Silence and Celibacy

from Creepy by Robert Gently

lyrics

There
Are too many people around, I feel.
I propose an end to all war.
Like birds given aspirin,
We'll feed them,
Til they'll be fed no more.
I have found a viable solution,
In spontaneous combustion.

Yes,
You could all be free,
If you'd just listen to me.
Why can't you all see?
There is virtue in silence and
Celibacy.

I
Declare a new tax
To fall solely on the backs
Of those, whom I alone,
Perceive as giving nothing back.
Why should I be responsible?
For the many people
On too low an IQ level
To grasp the inevitable, that yes. . .

There
Should be a new law,
Declaring a minimum
To the amount of exercise
That's given to one's jaw.
And it should be illegal
To advertise to people
Things of a uselessness
That's damn-near lethal.

There shall be no more prophets,
Or marionette puppets,
Or conversations
Longer than a couplet.
And murder should be legal
So long as it can be shown
That the victim
Was adequately guilty
Of not getting it, that. . .

God
Will pay for his sins
Against me and my friends,
The few stuffed animals
Left alive in my bed.
You should all feel guilty,
Like you've done something wrong.
You'll be untying me from the rafters
Before long.
