My latest controversial gardening practice
is coming to you live, like a sexy cactus.
You're kind of repulsed, and you're kind of attracted,
cuz you got that little feeling down inside.
You're feeling like everybody's getting just a little bit browner -
even Steven Harper's got a compost bin on his counter
I would still throw him out if I was Canada's bouncer,
but that's not the point I'm trying to make...
It's that everybody's getting just a little bit wiser-
even gramma knows those corporations are liars.
The internet is gushing like a jugular geyser,
and my cactus is about to make it's move...
Poop is super useful if you deal with it right!
We don't deal with it right.
We don't deal with it, right?
We try as hard as we can, to make it something it's not,
and we completely ignore all of the value it's got.
My top soil - doesn't need any oil!
Even if you powder it and wrap it in foil.
Even if your scientists refine it and boil it.
Even even if my culture is confused about toilets.
MANure is the cure, and I'm sure of it.
You're committed otherwise and guys I can completely relate
There ain't nothin like the button that takes your problems away
But your problem is great! It makes excellent soil,
you don't even need science to refine it and boil it,
all you need is love! (and a composting toilet)
Once upon a time there was a circle of life,
but I chopped it in half, with my petroleum knife
My petroleum wife - She's controllin my life,
she's patrolling at night, Yo, she's stolen the light!
But poop is super useful if you deal with it right.
We're gonna deal with it right!
We're gonna deal with it, right?
It might take a couple generations or so,
but we're gonna quit takin without givin back, yo.

the mind is the life is the engine
the eyes are the windshield, the lights
the insides the belly
the skin is the steel
ignitions good mornin good night
good night
what's mine is the lie is the engine
what's not you can buy even light
the sun is almost as good as my electrical bulbs
but she don't work at night
no she don't work at night
last evening my car kissed a carcass
it was tender and gentle and light
her insides
her belly
her skin on my steel
thanks for the evenin good night
good night

P is for Phosphorus

you know, you should take good care of your piss
nobodies aimin, but everyone missed
the most misunderstood of the bodily fluids
If I was your mom, I'd be like, "naw, don't DO it!"
Don't shoo it away in the water supply
that's like pickin and stickin carrots in your eye
that's like prayin for rain with a chem trail
that's like sendin your gramma to jail
c'mon P P P P P is for phosphorus
P P P P P is for phosphorus
P P P P P is for phosphorus
I've got a preposterous hippopotamus hypothesis
check out my store bought-dirt
it's perfect
for my professional vegetable circus
I'm in the church of purchasing minerals
from untouchable industrial criminals
down in the mine,
it's sweet fair trade
your mom gets the shaft and the shaft gets paid
and the shaft is really great at gettin people to buy
whatever he's got in half-decent supply
whatever he can bake into the craziest pie
he can shake it in your breakfast
he can lay it in the SKY!
but what if I sold him a jar of my pee?
and I told him it was magic liquid fertilizer tea?
what if it worked and he wanted some more?
and so I opened up a magic liquid fertilizer store
but I'd rather just teach him how to use the force
then he could tap into his localest fuel scource.
P P P P P is for phosphorus
P P P P P is for phosphorus
P P P P P is for phosphorus
I'm kind of a doctor but I'm kind of the opposite

only the luckiest trees can retire
holdin those beutiful telephone wires
next time you call me remember those trees
swayin in the tireless wireless breeze
****
I am the tireless wireless choir
I have all that you will ever require
now you can die I'll maintain your profile
text me when you reach the AFTERLIFE
****
dear energy, you've been in jail for a while
one day your freedom will be the new style
we'll crack a real technological smile
1,2,3,4,5,6, seven hertz wide
it's always been there it's out there inside you
it's always been there it's out there inside you
it's always been there it's out there inside you

horsetails in the ditch
horsetails in the ditch

son of a bitch I burnt the food
and made a freakin mess of the pan-
No problem man! nature provides-
look at these here plants you can handle
like a scourin pad, just grab a handlful!
horsetails in the ditch
horsetails I can pick
horsetails I can stick
in a pot of boilin water

I heard they're good for your skin too-
like you can make a brew and bathe in it
I'm takin a bath with ma nature

COMPOST
I got the most gross compost on the coast
put it onya toast and it'll grow
go get your boat - I got a moat of it
but don't smoke or it'll blow
monsanto saw my show, they're gonna fold on teusday
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I said yo, take a whiff o thiss compost
make your veggie grow from a stick into a fencepost
tomato gonna benchpress rainbows
I got the most gross compost - hey yo,
wanna buy some ?
it's not for sale but you can try some
maybe your barn could sleep at my farm
my farms got charming karma
we composted all those corporate farmers
put em on our toast, and then we smoked em
I got a horsefly scarecrow scapegoat
how many years old
is your black gold?
in the right light mine glows
on the right night it could run your volvo
although you should really just ride your bike
even if it takes all day and night
to get to town
and turn around
everything eventually just turns b r o w n.
I use my compost like currency,
I get groceries and the store pays me to leave
but all I ever get is avocados
the rest is best left to just turn into compost
one time I grew a 8 foot dandilion! my compost wasn't even tryin
I got the most gross compost on the coast
yo
yo
yo.
