lyrics

When you meet the drooling dawgs of paradise
and they shake your hand to gnaw your bones
will you stand with pride, holding your guts inside?
soaking up the sun's rays all alone

and fade back
into teenage angsty life
into whiny toddler strife
before you even had a slice
Cheeseburger in Paradise (tm)

you work so hard to keep it all together
you do it every single day
chasing your recognition down the funnel
you only feel your flesh
being stripped away

(and fade back, into nothing)

you are alive and so you must deserve it
your sunny weekend getaway
dragging your meat pile to the local smoke pit
you only watch the grease
dripping from your brain

()

you must be good
you must be food
you must live exactly as you should
the son of man, the son of dawg
with a side of coleslaw and baked beans
well take me to museum
or the coliseum
show me how to live happy and free
just as long as you KILL me BEFORE you FEEL me
you got to kill me

((and, oh, we'll dance to the joy of flies))
