Poem #2 Lyrics
At the bottom of a pigpile
Person X sits
Tangled up in trunks and limbs
The room is so full of fucking opinions
That only the biggest people can move at all
And when they do
Which is on the border of desperation
Some poor little unfortunate gets pinched in the process
And gets hurt
And starts shrieking
And if anybody is bleeding
They are immediately taken out
By two gorillas who take them to the main chimp
Who brow-beats them and decides to feed them fewer bananas
If none of these treatments work to stop the bleeding
They are carted off to the zoo
Otherwise, we wait and sleep and sleep and wait
And scream and wait and scream again
So welcome to the hospital, you stupid animal
Person X sits
Tangled up in trunks and limbs
The room is so full of fucking opinions
That only the biggest people can move at all
And when they do
Which is on the border of desperation
Some poor little unfortunate gets pinched in the process
And gets hurt
And starts shrieking
And if anybody is bleeding
They are immediately taken out
By two gorillas who take them to the main chimp
Who brow-beats them and decides to feed them fewer bananas
If none of these treatments work to stop the bleeding
They are carted off to the zoo
Otherwise, we wait and sleep and sleep and wait
And scream and wait and scream again
So welcome to the hospital, you stupid animal
