Young men see visions
And old men dream dreams.

“Supper’s Ready”
It basically takes you through the book of Revelation and leaves you with hope in the end. Whether you believe or not, it’s an amazing bit. I don’t know how you can pull that off non-ironically.
“There’s an angel standing in the sun
And he’s crying in a loud voice
This is the supper of the mighty one”
And the flip side
“Counting Out Time” which is as dirty as you can get without earning a warning label. Lol.
(All Genesis if you didn’t know. IYKYK.)
Every morning, greggery drives
His little red volkswagen to the ugly
Part of town where they keep the government buildings.
Voodn, voodn!

If the sun was always shining and our load always light
We’d be shaking like a leaf with every God given night
And we’d break under the weight of any pressure
That was ever applied.
