lyrics

the dust will blow the wind into the rock
there is a fissure in the cliff where children walk
paintings in the sky have turned to chalk
we are all in the popper now
and the popcorn has started to pop

chorus
down below the big heads push and shove
each another piece of missing link
if you cannot teach them how to think
show show show
show them how to love

its not enough to know each silly word
you need to know what each silly word means
then you got to match an action to the word
and stop talking about every stupid thing you see

repeat chorus

its more than making goo goo eyes at babies
or collecting pretty faces in th street
love love love love love is a promise
the kind you make before you go to sleep

everything you know is wrong
from the color of the sky to your family history
you tell me your mamas maiden name was judy jetson
but you seem more like a fintstone to me

you spread her out on the table and took yout fill
spread her against the wall and shot her
she was just another xaptured infidel
an infidel they had taken off the roster

the dust will blow the wind into the rock
there is a fissure in the cliff where children walk
paintings in the sky have turned to chalk
we are all in the popper now
and the popcorn has started to pop
