Snakefinger - The Picture Makers Vs. Children Of The Sea lyrics

Residents: Hey! Hey Snakefinger! Snakefinger: What? RZ: Hey! What-what's this we've been hearing about you, man? You-you got some kind of a cause or something? SN: Well, yeah, I guess! But it's not just some cause It's the fate of the whole human race at stake! I know something nobody else seems to know I don't understand it, but I know RZ: Hey, well, well what is it? What is it, man? SN: It's them, the Picture Makers They've fooled us into thinking They're friendly and people-minded But it's not true, it's just an image RZ: Oh yeah? SN: Yeah! They're deep underground In every city and town Living in holes like subterranean moles Without making a sound They've brought us decay In such a villainous way Well, they don't have to beat us Because they can treat us Like we're clowns They're furry and vile With a hideous smile They're wrinkled and old And they reek of the mold And eat dirt by the pile They're clever and smart But they're covered with warts And some of them are quite tall And they are all bold for awhile RZ: Image? Image? What image? SN: Can't you see? They're the masters of the visual image! They're coming to us disguised as a friend with a blemish, they've s**ed us in; but friends, I've seen them as they really are - They're rats, tall rats! We've got to destroy them with a war! RZ: War? No-no Way! War's no good, Snakefinger! SN: No, no! That's what they want you to think. It's the little wars that they give us that are bad. We need a real war! But we've got to be careful until we're really strong enough RZ: Oh yeah? SN: They're [a] carnivorous breed They're full of venom and greed They're controlling our lives And we have to survive We cannot let them succeed! Isn't it clear That they are here And we're gonna find them And we will blind them While they bleed... [instrumental] We are little children of the sea Polliwogs and golden fish are we We could never frighten anyone We're too busy swimming in the sun When it began Before we learned how to stand We were like pieces of sand in the sea But then we grew And we were no longer new And so we wanted to do as we pleased But we take care They are still there Deep down below They do not know We are still growing strong It will not take us long We will soon be free! Just like we should be! We are little children of the sea We are simply what we seem to be We're happy without doing very much But watching things that we can never touch When it began Before we learned how to stand We were like pieces of sand in the sea But then we grew We were no longer new And so we wanted to do what we pleased But we take care They are still there Deep down below They do not know We will grow strong! Won't take us long! We will soon be free! Just like we should be! We are little children of the sea Innocent and blameless souls are we Frolicking upon the waves of light That dance around the creatures of the night We will soon be free! Just like we should be! We are little children of the sea Knowing that someday we will be free But only if we are cautious and take care Never let them know that we are there...
