ah... beer (it's here) the nectar of the gods
--now wait before I hear
those cheers and see those nods--
remember, there's a fear of right against all odds
and we don't want to stir the waters deep beyond the lodge.
yeah, I know I said "I'm tired of rhyme and lyric"
not trying to guard my rice bowl, don't label me empiric,
I haven't gone commercial in many ways but one
My nightmare infomercial has only just begun
The truth is there's a form here
Creative yet adherent
Not sticking with the "norm" here
But clear from interference
As I clear my throat (ahem)
And break into a song
I'm wailing all alone again
But I won't be for long
For the yearning
in my chest
Is that the curse upon the earth
would soon be lifted,
(put to rest).
And God would grant for all it's worth
that we'd be gifted
With all it takes to win the hearts
of all who'll come
And haste the day when we won't stray from this Kingdom
When they see the liquid fire coming from a pure source...
I've wrestled with desire for a thing, with no remorse
And the struggle to be free and become all I'm meant to be
Is in the plan that we should be
together as one, bodily
That's just the way it's meant to be
The law of love infinity
I need you and you need me
A love on which we both agree
A refuge for victims
And all the abused
the druggies, the wiccans,
and those who feel used...
A tree by the river
With branches that reach
To bestow on the giver
All alone on the beach
To take what is given
And bask in the taste
For this beer I'm forgiven
But I still won't get wasted
So I drink to your health
To your family and kind
And I pray that you're wealthy
in your heart, bank and mind
ever caught up in culture
with an eye for the prize
I used language unsculptured
for this barley and rye
it's a product of man
and I don't mean to boast
be it tapped, bottled, canned
I declare in this toast
It's the beer that we love
[Everybody! sing!!]
It's the beer that we drink...
oh yeah...
sea chanties...
all... at... my... command.
where was this going?
yes. and this is my point.
when I rhyme I'm enjoying
happenstance there enjoined.
