Love of the s*n Came back again to make it clear that He never said it would meet demand Shame on a martyr claiming friends from Either perspective of & Weak & Strong & Wet & Dry & Right & Wrong & Live & Die & Sane & Gone & Love & Not & All the &s that we forgot so Sing while you hear it Don't deny it Leave if you can't stand the thought of it Come back again to make things stand with No disrespect to the & High & Low & New & Old & Stop & Go & Hot & Cold & John & Yoko Dark & Light It's almost time to say good night to it They took a lesson from their fathers Told them that they were the same command Wait for the minds to make complete their Lives stuck beside every & Words & Numbers Sound & Silence Stop the peace & Keep the violence No & Yes & We digress It lives with Sad & Happiness Oh God Big Bad Betty of the Apocalypse She opens her lips and it goes like this When The Golden Rule & the jungle meet There'll be nothing to love & There'll be no one to beat Oh the things we know The things we don't Oh the things we think we can will & won't We're loath to gather that nothing's left We're all together & we're all bereft Capitalists & Communists You did the hokey pokey and it went like this You hate each other & you love yourselves It might be Heaven & it might be Hell Oh the things we do The things we say Oh the things we wish we could wash away
