The Truth
07:19
|

We are caught in, life’s deception,
truth's abstraction & perception,
moral convenience & aggression.
Fragile, life is a reflection.
It's no secrete, why we do, what we do, when we do....
Lies are simpler than the truth.
We are caught in, life’s deception,

Fragile, life is a reflection.
It's no secrete, why we do, what we do, when we do....
Lies are simpler than the truth.
We are caught in, life’s deception,
truth's abstraction & perception,
Sunspot fade like thoughts in the deep, what do you keep there?
Ghost trails like chalk on concert, memories bittersweet yea
I would never treat you like that....
I would never treat you like that...
You mimic life so shallow in thought no one can drink there.
You lead your friends and family to empty place, nothing can
live there.
In your barren heart, nothing can live there....
You watch as we try to draw water from buckets made of papiermâché.
We all drink the glue that they make anyway....
I would never treat you like that....
I would never treat you like that...

Mrs. Brown

Mrs. Brown went to town to buy some
peaches. She was riding with her
knickers hanging down. Mrs Brown
always gets what she pleases. You know
she does when you hear that sound…..
Mrs Brown went to the movies
tomorrow, bought a front seat at the
back, told the fat lady behind her "I can
not see over your hat."
Mrs Brown went round a straight
corner, saw a dead donkey alive, got
out her knife and shot it
And that's the way the dead donkey
died.

Hey Now
5 red chameleons waiting on line with a
chicken and a dog named Vern.
Who’s in the bathroom hanging on the wall,
it’s a fly you can barely see. Hey Mr. Fly why
you crawlin on the wall pointing one
thousand eyes at me? Hey… Who you
waiting on Mr. are you lookin for a brand
new home? Why don’t you check Chameleon,
he’s always got an extra room.
All are board if were all-onboard the
absurdity that you will hear. I spoke to
Chameleon just the other day and he made it
abundantly clear. The whole universe is
yours and it’s your domain for the
imaginationagumbolingal doctrine. You
better stop praying for your revolution cause
you gonna get yours in the end…

HOME
To all the people suffering I know…
To all the people who can’t get it under control…
And if your wondering where I been all this time…
I’ve been trying to get you off of my mind.
Out in the world lives a simple man…
Trying to feed his family the best that he can.
Keep them safe from all the worlds’ perilous traps…
Government politicians and hypocrites…
To all the people suffering I know…
To all the people who can’t get it under control…
If you’re struggling and the world seems unkind…
Just remember to love yourself and you’ll do just fine.
Women of the world stop where you stand…
You are a rock and Gods gift to a brutal land…
Keep me safe from all of life’s perilous traps.
Love unconditionally and you will get love back.
This is the place that we call HOME…
This is the place where you belong…

REVEREND SHINE SNAKE OIL Co. Copenhagen, Denmark
Primitive & grounded, folk-tales connect seemingly disparate genres into a single curbstone philosophy “SOAP BOX MUSIC”. Converging African polyrhythms with punk-rock dissonance. Combining swing, rock-steady and rhythm & blues… Sarcastic and sentimental; Agitated and serene, they are a throwback to the Negro spirituals and the American folk tradition. ... more
