YOU DO-what you want !
Do what you want!!
Do what you want!!!
Don't need nobody
To tell you to jump
YOU jump through nobody's hoop!
Why then do you defend
Your right to VOLUNTEER
As Lord and Savior
To try and change the behavior
Of others
Who enter your sphere?
Nobody's pretending
That in the defending
You haven't crossed the line
Into the realm
Where you're taking the helm
Of a ship called Destiny
As captain of the vessel
You can do whatever you please
Just remember
If it all goes down
YOU WILL drown
In the depths of a place called
The hypocri-SEAS......
    SEAS...SEAS...SEAS....
...SEIZE the moment !!
To set a new course
Away from the path of total destruction
That leads to total remorse
The folly of an ego-maniacal quest
Searching for salvation at the burnt -out alter
Where you falter
As you utter
The ancient and time-worn voodoo incantation
" AUTWA   OOLACA     NAQUANA"
THEN SUDDENLY
The bottom drops out and  a  demon appears
The image of a lifetimes accumulation
Of all your regrets and all of your fears
As they come together
Hammered like a nail into the pit of your soul
Letting your lifeblood flood
Away
And out of control
NOW YOU KNOW
As you drift into the rift
Sinking fast as you gasp
Your last breath
Swallowed up
By the brutally cold water
Of the hypocri-SEAS
YOU NEVER were the Lord and Savior
Who had the right
To try and change the behavior
Of others who enter your sphere... VOLUNTEER
VOL-UUUNNN-TEEER......
....HAHAHAAAAAaaaa    VOLUnteeer­r !!!
