lyrics

"I left in love, in laughter, and in truth and wherever truth, love and laughter abide, I am there in spirit."

I knew a guy called Melvin
He was like a good friend
He's now surfing a lake of fire
Fucking pancreas got its way

He taught that hate can serve love,
Life is only a dream, but
you can thank drugs for good music
Burn your records if you disagree


A lady did ask him once
what are you reading for?
that did not end up well

Another gal asked him to please everyone
what an impossible burden to bear


Bunch of Satan suckers
Selling cola products
Are you Christians? Please forgive me
If you didn't like what I said

They came here to not think
He said we're all equal
Give them people what they want?
He was not so condescending


A lady did ask him once
what are you reading for?
that did not end up well

Another gal asked him to please everyone
what an impossible burden to bear


Print this on stone / and don't ever dare forget
He doesn't care / if you can shit Mona Lisas on cue
You have a choice / make sure it's the right one then
He had a point / "cynical humanist, you"


He did not agree with
all things heard on TV.
Closer reading at what's true
that was simply what he wanted

Puppets were not his thing
not if they don't have soul
He prefers his rockstars dead
playing from their fucking heart


A lady did ask him once
what are you reading for?
that did not end up well

Another gal asked him to please everyone
what an impossible burden to bear
