Cock-A-Diddle

Start with “Cock-A-Diddle”, a funky, cheeky and biting observation on organized religion and its predatory predications.  The blind and unwavering adherence of evangelicals and fundamentalists allows their religious authorities to institutionalize horrors in the name of providence.  Certain elements of power-hungry charlatans are always eager to fill the role that is willfully provided and dutifully curated by their servile flock.  If this song makes you laugh, you appreciate the satire.  If it makes you uncomfortable, then you’re paying attention.  If you’re offended, then listen again, because you’ve missed the point.

Break out the holy water cuz I come for your daughter Chuck! 

You’re in the presence of the Holy See 
Oh where oh where could that poor boy be? 
We all take a bite of the apple from the sinner’s tree 
And you might as well get it from me 
It’s the glory hole confession 
From the oldest and wisest profession 
Better not have any questions during this session 
Or I will teach your ass a lesson 

You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth 
Put the holy tube in your hollow and be sure to swallow 
You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth 
You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth 
When you want the spirit inside be sure to open up wide 
You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth 

It’s all written down in the scripture 
If you read it like this you see the picture 
Man creates the most potent mixture 
Take a sip of this holy tincture 
Believe me, you should feel blessed 
You’ve seen the face of God undressed 
You better genuflect and show some respect! 
You got the cock of Jesus in your mouth boy! 

You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth 
Cuz it’s purity for all and we’re gonna have a ball 
You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth 
You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth 
If you’re dazed and dumb and you’re speaking in tongues 
You got the cock of Jesus in yer mouth 

(bridge) 
Say cock a doodle doooo If you’re wearing the collar but you like a little smaller 
Say cock a diddle doooo If you’re a man of the cloth and love the 8 year old froth 
Say cock a doodle doooo If you’re a dirty old priest and you like the sweet feast 
Say cock a diddle doooo If you’re a monk with the thirst for some dunk a dunk dunk 

You sure got a purdy mouth. I think you need a little Jesus in it!

Thank You So Much

A carnival reggae splash on lazy language and social ineptitude follows in “Thank You So Much”.  So many genuine emotions are hidden in self-defense, as a reaction to the onslaught of perceptual stimulation that modern society affords.  It is easier to throw all nuance to the winds, and reserve your interactions to disingenuous fluff.  Americans are uniquely insidious in their popular culture, social trends and ideals, which are at once dangerous, immensely palatable, and ruthless.  America, the worldwide source of War and Entertainment for 241 years and counting!

Americans are the trend setters 
Witty memes and cute little sound bites 
Innocuous cheap pop culture 
Little crumbs of tasty delights 

Americans have to be different 
To proclaim their individuality 
Man buns and pretentious fashions 
But they all look the same to me! 

They only thank you how they want to thank you 
They only thank you so much 
They can’t decide how they want to thank you 
So they always thank you so much 

Americans have to keep up appearances 
Slacktivism and bumper stickers 
Neck beards and post grunge hipsters 
Fake lumberjack city slickers 

Americans have to feel special 
Baby names that scream inanity 
Safe spaces and poor hurt feelings 
Makes me question all humanity 

Chorus 

Americans are so very lazy 
Indifferent smug passivity 
A lackadaisical code of decorum 
What the fuck happened to propriety 

Americans have no sense of courtesy 
You could be a waitress serving luncheon 
And they’ll thank you exactly the same as 
If you saved their family from certain destruction

The Chosen
