed with aderall
Writing you could read, my friend,
If you could read at all

He walked into the room
Like he'd walked onto a yacht
Like he'd just drowned her
But he'd just come in to fart
Wild in the eye and
crazy mane of hair
He lingered in my nose
He wasn't even there
Fists are for school yards
Knives for staffroom brawls
Briefcases for pharisees
Gods fight with their bowels
Guns are for the simple and
Bombs are peasant stuff
Radicals use their minds to fight but
Gods fight with their butts
They called him lazy janitor
Thought he slept on shift
Panther in the corridor
His prey stepped in his shit
The grumbles and mop bucket
The jungle panther's ruse
He fouled their cars and fouled their homes
Bacterial tattoos
Fists are for school yards
Knives for staffroom brawls
Briefcases for pharisees
Gods fight with their bowels
Guns are for the simple
Bombs are peasant stuff
Radicals use their minds to fight and
Gods fight with their butts
10,000 gathered for a
Revolution in the offing
Corporate gulag in their sites
They laid down their off'ring
Not a boycott
not a strike
A new way they'd learned to fight
Vats of chili
peaceful assembly
Without a shot, a vanquished enemy
Fists are for school yards
Knives for staffroom brawls
Briefcases for pharisees
Gods fight with their bowels
Guns are for the simple
Bombs are peasant stuff
Radicals use their minds to fight but
Gods fight with their butts
We don't need riots
To keep our rights
Overlords laid low
by urban blight
Brown will be our victory sound
Double-ply unite
It's the 11th hour
Get your ass to the fight
It's the source of your power
And if that doesn't work then
Give 'em the golden shower

Endangered Species—Act!
02:56
|

Polar bears and seals
Watch how I hold this gun
This is how you make those
arctic drillers run
Turn the tundra red
Send their heads to their wives
Pick up this rifle
Death machine cutie pies
Moby Dick took a leg
But his children want the heart
Flesh and bone torpedoes
Tear the fleet apart
Legislation won't stop the butchers
To arms, you bears, to arms!
Nothing to lose but taxidermied chains
If they don’t learn from the past then take the future
Animal farm, whales, animal farm!
The pandas have the chainsaws
Like Mongol hordes they ride
The party's over, commies
Bamboo gouged out their eyes
Horned owls red in talon
Tear future butchers from the womb
Human teeth in owl pellets
The poacher's unmarked tomb
Rise up birds and beasts
From forest, lake, and field
No quarter will be given
Not even liberals will be spared
Legislation won't stop the butchers
To arms, you bears, to arms!
Time to undo your taxidermied chains
Rednecks hiding in forest blinds
Sound the alarm, ducks, sound the alarm!
Make them bow down and suck your decoy
If they don’t learn from the past then take the future
Animal farm, whales, animal farm!
Animal farm!
Animal farm!
Reclaim your dominion (Animal farm!)
Drive the humans back (Animal farm!)
The time for talk is over (Animal farm!)
Endangered species—
—Act!

Pedophile sex rings
For the ultra rich
Father kept a bust of Richard Nixon in his study
Grandpa's deep in the Illuminati
So we said goodbye to Christmas
Lady liberty's a neglected wife
And ISIS is his side chick
Scripted fighting keeps kids cornered and quiet
Shills trumped with money turn protests to riots
The right disgusts us and the right mistrusts us
And is it right to serve justice to just us?

