I sure could use a vacation from this

I’m 800 years behind the times, I know, but keep hitting this song…cd in the car and mp3s. Just inspired by these lyrics.. makes me want to write and rant and generally express myself half as creatively.

Tool – Anema

Some say the end is near.
Some say we’ll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will.

I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of freaks
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I’ll see you down in Arizona Bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It’s a Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of freaks
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I’ll see you down in Arizona Bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumfounded dipshits.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we’ll see Armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will
cuz I sure could use a vacation from this

Silly shit, stupid shit…
One great big festering neon distraction,
I’ve a suggestion to keep you all occupied.
Learn to swim.

Mom’s gonna fix it all soon.
Mom’s comin’ to put it back
the way it’s ought to be.
Learn to swim.

Fuck L Ron Hubbard
and fuck all his clones.
Fuck all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.
Learn to swim.

Fuck retro anything.
Fuck your tattoos
Fuck all you junkies and
Fuck your short memory.
Learn to swim.

Fuck smiley glad-hands
with hidden agendas
Fuck these dysfunctional
Insecure actresses.
Learn to swim.

Cuz I’m prayin for rain
And I’m prayin for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I want to see it all go down
Mom please flush it all away
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.
Time to bring it down again.

Don’t just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t
Welcome any change, my friend.
I wanna see it all come down.
