Mystery Boys (Lyrics appear by permission of Church of Trees)

Clock keeps ticking, every hour of the day
All lined up. pointing all the same way

Boys in their Porsches, boys driving suits
Boys in black leather, wearing nuclear boots

Damn the whores, damn disease
God damn the birds and bees

Damn the politicians, damn their big noise
God damn the mystery boys

If there was an answer, with no pose and preen
Less bad religion and a little more clean

But there's too many wolves and too many sheep
Too much mass production, killing natural green

Damn the whores, damn disease
God damn the birds and bees
Damn the politicians, damn their big noise
God damn the mystery boys

(guitar/drum break)

Damn the whores, damn disease
God damn the birds and bees
Damn the politicians, damn their big noise
God damn the mystery boys

Damn the whores, damn disease
God damn the birds and bees
Damn the politicians, damn their big noise
God damn the mystery boys

Ahhhhhhh ahh ahhh ahhhh ah
Ahhhhhhh ahh ahhh ahhhh ah … yaaaa
