GENERATION III

Now is the time for the micro-crime;
You slip it in the slot, and then you fill out your form.
You love to say the numbers, say there's music there-
And there's music in your vacant stare.

Now is the time for the crusty plumes,
De-preservation of the costly tunes,
Hey,hey, boil down the eggs and the rice,
Only the red dots have ants in their pants!

Now is the time-
Now is the time-
Now is the time.

Now I forgive the human land mines,
I shouldn't have stepped on the pricing code,
Now I'm old and the clock drips on my scar,
But I'm not bored!

Now is the time for all good mulch
To rise and decay like nothing else!
Uselessly new, they lay down on the pile,
For a little while, it's a wild, wild world-

Now is the time-
Now is the time-
Now is the time.

Now is the time to slit the lungs,
The mouth has missed the marching line,
Breathe in faith in a crux like a zoo,
Make strange noises like a kazoo-

Now I see how human they are,
and better then that, I'm gurgling tar-
Need I swear on the big black book that I'm gone?
There's only the silence at the end of a song.

Now is the time-
Now is the time-
Lets talk about now.
