A Second Coming

Stale beer and a pile of cigarette butts signify the second coming of The Anti-Christ

One legend has a new incarnation rising every 60 years
Guess it was about time—
as if we couldnt see it coming,
or didnt care to watch

So The Revolution wasnt televised
(at least not on network TV)
Does that mean it didnt happen,
or hasnt happened yet...

And what were we doing when it did?

At least half of us were high
for the better part of the last decade

The rest of you must have been hypnotized by your TV screens while we were out

Some nightmare to wake up to—
as if 775 channels to choose from
will ever allow you to switch off reality

No worries,
they got pills for that now—
and this and that and the other...

Take the red one,
see how deep the rabbit hole goes?

or take the blue one and watch it all go down on network TV

Special offer ends soon:
This is your last chance

Santa Claus Aint Comin To Town This Christmas

Santa has jumped ship
Rudolph The Rein-less Reindeer
leaps randomly around the sky
in search of his nose

No one knows where it has gone,
or how it got so red in the first place

No one even knows who's been naughty or nice anymore,
or why there will be no presents under no tree for christmas this year

He'll come back next year,

one mama explains,
He gotta cut down to save money on gas this year,
Just like us

Now go throw the rest a that chair in the fire,
Its really startin to get cold in here...
