lyrics

THE BABY & THE BATHWATER
Whatever you think, Whatever you heard
Your adversaries will win your respect
& your acolytes will desert you.
Out of the formless, windswept abyss,
A booming voice was heard.
You can quote me the ancient book.
I've pondered the absurd.

Just don't forget what your mother said,
even if she was kinda crazy:
"Toss out the bath water; keep baby."

Question authority and take notes.
Prepare yourself a rebuttal
Even if your chances seem remote.
It'll take the rebellion that you can muster
To be responsible.
Just don't go blaming the unicorn when
Doubt's unaffordable.

And don't forget what your mother said,
even if she was kinda fucking crazy:
"Toss out the bath water; keep baby."
Don't forget what your mother said,
even if she was kinda crazy:
"Toss out the bath water; keep baby."
