Civilization

All that is about the human condition will endure!
All the way into future's filthy slums for sure!
All the lies, the profanity and the broken words
Will fly the infinite distance like tireless birds!

The cause of money is its undying plastic will:
What do you care as long as it buys you the thrill?!
What do you care when it reworks all of history,
And erases the gifts of simple truths for a small fee?!

You should be spending your time saving this earth
For all those kids to have a clean place of birth,
Or so I've been told in a school where the rich study
While the poor dig the sewers where the water's bloody!

Gods and goats and pigs and perverts and pinheads
Know it's got to be done in a time for desperate measures!
When the rich fly their smoking choppers to keep time,
Atlas shrugged his shoulders to profit from crime!

In a Vietnamese grave lies my rotting arm and my glory!
God bless civilization because this is the only story!
Isn't all this food what we always wanted, oh, dining fine-
Don't give a damn and enjoy this night, this moonshine!

A nursery rhyme for agnostic children

Hell!
Hell is not far away!
Hell is a simple head cold
On a beautiful rainy day
Hell is not far away!

Hell is a great word
That the believers simply say!
Hell is like a bird
That poops on you come Sunday!

Hey!

Hell!
Hell is not far away!
Hell is just a rabid dog
That will chase you astray
Hell is not far away!

Hell is the face of the pedo
Who will steal you while you play!
Hell is the tripping toe
When you spill a whiskey-laden tray!

Hey!

Hell!
Hell is not far away!
Hell is a hefty dinner bill
When it's your turn to pay!
Hell is not far away!
