The Elephant
you are full of the animal
you drink the blood and wear their wool
the passive cattle and the loyal ox
they plow the field for electric shocks
warmer birds fly to the sun
shot out of the sky by the hunter's gun
the frightened chicken, the gluttonous swine
this is what you're going to put inside you
never forget
the elephant
never forgets you
fire trees on the hills of megiddo
killer bee, vampire mosquito
this is where the snake speaks in tongues
to the first man and the man-made woman
love for game and war for oil
set the table with the mortal coil
put on the skin and you eat your fill
all you can eat, all that you can kill
never forget
the elephant
never forgets you
fog rolls in, uninvited,
night moans for the new dead
the voices behind slaughterhouse doors
it's man and nature in a messy divorce
ice melts but river's dry
it's where the polar bears go to die
flash flood from the fast food heat
you got fat on the cheap meat
yeah
never forget
the elephant
never forgets you
you drink the blood and wear their wool
the passive cattle and the loyal ox
they plow the field for electric shocks
warmer birds fly to the sun
shot out of the sky by the hunter's gun
the frightened chicken, the gluttonous swine
this is what you're going to put inside you
never forget
the elephant
never forgets you
fire trees on the hills of megiddo
killer bee, vampire mosquito
this is where the snake speaks in tongues
to the first man and the man-made woman
love for game and war for oil
set the table with the mortal coil
put on the skin and you eat your fill
all you can eat, all that you can kill
never forget
the elephant
never forgets you
fog rolls in, uninvited,
night moans for the new dead
the voices behind slaughterhouse doors
it's man and nature in a messy divorce
ice melts but river's dry
it's where the polar bears go to die
flash flood from the fast food heat
you got fat on the cheap meat
yeah
never forget
the elephant
never forgets you