Santa says you're Illuminaughty
Clean coal coming for Christmas

Turn the heat up in his britches
Can’t tell the host from the cancer
Cell division, multiplied

Did you know?
There are people who think moon landings are fake news
and jet fuel needs to melt steel beams for building to fall over
Some people think the earth is flat
This is a song for them
You think that the earth is flat
Cash me outside, how bout dat
You won't take your vaccine shot
Kids will die for your dumb thought
Global warming is a myth?
Which corporation are you with?
Earth was not built like lego set
God hasn't played with legos yet
You think you know science?
You only know fuck
I'm using your writings
To clean up my butt
You think you know science?
You only know fuck
I'm using your writings
To clean up my butt
You think fluoride in the water
Is the work of new world order
Shine on, silly lumps of coal
They hated science in days of old
You love to eat organic fruit
Then eat the flies and maggots, too
All your seeds are belong to Monsanto
Wait, actually, yes, all your seeds ARE belong to Monsanto. They're monsters, but not because of GMOs! Just ruthless capitalism.
You think you know science?
You only know fuck
I'm using your writings
To clean up my butt
You think you know science?
You only know fuck
I'm using your writings
To clean up my butt
Insufficient facts invite danger
But your theories keep getting stranger
Science I swear to defend
Is beginning of wisdom, not the end
You think you know science?
You only know fuck
I'm using your writings
To clean up my butt
You think you know science?
You only know fuck
I'm using your writings
To clean up my butt
We hold this method to be self evident:
Ask a question
Research
Construct a hypothesis
Conduct experiment
Analyze procedure
Collect data
Draw conclusions
Modify hypothesis
Communicate results
And most importantly, consider shortcomings in your science, and ask a new question
It may not lead to an exact, infallible answer first time through, but you'll be a lot fucking closer than bizarre fantasies jag offs continue to cook up. In old country, Uncle Mykola once was convinced that if he whistled national anthem while looking into mirror at moon then he could jinx a man who sold him mule but said was donkey...

Let me get a crock pot
Crock pot full of meat
I've got to have this victory
Can't tolerate defeat
I've got a hunger
I don't want to explode
Torpedo this beef stroganoff
In through your nose
I've made a dish you're going to eat
I’ll shove it in your mouth
Eat my fucking stroganoff
Eat it FUCKING NOW
FIRST I MADE THE NOODLES
THEN I MADE THE BEEF
THEN I MADE THE GRAVY SAUCE
THEN IT WAS COMPLETE
I PUT IT IN THE CROCK POT
AND LET IT COOK ALL NIGHT
I SERVE IT WITH NO GARNISH
FORCE FEEDING IS MY RIGHT
I'VE MADE A DISH THAT
YOU”RE ALL GONNA EAT
I”LL SHOVE IT YOUR MOUTH AND
STOMP IT WITH MY FEET
EAT THE FUCKING STROGANOFF
STUFF YOUR FUCKING FACE
EAT MY FUCKING STROGANOFF
MY DINNER MASTERPIECE
NOODLES!
BEEF!
GRAVY!
AMEN!

Everybody Hates Greg

So there I was, minding my own business
Passing out plates of barbeque
When I was viciously attacked
By this guy who was holding
A TAPE RECORDER
Well, I wasn't going to take that
Not at my own event
Not when I'm about to finally get elected
Even though they keep telling me they
Don't want me for the job
And I wasn't going to let some puke
Ask me about what I was gonna do
When I finally got the job
So I knocked him to the ground!
You've seen me on television
Fighting bears and terrorism
Vote for me or get infected
You'll cry if i'm not elected
I am good at hypnotism
Making money my religion
Next i'm going to buy this seat
I don't have time for your critique
You've seen me on television
My words chosen with precision
Would you like a circumcision?
Cutting taxes is my vision!
Vote for me or get infected
Liberal laws must be corrected
Some day I will have perfected
How to pay to get elected
I am good at hypnotism
Watch these morons gulp my jism
No more taxes, way more prisons
Plutocratic nepotism
Next I'm going to buy this seat
I don't have time for your critique
I've answered enough questions, ya know?
I didn't have to answer questions when I ran
My businesses and made millions
The only questions I answered were the ones
I wanted, and things worked out really well
I made a ton of money, and my friends
Never asked questions, cause I would have
Knocked them to the ground!
Fighting bears and terrorism
Sure makes for good television
Maybe not good legislatin
Better than that Cowboy Satan
He will turn your children gay
They'll take our gods and guns away
Refugees will blow up Glacier
Jews will run the legislature
You've seen me on television
My words chosen with precision
Would you like a circumcision?
Cutting taxes is my vision!
Vote for me or get infected
Liberal laws must be corrected
Some day I will have perfected
How to pay to get elected
I am good at hypnotism
Watch these morons gulp my jism
No more taxes, way more prisons
Plutocratic nepotism
Next I'm going to buy this seat
I don't have time for your critique
None of you understand
That reporter could have been a pro wrestler
He was like Andre the Giant
But I took care of him
Just like I'll take care of Montana
"Oh my goodness, the IRS is setting up to review his taxes, but wait!
Oh my lord, he's on the turnbuckle! He's flying through the air, and
oh LORD, what a savage attack!
Now he's lifting the IRS over his head, and
OH NO! It's a body slam!"
And when someone gets in my way?
-Bodyslam!-
And when negotiation gets difficult?
-Bodyslam!-
And when I get elected too many times and I see those term limits?
-Gianforte Bodyslam!-

