You’ve got a dog whistle in your microphone And every time you speak it blows Venom in your saliva A snake selling snake oil oh oh oh Here stands the Great Divider We’re split wider than the Gulf of Mexico The Great Oxidizer Cuz everything you touch rusts oh oh oh The loudest often ain’t the wisest And that’s the truth, that’s the truth Rather ride shotgun with a pilot Drunk on 192 proof On a 4-day quaaludes bender Plus ether, meth and blow Than take a Cessna to Mar-a-La Mar-a-Lago Inhale deep, inhale deep Each fresh day you inhale deep Every day, every day New ways to be led astray Brace yourself each fresh day Brand new lows, a whole array Netherworld lows to reach The death of civility 45 head blows

I’m roaming like a buffalo With a footprint that’s twentyfold And a Bible called The Lonely Planet That always tells me where to go Maybe we can go to the temple Drink the wisdom that’s been passed down the years I could go for a spiritual experience After maybe 4 or 5 beers All the sunburnt tourists Waiting out the rain Watching Tribbiani over and over and over again All the brave little tourists Modern pioneers Taking selfies they’ll be ashamed of in seven years Ahh take me to the ashram Maybe I can clear my head And if I’m not awakened in the ashram I’ll get a good photo instead Cuz I’m addicted to amenities And I have been since I could crawl Ya I’m a sad-ass motherfucker Who doesn’t know anything at all All the orange tourists Behind the resort walls Drinking margaritas garlanded with parasols And humanitourists Don’t forget your name You lay cement for two weeks, doesn’t make you Ghanaian (gaa-nei-uhn) Wanderlust Let’s put the “lust” in wanderlust All the rugged tourists Braving the terrain Going seven days without a single frappé All the cruising tourists Docking at the bay Grab your little trinket Back on deck, call it a day All us eager tourists Not all that unique One thing we have in common Can’t seem to find what we seek, what we seek

Snake 02:34

Holding up a snake In my online profile What the fuck makes me so interesting cuz I’m holding up a snake? Got a big bear head Hanging on my wall Taxidermied beasts instead of wallpaper Make me feel like I got big balls Want to fuck the fake Turn down the fake dial But the fake frequencies are so pleasing to the ears of the fakeophiles Sometimes I wonder Am I just what I revile? Everybody I condemn am I as bad as them? So much of the same of the same of the same All talk the same talk the same talk the same Just a little lame Time to shut ya off So much of the same of the same of the same All talk the same talk the same talk the same Just a little tame Time to shut ya off I like dogs I also like food Fuck makes you so interesting cuz you like dogs and food? Feeling curmudgeonly Towards human animals With their little dog ears and their little dog snouts, it’s all so dull, so dull, so dull So much of the same of the same of the same All talk the same talk the same talk the same Just a little lame Time to shut ya off So much of the same of the same of the same All talk the same talk the same talk the same Just a little tame Time to switch ya off Mix self-indulgence and veiled self-praise With narcissism in a bouillabaisse Bring it to a boil and slurp it all day Throw in some carrots and yum yum yum If I had to vote for the 45th president Or fuck a goat I’d fuck that goat so good he would want to elope Han shot first I don’t give a damn Whether Han shot first or second or his gun fucking jammed

Behind a wooden podium, I would shrink away I would swallow all my vowels, I would swallow all my rage An invisible podium, I’m so loud and brave I’m the loudest, I’m the proudest, I’m the loudest on the page Got so many enemies, smilin’ at ‘em daily Try and scowl at them but the scowl won’t show So I throw on my pyjamas and I hit the caps lock My multitude of enemies, my enemies will know Nothing like an exclamation, exclamation Got buckets of mud I can rub your face in Ain’t a statement if it’s not an exclamation Where’s my chorus? Where’s my chorus? Nothing like an exclamation, exclamation Under anonymity of cyberspace and Diatribe it’s easier than education With no face I’ve lost my moorings When my face it does not show I increase in size tenfold A one-man tornado And I blow and I blow and I blow Hey I’m just a citizen, just an individual Just a human being who is speaking his mind Hey I’ve got a T4, got a gym membership Bona fide piece of shit, one of a kind

Anarchists they like to groan But give them real anarchy and they'll cry and moan Just a sham indulgence, hippiedom on loan Cuz off come the dreadlocks and back on come the shoes And by 35 they're firmly voting blue Chalk it up as a lark like the Sanskrit tattoo Incredible Inedible Is it credible? Inedible Silent majority's growing so vocal Grew from a hush to 200 decibels To a sound that shatters windows And now we look out through the pane, freshly exposed Shards in our hair and scrapes on our foot soles Seems our flag it's riddles with holes Incredible Inedible Is it credible? Inedible Hey If I'm backwards inclined Long as I've got a pulse I've got my say And maybe I'll just freeze time I've got a pulse, I've got my say Crimson paint on your yellow line I'll gladly reverse everything
