lyrics

Old Macdonald missed it
Put it in a barn
Mixed it with a fiddlestick
Then sounded the alarm

You don't have to go to
School is where they teach you
But what do you learn
How to work a day job
In the nighttime you yearn

You don't have to go to
Mixing up a cocktail to give to your mom
Standing on a potion that could become a bomb

You don't have to know you
Just look at all the millions
With their head in the sink
Puking up their fantasies
Locked in the Clink

There's nothing to it
Tickled at the thought of
A two car garage
Breakfast with the family
Lunch with the mob

Buried in a barrel of monkeys
Freed we become feral and spunky

Putting on a gold hat and a desperate suit
Petting on the king's cat, counting the loot

You don't have to go to work
The rest of your days
In a government firm
Glossing over your gaze
With a diluting film

Do you know who you are not?

Buried in a barrel of monkeys
Freed we become feral and spunky

Do you know who you are?
