We are all cannibals (August 2007)

You want what you can't have and you'll kill to get it,
but you won't get it,
you'll take what you can get, but it won't make a dent,
no not in your mammoth belly,

and you'll give, and you'll give,
and you'll give yourself a heart attack,
but no one's clapping,
and you'll blow, and you'll blow,
and you'll blow yourself lung cancer,
but no one saw,
cause they're all stuck on staged reality,

don't worry,
you're still young,
and you'll learn to swallow that rage with beer,
trust me I've been there before
and I've brought back unbearded wisdom for you:
just quit

so where’s there left for a guy like me
to sleep without radiation seeping into his brain
so where’s there left for a guy like me
to look at a mountain without a radio tower atop
so where’s there left for a guy like me
to breathe without inhaling poison
we're building on the moon when we've got a perfect home right here,
we're building on the moon when we've got a perfect home right here,
we're building on the moon when we've got a perfect home right here

you're killing yourself, you're killing yourself, you're killing yourself,
for nothing, for nothing, for nothing
