misguided molecular moronic motifs
all sitting down together cursing the thieves
around the camp fire smoking conniving chiefs
suddenly the house is bringing in a new lease
iradicate the shopping malls of all these beasts
dawn treading pain in the neck
voyage of ideals after dangerous liaisons heck

well it's not really funny the way it went down
lot's of my contemporaries thinking i'm a clown
well it's not really funny you know what happened last night
my contemporaries think they caught me in a fight

you see i saw the river took a run and jumped in
i wasn't afraid to just dive in and swim
i swum for miles on this air empty chest
just an angel honey putting me to the test
unless i confess i know i wasn't at my best
i try to remember the days when i have been blessed
because i'm wearing this name tag my father taught me well
i looked in my pocket what did i find but a shell
so i scoop up my body and i climb right in
now i'm floating down the river washing away all my sin

theres nothing to fear you know it's safer down here
i can do what i want and all the answers are clear

well it's not really funny the way it went down
lot's of my contemporaries thinking i'm a clown
well it's not really funny you know what happened last night
my contemporaries think they caught me in a fight

so here i come darling to do what you need me to do
i gotta sweep up the mess in this cage in this zoo
and i'm hearing you whisper i hear the mission at hand
i know God he knows the way i know he had it all planned

well it's not really funny the way it went down
lot's of my contemporaries thinking i'm a clown
well it's not really funny you know what happened last night
all my contemporaries think they caught me in a fight

well the river gets wilder and rocks the shell boat i'm in
fish are hitting the side sinking it like an old baked bean tin
they hear whats going they think he's all washed up
he cried out his eyes even though he was tough
well i wont back down no i wont let it go
if i continue sailing forward gotta go with the flow

i swear it's like a game show the questions i'm thrown
as time passes by and the answers are grown
i guess deep down i know i didn't want it any other way
but you trick me and fix me with the games that you play
and you know me by heart and i'll do anything for you
i was strong enough to stand what you put me through

well it's not really funny the way it went down
lot's of my contemporaries their thinking i'm a clown
well it's not really funny you know what happened last night
my contemporaries think they caught me in a fight

you see i saw the river took a run and jumped in
i wasn't afraid to just dive in and swim
i swim for miles on this air empty chest
just an angel honey putting me to the test

i try to remember the days when i have been blessed
because i'm wearing the name tag my father taught me well
i looked in my pocket what did i find but a shell
so i scoop up my body and i climb right in
now i'm floating down the river washing away all my sin
