lyrics

for the weakest among us, for the aggrieved
for sweet creatures’ rights (at least of the ones that she does not eat)
she sort of stands up, she sort of argues sometimes
she writes a lot of petitions for aneurysms at age twenty-nine

oh so futile, all so useless
at least it makes some people sick
the only thing that does make sense is poking

for pre-tax profit, for revenue
for prosperity from a slightly self-centered point of view
he does sacrifice, he over-performs every day
got some pills subscribed for coronary at age thirty-eight

oh so futile, all so useless
at least some people die from it
the only thing that does make sense
is poking dead things with a stick
poking dead things with a stick

for cleanliness, for security
for the absence of all this filth you can see on tv
he votes traditions, he opts for family
he uses germicides, he dies of cancer at age fourty-three

oh so futile, all so useless
at least some people die from it
the only thing that does make sense
is poking dead things with a stick
poking dead things with a stick
