Australopithecine Dream
I - WookmenBeggarsFiremenSoldiers
II - lies and the truth
III - "A Thanksgiving Prayer" by W. S. Burroughs
IV - the arms of America

lyrics

Wookmen walk down the street in a single-file line
Beggars race to the phone with their shirts tucked in
Firemen drive to the fire wearing hard plastic hats
Soldiers march side-by-side holding hands
Lonely people on drugs waging war over food
For supper we bow to our punitive Gods

(part II)

And there was white; ships that would sail in the night
(The arms of America)
And there was green; lies and the truth of the dream
(The arms of America)
...And there was gold!!!

People among us control the world
In secret they remain
People among us troll the world
In secret they remain

(part IV)

Face the boomerang; the arms of America
(The arms of America)
Hurl the boomerang; the arms of America
(The arms of America)
Return the boomerang; the arms of America
(The arms of America)
