Leave It To Waits
One thing about climbing ladders is that when you look up all you see is arseholes
And the ones you climb over are the ones you have to pass on the way down
Misery's the River of the World
Misery's the River of the World
Misery's the River of the World
The higher that the monkey can climb(2)
The more he shows his tail
Call no man happy 'til he dies(3)
There's no milk at the bottom of the pail
God builds a church
The devil builds a chapel(4)
Like the thistles that are growing
'round the trunk of a tree
All the good in the world
You can put inside a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there's one thing you can say
About Mankind
There's nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitchfork
But it always comes roaring back again
Carnival Announcer: "Gentlemen, now see the effect of art. The monkey is already a soldier - that is not much, it is the lowest level of the human race! The little dummy is musical. Gentlemen this animal that you see here, with a tail on his body, with his four hooves, is a member of all learned societies, professor of our university, with whom the students learn to ride and fight. Man - you are created of dust, sand and dirt. Do you want to be more than dust, sand and dirt? Observe the progress of civilization. Everything progresses: a horse, a monkey, a canary bird. The commencement of the commencement is starting now!"
The higher that the monkey can climb
The more he shows his tail
Call no man happy 'til he dies
There's no milk at the bottom of the pail
God tempers all the winds
for the new shorn lambs(5)
the devil knows the bible
like the back of his hand
All the good in the world
You can put inside a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there's one thing you can say
About Mankind
There's nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitchfork
But it always comes roaring back again
For want of a bird
The sky was lost
For want of a nail
A shoe was lost
For want of a life
A knife was lost
For want of a toy
A child was lost(6)
Misery's the River of the World
Everybody Row! Everybody Row!
Misery's the River of the World
Misery's the River of the World
Misery's the River of the World
Everybody Row! Everybody Row!
Everybody Row
