about

Death verses dogmatism. If we really accept our mortality, then, "God dammit babies, you've got to be kind" (stole that last line of the bridge from Kurt Vonnegut)

lyrics

All Gotta
Are we any closer?
To see the puppets wires
Pull apart the meaning
Seek a grand design
Searching for beginnings
A spark before the fire
Echo of a vision
Or a blinking eye

We all gotta breathe
And we all gotta sleep.
We all gotta drink!
And we all gotta eat.
We all spent a few seasons
In the womb of a woman.
We all got to stay warm and dry…
And we all gotta die.

Heard that human nature is selfish at it’s best
Greedy grasping violent fighting over caves
A plague upon the garden a self destructive mess
United by our fears, divided by our faiths

We all gotta breathe
And we all gotta sleep.
We all gotta piss!
And we all gotta eat.
We all spent a few seasons
In the womb of a woman.
We all got to stay warm and dry…
And we all gotta die.

It’s round wet and crowded, it's hot in the summer
Follow the moon, or follow your pride
At the outside you got maybe a hundred years here, so
God damn it, babies, you got be kind, ‘cause

We all gotta breathe
And we all gotta sleep.
We all gotta drink!
And we all gotta eat.
We all spent a few seasons (oh momma)
in the womb of a woman.
We all got to stay warm and dry…
And we all gotta die.
(You and I)
We all gotta die
(Someday) We all gotta die.
