Ask your doctor if tanas root is right for you
You will get used to the smell and the pain you’ll power through
Put it in a talisman round your neck and soon you will see
You will be filled with a motherly love, that’s our guarantee
Don’t be fooled by tooth of wolf or eye of newt
A healthy child’s life begins with tanas root
It won’t be undue when right out of the blue your rivals go blind
And your nightmares will seem to be real but don’t worry, it’s all your mind
The side effects are worse than the sickness sometimes they say
But trust that the doctor will always know best and show you the way
And the life that is growing inside you will take us to glory someday
What have you done to his eyes?

Wisdom Fist (Pandemo)
05:47

May we open with a most profound apology
We’re really no good at the esoteric thing
So when we speak of the wisdom fist, there’s no telling
We just might be speaking of an actual, literal fist that is wise
And he looks like a disembodied handpuppet
With a rich and charismatic voice like Christopher Lee, or Morgan Freeman
He uses terms like quantum resonance
And metaphysical substrate
And when you ask him what they mean
He’ll stand up straight and slap you
And the pilgrims to his temple
Come in search of his platitudes
From far and wide
Just remember that suffering is righteous, or something
And if your sin still remains, just imagine it’s a person with a face
And punch it
Yeah

I eat a mayonnaise sandwich on crustless wonderbread
And squirt toothpaste on a pair of manly fingers
Ooo I tell you mama didn’t raise no dunderhead
I’m gonna be a famous alternative country singer
Or maybe you’ll wind up like the other boys
Just another lawnmowin blown out methmouth geezer
Or maybe pickin scabs off your mama’s bedsores with
A pair of sanitized store bought tweezers
Popped-collar washboard abs and a grease slicked fauxhawk
A pocketful of roofies and some cream for my roid-rage acne
I roll up in the club with my crew of juicehead shrivelcocks
I tell this chick that my dad owns the Twinkee factree
Or maybe you’ll wind up like your cousin did
Puttin in work on the corner and makin moves
Cuz somewhere deep down inside he knows
That his main brah Jesus Christ approves
You’re gonna die dumb and lonely
You better listen to me kid
You’re gonna die dumb and lonely
Just like your granddaddy did
And at this stage it’s safe to say that
There’s not an earthly thing you can do about it
I only sniff glue the way that the good lord intended
Have you heard the new Nickelback record boy it’s a doozy
Nothin but clear skies ahead I’m feelin splendid
I skip out the door with a brown bagged lunch
And two spare clips for my snub nose uzi
You’re gonna die dumb and lonely
You better listen to me kid
You’re gonna die dumb and lonely
Just like your granddaddy did
And at this stage it’s safe to say that
There’s not an earthly thing you can do about it

I woke up this mornin
Took a look in the mirror
Saw somethin starin back at me
I was frozen with fear
Put a hand to my face
When what to my surprise
Five claws scratchin mandibles
And a pair a compound eyes
And I said ah christ
Gotta seek some advice
Went and asked my ol lady
Oh how can this be
She said man you got some nerve right here
To come cryin to me so why don’t you just
Put on your coat and hat right now
And crawl yourself out the door
These gears ain’t gonna grease themselves
And you don’t wanna be poor
So get off the floor
Oh what can I do
You sleep with the rest of the vermin
Vermin
Before you had changed
You knew every boss was a bastard
Bastard
Have you given up
Or did you not know that cockroaches fly
So fuck it
