Paleface – Maximize the Prophet

Paleface – Maximize the Prophet

Verse 1

                            You walked out determined 
you need to muffle dad 
sick of his condemnations, advice 
take the deck and shuffle that 
redeal the cards 
stash 'em in the duffle bag 
in my opinion no-one should 
our needs to suffer bad 
not to mention offer that innocent 
unscarred body as franchise 
man tries to live by biblical advice 
mind these words 
I stand behind these words 
soon the deaf one hears 
and the mute one speaks 
and the blind sees birds and fish 
and ants and bees and plants and trees 
and mammals and reptiles 
it's straight mccarthyan 
like the time the FBI kept file 
of all the heathen, the pagans, the unwashed 
soon they'll be bumrushed

Chorus

                            I huff it and I puff it and 
I maximize the profit 
and I blow your house down

Verse 2

                            Who wants to drink from a greasy cup? pondered Lenin 
when in doubt 
brake the glass and bail 
like men in 
women's lingerie sections 
tryin' to hide they erections 
acting like they lost, askin' for directions 
they live in denial in retrospection 
affection is what they lack of 
and stabile relationships 
'stead their heads crammed and over-crowded like Haitian ships 
carryin' refugees 
to the Land of Hope and Glory 
more like Land of Make Believe 
or Land of Dope and Gory Red Streets 
showered with blood, covered in mud 
the Government covered it up with red tape and classified documents towered 
it up 
all the way form the county courts 
to the Capitol Hill 
what is this a murder, death or a homicide? 
Slap it on kill

Chorus

                            I huff it and I puff it and 
I maximize the profit 
and I blow your house down