The Talking Dead
03:46
|

I offer my eyes in brain dead worship
To your ruthless talking heads
Endless breathless comments on your commentary
From you, the talking dead
Every week you play a badly written act up on your stage
With your puppets moved by strings
Quiet forces moving pieces from behind the camera’s eye
Racist tailors of every scene
We the living suffer and
Wish that we were dead
Sacrifice our golden hours
Your illuminated presence
Fills the glowing of our screens
Belies your inner darkness
Your chatter drowns your screams
Take my soul out through my ears and eyes slowly
With lens and microphone
I'll take the warm embrace of precious fleeting screen time
Sweetest loving’s afterglow
Hell is just the newest hip vacation destination
Damnation is the new yoga
Twist your words and your life into lies for the camera
If you’re looking for it to love ya
We the living suffer and
Wish that we were dead
Sacrifice our golden hours
Your illuminated presence
Fills the glowing of our screens
Belies your inner darkness
Your chatter drowns your screams
One last time for all the souls
Cluttering up the screen
The idiots who went and sold it all
For one sweet gasp of fame
A round of applause to the shadows, please
For the criminal reptilians
Manufacturing the reality
These TV heads are livin' in
One last take for all the rubes
Who love shadows on the wall
Starstruck eyes in flick'ring light
Totally enthralled
All the world's a stage for them
We watch from TV cells
Why play a harp in endless heaven
When there's TruTV in hell
One last time for all the souls
Dying to take our place
The idiots who'd sell it all
To be a talking face
One last take for all the rubes
Who love the shadows on the wall
For a moment in the flick'ring light
They'd gladly trade it all

$20 from a purse
On the crosstown bus
In 5 years she'll get 20
For a prescription bust
She's more than just a name
With the all-time score
Maybe you can beat it
Does it matter any more?
She don't mind the crowds
She just came to play
How many lines can she score?
How many lines today?
Quarters not for wishes
Just to buy another life
Chasing the next big high
Turn the tables on the ghosts
She don't mind the crowds
She just came to play
How many lines can she score?
How many lines today?
There's no bonus play
In this arcade
Just ghosts and high scores
And hidden money made
Count up all your loses
Total your high score
Did you finally beat it?
Do you remember any more?
She don't mind the crowds
She just came to play
How many lines can she score?
How many lines today?
She don't mind the crowds
She just came to play
How many lines can she score?
How many lines today?

