Woke up one morning craving for some cereal Went down to my kitchen to get myself a bowl Opened the fridge, got out some ice cold milk I began to pour it into my Rice Krispies My bowl of Rice Krispies But just as I started to put my spoon in I began to hear noises That sounded like voices But I refused to listen Because I was alone in the kitchen Except for my bowl of Rice Krispies My Bowl of Rice Krispies I began listening Listening intently To the things they told me They were very scary At first they told me To wear Freaky Freezies In the middle of July Yeah July I don’t know why But it was July And the next thing they said Was to wear my old Keds And to get rid of Fred* Was it all in my head? It was Snap, Crackle, Pop They just wouldn’t stop I thought they were nice Puffed bits of rice But they were possessed I should have guessed When they effervesced With the taste of Sucrets Would the Rice Krispies win? I had to give in They melted my brain With homogenized rain Rain! Realizing I was doomed I ran away from the room Still were there when I got home On the table all alone They were soggy but didn’t care Had a message for me to hear Wanted a revolution The final wild grain solution They wanted to be free That’s why they were talking to me I am now one of them I’ve got a friendship to Uncle Ben In supermarkets I began to preach Inside every Little Peach To every single Rice Krispy Why do the grocers laugh at me? Working, why wasn’t it working? Why were they waiting to start dominating? I forgot the milk power That pasteurized power It had to be wet milk And not powdered So I had to steal a milk tanker A Hood milk tanker I unleashed it Its deadly power Right inside Store 24 It covered the floor Right down the aisle I began to smile Because I heard the sound of Rice Krispies It was Rice Krispies It was Rice Krispies It was Rice Krispies *Fred is the invisible lobster who is 50 ft. long and lives in the back of Paul’s station wagon.

Should I go against myself? Should I go against my thoughts? The same sources of the best in me The cause behind this war A million voices with no sound Convey into their own Hidden feelings, now remorse Won’t leave me now alone Time will change you You won’t even know it Miles apart can make the strongest doubt Everlasting pain will break you into pieces Unforgiving pass of time for this crippled mind Should I go against my values? Should I go against what’s right? Slowly turning into a stranger Someone I don’t recognize Nothing seems so real now Except for pain and guilt Disappointment holds your hand Until that final greet Is the I against I Me against myself? Torn to pieces for my own good Just another big mistake No one knows what it’s like To be in this strange cell Maybe now I can go on In this psychotic hell There was a time not long ago Where life seemed so complete But now that’s past I tell myself My peace is forever missing Should I go against myself? Should I go against my thoughts? Think again, I dare you now, alone in my private war Should I go against my values? Should I go against what’s right? Slowly turning into a stranger Someone I don’t recognize Nothing seems so real now Except for pain and guilt Disappointment holds your hand Until that final greet Is the I against I Me against myself? Torn to pieces for my own good Just another big mistake

He is the livestock of devastation Even Fred* shits when he sees this mutation He’s got eyeballs that aren’t the same size He’ll turn you into a sloth, don’t ask me why He will go on a stampede if he sees ya He might even kill you with no anesthesia Cause it’s THE BISON It’s THE BISON (not a manatee) It’s THE BISON It is The Bison, yeah It’s The Bison Spawned inside a Tater Tot He loves hygiene He’ll clean your spleen with dental floss He is whole beef Without pickles or a bun Buy a Slinky They crawl down stairs just for fun Chews on cactus Rice-A-Roni gets him bored Has big antlers The platypus ate the gourd He’s a mutant Created in a secret lab Hates crustaceans Likes to oppress fiddler crabs He’s got fur That he likes to clean with liquid Fab No one’s a match for The Bison Before you drive, you need a license He’s as good as Nintendo Almost as good as fluorescent Play-Doh Say it backwards, you get NOSIB Kool-Aid comes out from your faucet He is The Bison The Bison of Doom He is The Bison The Bison of Doom Obey The Bison The Bison of Doom *Fred is the invisible lobster who is 50 ft. long and lives in the back of Paul’s station wagon.

I Am A Plant 04:51
The plant! Chlorophyll in my veins Weed whackers cause me pain Wondering if I’m insane? My concern is if it’ll rain Give me sun I need it bad So my leaves will grow big, yeah! A life is not important to me I just want to grow my leaves And I hate those f---ing trees That take my light away from me Why do insects follow me? All they want is something to eat Plant food is what I need I’m not human Why can’t you just let me be? Green is the color of my skin I am not a human I am a plant I am a plant I am a plant I am a plant I am a plant Chlorophyll in my veins Weed whackers cause me pain Wondering if I’m insane? My concern is if it’ll rain Give me sun I need it bad So my leaves will grow big, yeah! A life is not important to me I just want to grow my leaves And I hate those f---ing trees That take my light away from me Why do insects follow me? All they want is something to eat Plant food is what I need I’m not human Why can’t you just let me be? Green is the color of my skin I am not a human I am a plant I am a plant I am a plant I am a plant I am the plant The plant! A five foot salad of doom THE PLANT! Got fertilizer in my shoes THE PLANT! So that may toes do not root THE PLANT! Those aren’t my toes, they are my roots THE PLANT! When I get old I’ll need some boots THE PLANT! Those Moon Boots are really cool THE PLANT! Photosynthesis for good food THE PLANT! I am not a banana And I am not a beluga whale I am a plant, and damn proud Have lobster claws and eyeballs Sponges move when you don’t look They have tentacles, so what’s with you? I ain’t no f---ing fruit I ain’t no f---ing fruit I ain’t no f---ing fruit I ain’t no f---ing fruit I am a plant, yeah
