The Word Cop

Travis Morrison

Moral

noun

a rule you live by even if no one's around

Moral

oh, adjective

having a soul to balance one's words and deeds

and living by one's creeds

which you, you're just simply greedy, so



Don't talk to me about morality

you're as moral as a hyena in a playpen

and now I'm getting mad

all over again



Decency

noun

the skill at being kind to people who get you down

Decent

oh, adjective

being okay with different points of view and

generally having a clue

but you, you never do



So don't talk to me about decency,

you wouldn't know decency if it bit you in the ass

and now I'm getting crass

but there you go



Don't talk to me of Christianity

you're as Christian as a bishop in a toy store



it screws me up to think that you're the norm



Who made you the word cop?

well, If I don't, the words are theirs and that's sick



you'll become like them if you don't stop

no, no, no you see, that's their whole trick



You need to think about what's real

well, you know I feel



Don't talk to me about reality

because as it is the world is not all right

and if I could tend to my own garden

I'd be fine
