Cretin

The Yawning God

Cretin


Dullard skipping down the street 
Whistling to a tuneless beat 
Tripping over his own feet 
He falls into a hole 
A stinking sewage hole 

To his mind, his simple mind 
His god lives here, lives right inside 
He smells the piss, the sulfur pit 
His yawning god is breathing shit 

Just a mundane sewage tank 
Cracked open and very rank 
Cretin thinks his god's awake 
Thinks he's found his home 
His very smelly home 

Make us laugh, you silly man 
As you worship this wretched land 
And shave your head like monks of old 
Then sacrifice things to your hole 

[Bass Solo: Widener] 

Brings it little animals 
Until the pit is almost full 
Feels the gassy brimstone pull 
Then he crawls inside 
So horrible inside 

Then repairmen come to fix 
They fill it with shovels and picks 
And just as cretin sees his god 
Heaven goes mysteriously dark
