lyrics

We multiply like parasites
And ponder all our petty plights
While the world is bleeding
From the bites we took
And we never see it
'Cause we never look beyond
Satisfying our own needs
We always justify our deeds
As the self-styled guardians
Of the planet Earth
Who are far too stingy
To assess its worth

We draw the knife
To take the life
That gave our life to us

We think ourselves immune to death
While choking on our final breath
But with business booming
We cannot say no
So the trees and flowers
Simply have to go to
Make room for every useless thing
And don't forget the packaging
But we'd best start looking
Just before we leap
Or we'll find we're living
On a big trash heap

We draw the knife
To take the life
That gave our life to us

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
