What caused this thumb-bound beast to stand erect?
Are we Evolution's selection or Nature's reject?
If we were able to evolve from pools of goo...
someone else somewhere else must have too
someone as confused as a colony of ants -
marching in line in a hypnotic trance
trying to build their lives in a pile of dust -
working to live ... just like us.

Like brainless sperm that work against the flow
we're makin' it up... as we go.
Like a family of squid with sharks that surround us
we're unaware of the dangers around us.
Like dinosaurs grazing on trees and the defenseless
we're big fat dumb and senseless.

Are we some insane game of marbles for some twisted group of Gods?
Could all these scientists and factmen just be idiots and frauds?
We could be ameoba in a dish trying to divide and conquer...
an experiment gone wrong like Frankenstein and his monster!
Maybe we're just parasites like some dog sucking flea
or a festering fungus that can be treated with cream.
In the end, it won't matter how hard you tried...
you -know -you -can't- hide- from the fungucide-

I think there's a universe in between my toes.
It's oozing with life that builds and grows
micro-beings who want to figure things out-
split by color and belief, so surely in doubt
about the world around them and yet so quick to judge it
using brain cells like they're living on a budget

If only they knew all the answers they seek
if it was discovered someday by some coke-bottle geek
They'd run up their credit cards and end all their diets.
My toes would feel the burn when they all started riots.

Perhaps I should end it before they find out
For a little while, at least, there wouldn't be any doubt
I'll come down on them all with a poisonous spray
raining down like showers of ash at pompei
After all people, would YOU want to know
that you evolved from the slime hiding under my toe?


amoeba - cockroach - hairy ape
don't try to run - you won't escape
fiercest tiger - slyest germ
heartiest human - swiftest sperm
In the end, it won't matter how hard you tried...
you -know -you -can't- hide- from the fungucide

~..Throughout life, people come and go. Some people come back..~
