A further perspective of something
I mentioned in a past entry I penned in
And the extent to which I meant it
I’m enterin’ the hedge when I exit
My well-lit web in a place I never should’ve messed with
The only human in town, I’m Adam’s last descendant
A zoo is the crowd, a savage pack in vast assemblance
All waiting for the ever-granting hand to feed
Betterment threatened by the rampant stampede
And damn, I can’t see through this horde of foreign organisms…
As I disgorge out the door, I try to pour in with ‘em
But that’s like tryin’ to mix oil and water
Untouchable, like Iron Man, dip me in boiling solder
This town is crowded, a forest full of mosh pits
Capacity quadrupled by the barracks like Auschwitz
Sucklin’ at water seepin’ out the leaky faucets
The lobsters start shit and the ostriches shoplift
Inauspicious sloths in offices polishin’ promises
By fathers to install daughters into Protestant colleges
Pot-bellied hogs held hostage in the awe of it
Chompin’ obnoxiously on a slop of rotten oranges
I’m callin’ it – humanity is dead
Officially swimmin’ with the fishies and manatees instead. Predators seein’ red, I’m edible in the leopard’s eyes
Anything left is for the venomous Stepford flies
Movin’ in unison, formin’ a flying V for vendetta;
Arguing over garbage via antenna
Me and a sea lion run from the felines
Dodgin’ the wasps and hornets, makin’ a bee-line
Dashin’ past giraffes’ taxis plastered with ads for Lassie, travelin’ faster than cats in the backseat
This place is a menagerie, the animals are everywhere
The doctor’s a koala bear. Someone get me out of here
CHORUS:
In the middle of a wicked city with idiots, pretty insidious
They’re carnally primitive, it’s hard to be livin’ in
Honestly I would be more at ease walkin’ through zombies
But the game that I’m stuck in seems to be fuckin’ Jumanji
I’ve gotta find an escape route, I’m fed up with this
Dislodgin’ mice from the snake’s mouth, the venomous kiss
And this block of edifices stands as a slave pit
With captives to unchain, but I didn’t come here to save shit
I came for progress and was met with lower life-forms drooling;
Drop-outs who could’ve used the fuckin’ schooling
Junkies swingin’ from the trees, parading the anguish
And seventy-five percent of them don’t even speak the fucking language
But zoological studies have made clear that animals don’t speak, they only mimic what they hear
And thus, the cycle continues – the bitterness and ignorance convinces us to interest indifference
And I’m not a bigot, these piglets look like me too
Except the front they wear is too fuckin’ see-through;
Behind the human clothing, sheepskin
Eager contestants at the lottery trough begging for a free spin
Cause life’s a gamble, right? So fight the vandal fight!
It’s inconvenient to look out for other mammals, Mike
If that’s the scandal I’ve been called to handle
I denounce this pantomime. I’m moving to the forest and writing by candlelight
Abandon flight sequence omega
Bye to the burning bridges, bars, beasts, and bodegas
Baneful black bears, albino bats, and billy goats;
Harrowing horrid hyenas howling at this silly joke
But I’m not laughing at shit. I’m repopulating
I’m off creating an army that’s fit for copulating
It’s awful draining, absorbing the ignorance
But this sanctuary sucks, thank you very much, so I live for this
One by one, the revolution’s starting now
Animals aren’t allowed; I’ve imparted the vow
If you’re part of the crowd, trudging through the feces
Stay the fuck out of our way, and long live the human species
CHORUS
In the middle of a wicked city with idiots, pretty insidious
They’re carnally primitive, it’s hard to be livin’ in
Honestly I would be more at ease walkin’ through zombies
But the game that I’m stuck in seems to be fuckin’ Jumanji
