Insect Radio

Well the red ants hate the black ants
And the black ants hate termites
And everybody is agreed
That the bedbugs really bite
And the beetles hate the aphids
Who hate the mosquito
The only thing that they have in common
Is the insect radio
If they all got together
We’d be up the creek
Because they instantly make decisions
That would take us a week
But the pillbugs hate the hornets
That hate the palmetto
And the only thing they agree on
Is the insect radio
So you stepped on an insect
But what good did that do?
Two feet away inside the wall
Is a thousand maybe two
You are quite outnumbered
And what else can you do?
You either can live with them
Or get a bigger shoe

Free To Be Other People

Why should I only be one story?
Better to be a tortured allegory
Why be a victim of random circumstance
I can wake up with my legs in someone else’s pants
I wanna be free to be other people
Be other people other than me
Free to be other people
Be other people I always wanted to be
I want to change the channel to an awesome new series
Leave you behind to your conjectures and your theories
Someday I’ll squirt out of this world like a watermelon seed
And all those other people at last they will be freed
I wanna be free to be other people
Be other people other than me
Free to be other people
Be other people I always wanted to be
And who do we want to be today?
Who do we want to be?

Victim Impact Statement
03:56

Victim of life’s own magazine
Victim of all the things you’ve seen
They tell you your problems are Mickey Mouse
But nobody’s problems are Mickey Mouse
We just crawled through a broken machine
Berzerker robots careened through the scene
And try as we might we couldn’t get out of the way
Out of harm’s way
Victim of life’s special feeling
Victim of The House’s dirty dealing
You figure your problems are Mickey Mouse
But nobody’s problems are Mickey Mouse
We just crawled through a broken machine
Berzerker robots careened through the scene
And try as we might we couldn’t get out of the way
Out of harm’s way

The Wretched Stars
02:55

The wretched stars
The putrid moon
Decaying in the rancid sky
The squalid sun
The disreputable planets
Making their shameful way through the rotting cosmos
We don’t get to leave this world
Clean as when we came
I just want to leave this world
Clean as when I came
And the hideous earth
It’s made of filthy dirt
The fetid seas with their hidden dark unreliable creatures
The wretched stars
The putrid moon
Decaying in the rancid sky
We don’t get to leave this world
Clean as when we came
I just want to leave this world
Clean as when I came
And the vile, vile universe
Unclean! And somewhat shoddy
Swelling with dust and microbes
And inconsiderate of those
Who have to clean this mess up
Insensitive! Every day we have to
Clean this mess up
We don’t get to leave this world
Clean as when we came
I just want to leave this world
Clean as when I came

An ambulance just went by
It wasn’t coming for me
An ambulance just went by
It wasn’t coming for me
This one wasn’t for me
But is the next one free?
An ambulance just went by
I wonder who is inside
Could it be a friend of mine
Going for a ride?
This one wasn’t for me
But is the next one free?
Is the next one for me?
Is the next one free?
Go Go Ambulance
An ambulance just went by
But it wasn’t my day
Someday I will ride in style
And someone else will then say
An ambulance just went by
It wasn’t coming for me
An ambulance just went by
It wasn’t coming for me
This one wasn’t for me
But is the next one free?
Go Go Ambulance

Give up
You can’t win
Come along quietly now
You knew the job was dangerous when you took it
Wrong move
You’re gonna fall
Ha Ha Ha Ha told you so
You knew the job was dangerous when you took it
