All Of The Above

This is the tank that the taskmaster made

This is the alligator Florida everglades

This is the mess of material excess

Stood up and strong like a full court like press

And when the storm turns the deck to splinters

And when the mast lies like snow in winter

When the boat won't float and you're in the sea's clutch

That's when I guarantee you that nothing never felt like somuch

We hold these truths for to be self-evident

And anyone who isn't with us wouldn't understand

We're not intent on the fall of the government

We're not intent on the rise of the right hand

To all of thee above us

This is the worst thing that's ever happened

The captain's screaming that he's lost his wife and daughter

His hull is breached his heart is broken

The place he keeps his boots is underwater

And if you checked here an hour ago

They would have said everything is copasthetic

But then the sea did a furious thing

It's funny how dreams can be so prophetic

There was a time when this was calm in practice

There was a time when any child could hack this

There was a time when the people left singing

Of the perils and the pendulum swinging

Here's anything to read to help with your thinking

Here's anything to hold to keep you from sinking

Here's two times the work in one half the time

And everything you need is calcium lust and rhyme
