This could belong in the Music section but I think it's better here.
"0+2=1" by NoMeansNo (from the album titled the same)
0+2=1
race that to the finish line in a dead run
life is short and love is fleeting -
before these masks, haloed with snakes,
hissing like rain on the pavement,
the blind are deafened and the lame are made dumb
for that queer equation this is the sum:
0+2=1
0+2=1
before the feast, chops on the block!
a word to the wise is a fork into flesh.
everything stretched under God's great hand
a mouth to a breast, an axe to a tree,
the hoot of an owl in the dreams of a mouse -
count on your fingers, it's the rule of the thumb, but
0+2=1
0+2=1
yes and no are like day & night,
one breaks while the other is falling.
question the answers, stir the solutions,
in the end for light, you must burn your conclusions;
night and darkness love silence above all,
not the equations of sun-loving apes,
or their prayers for the dead of a worlds that's to come -
0+2=1
0+2=1
it may not be nice, it may not be fun,
it may just be a halo of hissing snakes.
but if nothing is something, if to rise is to fall,
and a child needs a name, like a corpse needs a pall -
hail to the lies by which all truths are hounded!
the murder is done, the temple is founded.
where the current is grounded it's cicuitry hums:
0+2=1
(the events are the same in a different chain
for the myth of logic and it's heroes:
1-2=?) |
