The Collective Soul is Rotting

Perverted animal, knowing the whole world of sex

I’ve thoroughly penetrated you and I remember

This makes me just as perverted as you

Aren’t we happy together

In our slum, forever arguing

And getting nowhere

Life is sweet when there’s nothing but perversion

To lead us to the heights

Being there with you I meet human consciousness head on

Observing, recognising itself, and dying with us

The collective soul is just as rotten as ours

Because we are its progeny

No Faith, No Hope

Ah, I must empty my heart

Of all its rottenness

I’m so far from fulfilment and inner peace

I yearn to die as I yearn to kill

No light on the horizon

And yet I know all about mysticism

Know how to reach spirituality

Find God

But it’s all from the mind

Nothing from the heart

I’m incapable of love

But capable of death

My sensitivity is useless

I could destroy humanity with my violent thoughts

No faith, no hope

I’m Corrupt

I’m corrupt

As corrupt as you could have wished

I’m corrupt to the marrow of my bones

I suffer from an incurable disease

Fluttering in my brain

Gnawing at my bones and offering me doubt

Pain, unhappiness

I walk with the weight of my guilt

Through streets punctuated with churches

Knowing right from wrong at last and doing wrong

They’ve got me

My thoughts are no longer my own

I’ve fallen into their net

I’ve listened, swallowed, digested

I suffer from an incurable disease

Called God

Being Nothing

I’m an explosion of places

A multitude of times

There are several versions of me

I follow this path or that while believing I’m following my destiny

But it makes me suffer so much

To know I’m following a beaten track and living too intensely

I try to accept, to experience, everything

Although I could easily spare myself

I’m an explosion of places

A multitude of times

I chase all sorts of possibilities

I follow this path or that, I’m my own destiny

It makes me suffer so much

But I’m learning to get acquainted with life

Acquainted with the lives of others

They’re just like mine

I’m an explosion of places

A multitude of times

But I still feel I’m nothing

Grubby and ugly, empty and worthless

How can such a heap of meat follow a destiny?

Let’s Go to Mass On Sunday

I went into a church on Sunday

With the latest edition of Let Us Pray in Church

I kissed the congregation, fulfilling my destiny

Doing a favour to those in need of love

The priest smiled broadly, delighting in this joyous Mass

He thanked me and absolved me from my sins

Absolution, nothing too wicked for God to forgive

I went into a church on Sunday

With the latest model of a gun

I fired on the congregation, fulfilling my destiny

Doing a favour to those who no longer saw clearly

The priest smiled broadly, delighting in this deathly Mass

He thanked me and absolved me from my sins

Absolution, nothing too wicked for God to forgive

Your Children Are All Empty Vessels

(and Sex-Obsessed!)

I’ve watched them, hyperactive and spiteful

Utterly empty-headed, blissful in their ignorance

Vegetables, like me, in the scheme of things

Learning stupidities for filling little pitchers

But they’re all cracked, spilling their contents on the floor instead of being able to act or question authority

Not one of them who doesn’t dream of flying out the window

Or making love with the person next to them

Most of them are already on drugs

And you, for the love of heaven, want to see these empty vessels do well

Your empty vessels will be successful and cracked at the same time

No matter, your children will be cracked for all eternity

How beautiful life is when your truth pours out from the mouths of your children

The Anarchist

I sacrifice myself for one and all

I come forward telling the truth

Bearing witness, as I must, to my experience

I describe my perversion, my immorality, in detail

Listen, they spit on me, trample me, and I don’t give a toss any more

I’m here, it’s today

I’m not, unlike you, a mass of defences, ready to spring into action

A tissue of falsehoods for justifying my failures

Fifty-six ways to camouflage the truth

Here it is utterly naked in front of you

Open your eyes and learn a lesson from it

You’ll never be better than me

You’ll never be worth more than me

I’m the one who confronts life

I’m the one who confronts truth

Have a Nice Cup of Tea, My Dear

´We don’t need all this violence, this rowdy music, these indecent picturesª

´When you’re older, you’ll change, you’ll understand, I hopeª

´You’ve got two choices left: law or medicineª

´You’ve got to have this diploma and these qualifications at leastª

´What you should do now is watch others and do as they doª

´Why aren’t you doing it?ª

´Where were you last night? Your life is ruled by sexª

´You don’t dabble in drugs, I hope. Remember alcohol’s a drug tooª

´You have no idea of right and wrongª

´You must keep trying, one day you’ll get it rightª

´Have a nice cup of tea, my dearª

And choke on it!

I’ll Tell What’s Normal

It’s the truth as you’ll never know it

It’s serial infidelity by women as much as by men

It’s such a revulsion with life that a whole chemist’s shop couldn’t cure it

It’s separation, divorce, depression, abortion

It’s short-lived affairs where sex is what matters most

It’s a decent bottle of Scotch or of Cognac

It’s a packet of cigarettes harbouring cancer to gnaw at your guts

It’s random, street-corner death for a thousand and one reasons

It’s a struggle for power or money where no one’s the outright winner

It’s a high-class bitch who knows everything and subjects you to her morals from hell

It’s a whore who’s been humped by a businessman and dies from an overdose of coke

It’s a gaggle of neuroses meeting up to reinforce each other

It’s the Pope saying the opposite of what he thinks in the name of we don’t know what

It’s a country owned by big, rich companies

It’s lives in hock to banks

It’s ubiquitous hypocrisy

It’s institutionalised slavery

It’s political corruption at every level

It’s God dead and buried
