Lyrics
Build a Better Garden
Adam is in the garden and he lost his ass
His wife is weeping for her innocence
They couldn't get a pardon pleading ignorance
When the Devil stepped in and said 'I'll take care of this.
Ya' see I got a little shack down by Deadman's Pass
We can sell em' liquor by the shot or the glass
Your wife can table-dance, shake her ass
For the rubes that pass. We'll make a lot of cash.
You have et' the apple and it opened up your eyes
This really is a blessin' dressin' up in a disguise
It's a world of opportunity for us to realize
We'll build a better garden and God will be surprised
We're gonna build a better garden
We're gonna build a better garden
We're gonna build a better
Build a better
Build a better world easily
You and me.
Don't go begging pardon
Gonna build a better garden than He."
And he said "Cain has called a meeting with a stone in his hand
To persuade young Abel as firmly as he can
To stay down on the farm! Stop wondering the land!
Cut the hippy shit, man, stick to the plan!
Cos' everybody is gonna want their bowl of peas,
They don't fall from heaven. They don't grow on trees,
We must divide up the labor , the hands and the feet -
Everybody coming to us if they want to eat .
But to eat you must co-operate.
To operate you litigate,
Then delegate, then subjugate by services and needs.
You need a team to feed the team
That clears the mountains and the stream
For the team that moves the iron ore -
The iron ore that's heading for
The foundry that makes the steel (that makes the wheel that ships the steel)
That makes the ax that hacks the trees
And makes the rake the farmer needs
To break the clod n' whack the weeds,
N' hoe the rows where go the seeds and keep the seeds in granaries and
Accountancy's to count the seeds as part of a bureaucracy
For all eventualities that guarantees legality
For all the heads of industry who arbitrate, negotiate,
Till every party clearly states
That mutually totally, and in perpetuity
They all agree there is a need both social and financially,
Local and collectively, in total universally:
The dinner bell is ringing
And Cain can pick the peas- please!
Were gonna build a better garden
We're gonna build a better garden
We're gonna build a better
Build a better
Build a better world easily
You and me.
Don't go begging pardon
Gonna build a better garden than He."
We'll have a war on every ocean and a war on every shore
A war for every reason and to settle every score
We'll have The First Mycenaean and The Second Mycenaean,
The Punic and Korean and The Peloponnesian,
And The Opium, Ionian, The Persian and Byzantium,
Rome and Carthaginian, Egyptian and Sumerian,
The War of the Roses, French War of Religion,
The War of the Fronde and The Spanish Succession
With the Battle of Lutzen, The Battle of Poitiers
Of Antioch, and Varaville, Eylau, and Acer,
Thermopylae, and Austerlitz, El Alamein, Normandy
Tencochtitlan, Gallipoli, Leningrad, Wounded Knee,
Chattanooga, Culloden, Hanoi, and Bull Run,
Lepanto, Somme, 'Wipers", Verdun,
Poltava, Jenna, Warsaw, Custoza
And everybodys brothers when the war is over
With the Treaty of Vienna, The Treaty of Turin,
The Treaty of Troyes, Tordesilla, and Mechlin,
The Edict of Orleans, The Alliance of the Hague.
The Treaty of St. Petersberg, The Truce of God at Aquitaine,
Of Longjumeau, of Bergerac, of La Cherrueix, of St.Germain
Of Hyderabad, of Konigsberg , Ghent, Prague, Trent, Amiens

Windsor, Dover
Hey, fuck it.
Start over
Were gonna build a better garden
We're gonna build a better garden
We're gonna build a better
Build a better
Build a better world easily
You and me.
Don't go begging pardon
Gonna build a better garden than He."
Now if we make Procreation dirty and taboo
We can sell a lot of Buicks and shampoo if we do
We'll nip em in the bud and retard 'em at the root
Until they are sexual morons when they hit twenty two
Yeah, I have seen the future and the future is great
Four hundred billion beggin' dogs in the human race
Sayin' Oooo ,Baby !
Ow , Baby!
Whooo Baby!
Now, Baby!
More, Baby!
Less, Baby!
Harder to the left!
I'll give em Gel-Filled Squirmies , amaretto lube
Liquor store incense to get em' in the mood
I'll give em laboratory tested heavy duty action Vacu-Jacs
For maximum extensions. Satisfaction or your money back!
Leda and the Swan, the dog-n-pony show
'Like a thousand fingers begging her to let go!
I'll give 'em titty bar losers drunk, dumb, and brawny
Tippin' white trash strippers named Tammy, Lynn and Tawny
And we'll build a better garden
We're gonna build a better garden
We're gonna build a better
Build a better
Build a better world easily
You and me.
Don't go begging pardon
we're gonna build a better garden than He."