Well, I, I brought in my advisors
And, uh, and we don't know how to
How to tackle that
Well, here
I don't have any jelly beans, but I've
I've got a blop
That's what Nancy told me
And w—oh!
Well
Well, I
I can't catch like I used to
But I've got some jelly beans here
And
I like 'em
Failure of irony, absence of all shame
Crown upon the Lyin' King, "We won't get fooled again"
The Pride of thieves and vultures: a flag for mopping blood
The good Earth of America, star spangled toxic sludge
Chaos in November, the Guy did not show up
The weird turned sour and we're still drinking from that rotten cup
The bad men in good suits, like poison on fresh fruit
They cheat and kill and steal and lie and want us to salute
Self-congratulation, farewell to land of plenty
Paid with pound of flesh, and sold it for a penny
Good earth's been polluted, garbage deeply rooted
We've got the stingers, killed the bees, the honey has been looted
And Movie Cowboy Grandpa's bullshit legacy
Can't pretend his vision is what we're meant to be
Now Uncle Donald Rottencrotch, incompetence made flesh
Means to squeeze us for our blood until nothing is left
Where can we find a farmer, servant of the land
?
Patient temper, seed sower, rough and calloused hands
Digging us from deepest shit is not a job for guns
Put the bastards on their knees and show them we have won
Found a rifle on the walk, tried it as a plough
But the seeds I plant just whither, nothing grows here now
Our soul is slowly starving, famine dressed in black
We burned the giving tree to ash and cannot bring it back
The failure of irony, the absence of all shame
No thorns to prick the crown upon the spoiled Lyin' King
A den of thieves and vultures, a flag for flowing blood
Hard to see the future when we’re held facedown in mud
We traded in the Earth for Twitter followers
Our liberty a fantasy, a statue’s hollow words
Superman messiah myth made us prisoners
The culture war will finish when the rich are finally burned
And all that, which I'm calling You now
I met with my advisors and
And we've all come to a consensus that, uh
That we have You here
And, uh
We're trying to represent You, after all
So
We want You here
“I couldn’t believe my own ears when I heard it. That rotten fink Ford had pardoned Nixon, and so Nixon rode off into the sunset scott-fucking-free, the tapes in one hand and the broken remains of the American Dream in the other, laughing all the way. This was the end of it—what faith we had that our government could overcome corruption was laid bare on the street like a dead whore, and we knew neither the sex worker nor the American people would ever get the justice they deserve. Instead, the illusion dropped from our eyes like a broken curtain and now we could see the street for what it is: a road to hell, paved with the blood and sinew of the poor, built on the backs of minorities, and lined with billboards paid for by the rich with money they stole from all of us. The names would change—Reagan, Bush, Trump—but the corruption would stay the same. They’d normalize it, convince us it was that way all along, and what hope we had left would slowly drain into the gutter and be washed out to sea.”
And Movie Cowboy Grandpa's bullshit legacy
Can't pretend his vision is what we're meant to be
Now Uncle Donald Rottencrotch, incompetence made flesh
Means to squeeze us for our blood until nothing is left
Where can we find a farmer, servant of the land?
Patient temper, seed sower, rough and calloused hands
Digging us from deepest shit is not a job for guns
Put the bastards on their knees and show them we have won
Failure of irony, absence of all shame
The king took on a crown of thorns to which he has no claim
The sea of thieves and vultures will soon be drenched in blood
Mixed with mud and vomit, star spangled toxic sludge
Took my rifle from the wall, used it as a plough
To till the field of the future, this we do avow
When the bastards think they’ve won, then the war begins
We’ll hang them from the highest gallows, punished for their sins
I pledge allegiance (I pledge allegiance)
To the flag (to the flag)
Of the corrupt New World Government (corrupt)
Until the day (until the day)
I open my eyes (I open my eyes)
And tear the bastards screaming from their thrones (from their thrones)
I won’t believe (I won’t believe)
Their baseless lies (their baseless lies)
Of liberty and justice for all (for none)

We are equalized by shipwreck
Upon an unknown shore.
What was once cannot be again—
Old greatness nevermore.
Among the great shaman's teachings,
Allow Us to reprise:
Not tiny fists nor tiny men
Shall conquer; Still I rise.
We'll meet with Triumph and Disaster;
We'll fish the plastic from the sea;
We'll cool our heels and our skies;
We will struggle ethically.
Those who cling to history's phantoms—
Who venerate the past—
We will need their help, and their TP,
To wipe the Titan's ass.
