lyrics

What kind of people start giant wars over the bodies of dead dinosaurs
that we liquefy and we put in our cars so we can drive to the grocery store
and buy all of those precious things that give baby jesus angel wings?
Your toilet paper’s dolphin safe
you’ve got beeswax on your face
all of your money has replaced
the need to curb your selfish waste
Where will you be when the world’s upturned
your money’s worthless now you’ve learned
we can’t eat it it will burn
and so to hell it shall return
Here we are a shelter dug into the earth
now we shall see who is last and who is first
