As we work in vain For what we think is transcendent Thoreau not thorough enough Everything not forbidden Is now compulsory Demanding you sola cultura Lest you be contra mundum Caminando con los codos - Means you're walking on your elbows It means you're being greedy (kinda) You're a cheap Some B Not enough to save the creature The inadequacy of the light of nature As we worked in vain In what we thought was transcendent To fanfaronade we weren't interdependent Everything not forbidden Now compulsory Demanding you sola cultura Lest you be contra mundum

You told me the things in this lower, preliminary state- That engage our interests are transitory and corruptible But I told you I lived in a yurt so....(?) An ubermensch, she is not She'll only invest in something ordinary Not normative for her to notice The boundaries of her life being drawn by others who are unqualified Getting older, getting colder. Can someone turn off the heat? You told me the things in this lower, preliminary state- That engage our interests are transitory and corruptible But I told you I lived in a yurt Rainy days don't always, if ever, get me down But Mondays often do The ubermensch in the yurt Won't spend the time to kvetch If we do the rain god might come down and gonna smack us Come down harder than B.A. Baracus

about

Rubin Witz Seattle, Washington

"As per usual I'm classifying the music as off-road jazzy stunt rock. Not unlike the more musical efforts of Beefheart, Zappa and things that just have not been done yet." -Jeremy Serwer (Seattle folk/ Americana/ Blues/Jazz/Indie and rock musician activist/studio owner) ... more
