the world is upside down
what the hell is going on
your draws is showing
your junk is exposed
nobody wants to see that part of you
put your junk back under cover
what makes your shit more important than everybody elses
what makes your cockeyed opinion more important than everybody elses
everybody has those
so stop doing crazy shit trying to put yours front and center
and get over yourself!!!!

chaos came to pass
funky monkey business strive
that’s how we got here! –

Version #2
chaos came to pass
after nimble fingers tipped the scale –
that’s how we got here!
we are now in need of a mass reversal
I’m going to need more wine!!
