NO WEASEL OMITTED
Dog eat dog Mother Earth lets skin her
there shall only be one globulous winner
slim piggies chatbots and a fat cat
well I guess that’s that – quiet you fucking quack!
duck cork and screw dick pheasants
scat em’ farm feed antidepressants
totali-terror plumed democracy dress
you’re gonna flap your wings less and less
fish in a barrel Beetlejuice in the bowl
zoo keepers don’t relinquish control
oi you! Shift your eyes off the moving poles
We bred fucked dead line up two by two
all aboard the funny farm turn us to glue
we stuck and locked away for the night
silent complacent brings loss property rights
clam happy dicks come free this willy
suited dumbos put down limping fillies
the takeover is real come to grips
barrel of monkey leaders reading you scripts
they zombie tree climbers hosting cordycepz
while asshat donkeys sporting a fez
Goodfella style every engineered Prez.
Pied Piper plays his penny whistle
tempts weevil bugs from out thee thistles
to prop up weeds get a face full of bindies
head down grazing cattle turned guineas
roll up roll up see your menagerie
bird in a bird it’s a giant manufactory
of bullshit and scalping mad hatterpillars
I’ll be frank – we’re run by traffickers rapists and killers
gorillas by night rather than armies by day
remove the blinkers hear the chirping blue jay
and for fucks sake, please comprehend what he says
We’re getting corralled into just one pen
it’s easier to tag track and set Big Ben
they’ll subvert the next generation
’cause captive lions don’t rise to their station
jungle law writers reweaving spell spiders
history’s a weapon written by vipers
numb from the venom flood you with fear
to arouse and install manufactured care
in this birdbath of penguin prostitution
sold the problem we react then buy their solution
Hegelian dialectic Glia philosophy
lizards figured out parasitology
Crook vets farm illogical controls
big fish little pond evolve rainbow tadpoles
labradors piss out designer germs
and launch kamikaze horsehair worms
tree snake drops to perform hypnosis
sleep little mancub with toxoplasmosis
monitor measure manage our behaviours
we’re gonna be their minion saviours
to resurrect red heifer and crucify the lamb
he dwells among animals the two horned scam
may Orwell be over wolf in shepherd’s fleece
he’s gonna devour the flock and constrictor the peace
One centralised global zoo run silently
the revolution screened a wonderland dynasty
tricky we take the mickey mousetraps
don’t trust autocrat rats handing out catnaps
first comes the carrot then comes the stick
every animal will need to take their pick
gaggle mob parade pack herd gang troop
during the last protest we will fling our poop
wake in domestic servitude bed
ironic – you’re worse off captive than dead
strapped surrender to the tranquilliser squad
Terra Gaia she cries. God. Eat. God.
