lyrics

Deeds are done and lessons learned
The wheat is saved the tares are burned
They know every law and they can quote you every verse
But the god of thou shalt not is only real when they curse
Sting me with your healing salt
Remind me that it’s all my fault
Can’t tell a hero from a heretic
The world’s made of glass and I’m as fragile as a brick

We’ll reap his wheat, he’ll eat the bread
Serfs serve their lord until he’s dead
It’s time to rise from slave to master
For our futures fading faster
Come join the new world disorder
Anarchy which knows no border
Can’t tell a guru from a lunatic
The world’s made of glass and I’m as fragile as a brick

Love and joy bludgeoned and bleeding
Faith and reason are receding
I’ve been cast out of the fold
Hold me ‘til my blood runs cold

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face
by Jeffy

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
