Lyrics

THE UNIVERSE
(words and music by David E Johnston)

What kind of thing do you think you are?
Animal, vegetable, mineral, star?
Beast, Hunter, Victim, Prey?
Trisex, Doublesex, Singlesex, Gay?
You walk like an animal
(you look like one too)
You talk like an animal
(you look like one too)
You fuck like an animal
(you look like one too)
and your brain is the same as an animal
You’ve got teeth in your mouth so use it
You’ve got a tongue in your mouth so use it
You’ve got a voice in your mouth so use it
If you’ve nothing to say then lose it
Don’t lie back and let the world pass you by
Claw your way up the ladder of life
Look all around you and study the field
Who would you capture, who would you kill?
You’ve got teeth in your mouth so use it
You’ve got a tongue in your mouth so use it
You’ve got a voice in your mouth so use it
If you’ve nothing to say then shut the fuck up
Shut the fuck up and lose it
Shut the fuck and prove it
Shut the fuck up and choose it
If you’ve nothing to say then lose it
Hey, what’s that sound?
That’s the Universe calling you now
No noise, no games,
that’s the Universe calling your name
Shhh, can you hear it? What does it say?
Does it tell you to bite me or scurry away?
Does it say build a nest
or put yourself in a hole?
Does it tell you submit,
or be the one in control?
