Obscene Procession
Can't you see 'em, in obscene procession?
Clad in fox fur all [cock in their] [violent / vile and] ____________
Pink and wobbling with all their possessions
They live on junk food and TV and booze
And bottles of pain relief pills and all.
Don't you [know/love] them?
They make life [hellish / hell here]
And think there's heaven above 'em.
Can't you hear 'em in obscene procession?
It's called talking, it's how they betray their [cushy / pushy] friends.
Cough and wheezing, they dribble pretension,
Slimy tongues tell the truth which they love to push and bend.
Can't you smell 'em in obscene procession?
Stink of bacon, defoliants, beer and [swastikas].
Whips and _____________________, adulterous confessions,
Mixed with money and those little refreshments
Hung in their and cars and wardrobes and all
Don't you hate
Those [foolish] ____________
They need their ____________ to deflate 'em.
Animals beware
Knives and forks that glare
Never trust those [staring / scary] humans
[being / beating] the [worst / world]
Especially when they're hungry.
Animals beware
Knives and forks so bare
Never trust those [staring / scary] humans
[being / beating] the [worst / world]
Especially when they're hungry
They make each other hungry
There's no need to be hungry
Not today.
Can't you see 'em, in obscene procession?
Fat and pompous, they [crash] _____________________
Aren't you glad that I told you about them?
Aren't you glad you never evolved up any more?
