Protest Neurosis! by Amos
(Tune To Be Determined)

Codwallop left of me, codwallop right!.
Codwallop twisted from black into white.
Codwallop passed on from parent to child,
Thinking as muddy as crocs on the Nile.

Rich with illogic, and rife with disparity;
You'd think no-one ever learned thinking with clarity!
Facts which aren't factual (none can assess them)
Sins which aren't harmful (but folks still confess them.)

Thinking so muddled it could lead to perdition,
Romantic nonsense and pretend intuition;
Justifications, and logical flaws
'Til you will swear that there oughta be laws!

Blatant insanity, crazy but lawful;
Newsprint reporters whose thinking is awful;
Mixed up religions, and loony-bin teachers
Folks center stage who should stay in the bleachers!

Demented morals and schemes to enforce them!
Psychotic hubbies and wives who divorce them!
Icons ridiculous, of gods who love peepees!
Neurotic housewives, dramatic and weepy!

Mad politicians, with schemes so self-serving!
Management plans which are veering and swerving!
Drool-bait for telly, and jail-bait for fun...
Welcome to Earth, the third rock from the sun!
