http://soundcloud.com/a-jesus-fillet/up-from-the-mud UP FROM THE MUDNew York and her people sleep sound,
In gravel pit beds to wake fully rested.
The state is well represented.
So, I'll be in holding tonight.
My defense throws up his hands.
The judge screams and screams CONTEMPT!
Court doors push open, and
Reporters rush in.
Flash bulbs drown out the crowd.
The defendant has a statement to make;
This country is built on its people's mistakes.
So, pay taxes on all you take,
Or you'll be the mf'er paying the price.
Do I dare to part my hair?
Do I dare to eat a peach?
I can hear the mermaids singing, each to each.
They don't sing for me.
Its when you're lost, you're found.
Until human voices wake us,
and we drown.*
God pulled Adam up from the mud,
And marveled at the work he'd done.
The sweetest fruit is the lowest hung.
And, the rivers did flood.
The rivers did flood.
I've got fists full of cattle blood.
Melted gold into statues of Baal.
Getting high on a yellow sun,
And, the rivers did flood.
The rivers did flood.
