"Do The Earth"

Here's a picture from the house of meat
Are you the person I'm scheduled to meet
To assess my skeleton's worth?
Do the earth

Curtains open and the guests are fried
In my attempt to seem dignified
I re-enact my rebirth
Do the earth

Do the earth, I wanna ramble in opium fields
Playing tricks on the invasion boys
Penetrator like a space invader
Do the earth

Do the earth, this tear will never wash away
On any human sanitation day
And I will starve to death and wither away
Unless you feed me

I'm too tired to run from the tiger
I'm too dumb to hide in the bushes
I'm too tired to run from the tiger
I'm too dumb to hide in the bushes

I'm a human costume with veins of gold
I'll face the punching bag, do what I'm told
Till I get old and have to dwell
In the valley of the ironman

Do the earth, you beckon me and leave it up to fate
You offer salvation and I salivate
At the thought of my next free choice
Hear the voice
