all the excitement in the world
can't hold a candle to the candle
the fount of jimmyjuice and knowledge

all the excrement in the world
can't put out the candle

hurling bibles at us
hurling bibles at us kids
armies of smilers hurling bibles
armies of smiling babies hurling bibles!
Smarmy smiling babies burning books and hurling bibles
Those ignorant cancers!

Don't you people ever get tired of being ordinary?
Don't you people ever get tired of forward motion?
Must you be locked into idiotic forward motion?
Oh how I know the allure of the forward motion
The forward motion machines
Revenge of the forward motion machines

The mere mention of the motor machines
The reserve motion mention machines
Never mention motion machines in my presence!
There's no mention of motion machines in my marching orders

Marching, the perpetual motion machines
The forward march of progress
The forward bitch of progress

The birch bark canoe of progress
Probe progress up your ass!
The steel probe of progress up your ass
The steel tines of progress forks

These are the steel times, my friends
These are the steel times.
