lyrics

GLORY HOG

There’s a terrible likeness between the head that’s in the vice and they that turn the screws,
That those who sit in satin zones and drink the fat off rat infested homes will use.
And if you think you understand the gist of this I’ll wonder what it was I missed.
It’s just a silly riddled rhyme that bears some thin relation to a kind of mind.
I’m back from the in-between!
I’ve gotta tell you all that I’ve seen!
You know, the grass here is just as green!
We’ve got the money and the people to do it!
Our market ain’t those with the power to eschew it, yeah!
Mister Sisyphus called today to say he’s finally on his way. He had a slight delay.
He should be rolling into town with an ample granite planet sample right at sundown.
In my glass office tower high and mighty I can swivel round and touch the sky.
I hope he’s got the dope! I need my Easter Island franchise project galaxy-wide.
I’m back from the in-between!
I’ve gotta tell you all that I’ve seen!
You know, the grass here is just as green!
We’ve got the money and the people to do it!
Our market ain’t those with the power to eschew it, yeah!
