Oh My Lyrics
People are a waste of food
You'll never hear the end
They're only ever happy
When they're burying their friends
And they take take take
But they never take a hint
The ice caps getting skinny
Still they're not concerned
They're very near extinct
People are a waste of food
The end is nearly nigh
They've always said the sky would fall
Now it is you have to wonder why
You want to shrink your stinky footprint?
Get your tubes tied
Or even better yet
Go commit suicide
They can't say you didn't try
And oh my,
Well i hear the sound of horses' hooves
Come the middle of the night
And oh my,
Its time to get your gun license
I see four horsemen riding through
A cold and endless night
If money is the root of evil
Fear of death is worse
This mortal coil is not a test
And you can't hide in a purse
So don't go casting no dispersions in the street
'Cause the half the world that starves
Will know the half you're in
Does not deserve to eat
And oh my,
Well i hear the sound of horses' hooves
Come the middle of the night
And oh my,
It's time to get your gun license
I see four horsemen riding through
A cold and endless night
People are a waste of food
Don't bother learning Chinese
Thou shalt find oneself perturbed
By less verbose calamities
Just get some Heinz baked beans,
A 12 gauge, bandolier and tinned dog food
We'll eat your dog, bury our dead
Or eat them instead
That's entirely up to you
And oh my,
I hear the sound of unshod hooves come the middle of the night
And oh why
Well, from now on 'til your grandkids finally get what you deserve
I'm going to be stuck here with you wookies
Eating fortune cookies
Until my guts churn
You'll never hear the end
They're only ever happy
When they're burying their friends
And they take take take
But they never take a hint
The ice caps getting skinny
Still they're not concerned
They're very near extinct
The end is nearly nigh
They've always said the sky would fall
Now it is you have to wonder why
You want to shrink your stinky footprint?
Get your tubes tied
Or even better yet
Go commit suicide
They can't say you didn't try
Well i hear the sound of horses' hooves
Come the middle of the night
And oh my,
Its time to get your gun license
I see four horsemen riding through
A cold and endless night
Fear of death is worse
This mortal coil is not a test
And you can't hide in a purse
So don't go casting no dispersions in the street
'Cause the half the world that starves
Will know the half you're in
Does not deserve to eat
Well i hear the sound of horses' hooves
Come the middle of the night
And oh my,

Thou shalt find oneself perturbed
By less verbose calamities

We'll eat your dog, bury our dead
Or eat them instead

And oh why
Well, from now on 'til your grandkids finally get what you deserve
I'm going to be stuck here with you wookies

As far as I'm concerned, it will too. But the question is when. And how much do you care?
Global Warming, the politicians favourite choice when it comes to policy facelift and physical apathy. We all want to think we are aware, and by god are we all making sure we tick the token gesture boxes. But let's face it, we are fucking the world like a parasite evolved to do so as it's primary function alone. The worm in the apple? absolutely.
The only difference being that, apparently the worm is self-aware.
Well what if the apple is too? yeah. Well you would be a pretty pissed off apple, what with all these little carbon junkies turning you into an intergalactic horrorshow.
The facts are, we are limited here by not only the damage we have done by searching for small minded material happiness and brute social connective structure... but by our basic self-sabotaging principles from being the very opposite of self-aware.
Top of the food chain? not for much longer.
I think he has been reading Cormac Mccarthy's The Road a little bit too. And so should you.
Give up and wait for apocalypse, or go on buying anti-dandruff and filling up the fuck chariot. Whatever. We deserve nothing less than what we shall reap, hopefully soon.
You'll catch me and liddiard lying in the gutter down the sidelane from starbucks in your local big smoke, with a sandwich board hung around our filthy necks reading:
the end is nigh?
There's no end of the world in my knowledge, but rather an end to worldly ways; end to violence, injustice, famine, corruption.... All shall be renewed at the second coming of Christ.
