THIS ILLUMINATED WORLD IS FULL OF STUPID MEN

My work
His words
This illuminated world is full of stupid men
And they don’t have
The drugs
To sort it out
Hello Papa
In truth
The entire conflict
Is born out of an irrational love
Of myth and superstition
And the detestation
Of truthfulness
Hello Papa
They benefit
From our heretical enquiries
And have done so
Since the beginning
Of the time
Of The Word

(Girl’s voice sings)

Looking out of the window
Going out of the door
In the middle of the sky
Don’t want to lose in the middle of the rain
Don’t believe in ever losing you
We’re like lovers in the sea

(Andrew voice-over)
Society’s

(Eden voice-over)
Society’s

Hello Papa

Intoxicated by the rancid breath
Of the ancestors
They carry on regardless

(Andrew voice-over)
Are you ready?
Tell me when you’re ready
(Eden voice-over)
No I’m having a drink
Yea

(Andrew voice-over)
Are you ready?

(Voice sings)
Now John Barley Corn he grew tall he grew strong
Ha ha ha my boys he soon surprised them all

 

(Eden voice-over)
The thing
That still hasn’t
Convinced them
Of their folly
Is the horrific failure
Of their own
Insular
Societies

Hello Papa

(Man’s voice-over)

Then God reached out and took the light in His hands,
And God rolled the light around in His hands
Until He made the sun;
And He set that sun a-blazing in the heavens.
And the light that was left from making the sun
God gathered it up in a shining ball
And flung it against the darkness,
Spangling the night with the moon and stars

(Eden voice-over)
This illuminated world is full of stupid men

(Man’s voice-over)
The creation is from my volume
God’s trombones

(Eden voice-over)
Heretical?
What is it.

(Andrew voice-over)
It’s a funny word isn’t it?
What does it mean?

(Eden voice-over)
Yea

(Andrew voice-over)
What does heretical mean?

(Eden voice-over)
Yea

(Andrew voice-over)
I’m surprised at you
