about

There's no point asking me. My guess is as good as yours.

lyrics

Right.
Once upon a time there lived a stupid little bear,
He just shat all over the woods and stuff, completely unaware.
He thought the universe would magically make sure he didn’t die,
He thought the sun was drawn by chariots across the morning sky, then it’s like,

Now, you can have a drink, maybe have a meal, maybe you relax, ‘cos you’re in a place you can have a think, and you’ve got the time not to have to act, then another voice that you haven’t heard for the longest time whispers in your ear: eat the fucking fruit; this’ll never last. Everything you love’s going to disappear.

I don’t remember asking to be born.
Emerging purple and screaming from the tissues I had torn.

Far from the ancient world of Pharisees and lepers,
I was cruelly born too late to join the Red Hot Chilli Peppers,
But if you sit around decaying ‘till the tide of human culture meets your lofty fucking standards, you’ll get picked off by the vultures.
Stop. If you’ve got a thought and you think the world isn’t ready yet, what you’re saying is, I’m the one in time, everybody else marches out of step. What, you going to wait twenty thousand years just in case the world finally requires whatever the fuck stupid damn idea’s sitting in your head clogging up the wires?

When I was an angelic little kid,
I used to assume there were reasons for the things the adults did.
Now that I am old and fucked and wise,
I see the existential panic in most everybody’s eyes.

I know life is made of shit,
I do not mind one little bit,
I do not fear my death as such,
I hope it does not hurt too much, I
Am afraid of one more thing:
I’ll miss my chance to dance and sing,
My dignity is what I crave,
Just let me dig my own damn grave.

Everybody tells me, be yourself.
Evidence suggests that that is not good for my health,
Everyone agrees I should be me.
I think someone should told me if there were other things I could have been.

All – this – time – all – this – time – all – this – time – all – this – time,
All – this – time – all – this – time – all – this – time – all – this – time.
