Lyrics
[Verse 1]
But let's say we did find out that music is coming to us from aliens
I don't know that's gonna change anything at all
I'm excited for the aliens, I'm excited for the grand revelation of the Galactic brotherhood, or
Sisterhood, or fraternity, or sorority, or whatever the fuck it is
Council, whatever it may be
I'm excited for that but I don't know how much it's gonna change anything
When it comes to being a human
I think it's just gonna create a nice couple of years
Probably where we're all like holy shit part of the galactic federation
But then you're gonna get annoyed
I don't know if anything changes that much
Do you ever think about that like–? The grand–
Let's say the Buddha does show up, let's say the grand thing happens
That Jesus rides in on the lion or whatever, the thing is shown, the great unveiling
You know, then what?
You're still gonna end out on a UFO, flying through space
You go to the bathroom and some asshole pissed on the seat
And you're gonna be like what the fuck is wrong with people?
Ha-ha-ha. you know what I mean, you're still in the human form and
You're still stuck, you're still dealing with the same problems
Won't go away. I'm telling you man, this is the truth. When I...
The first time I talked to Ram Das I said, "Are you my guru?"
He goes, "Yes. Now what?"
Ha-ha-ha-ha, it was so awesome
Just popped the balloon in the most brilliant way
Showing me like okay, sure. You're still just in the situation you were prior
Nothing is changing here other than you know
Whatever you though was going to save you
Here or there, that or this thing, it really isn't
And that's the pro–, that's the–, that's the essence of it all, isn't it?
It's still just the moment. Whatever it may be, the world is flat
We find out the world is flat
The world is actually flat and we're surrounded by ice walls
And on the other side of the ice walls is where the aliens live. So what?
You still have to eat, you still have to figure out a way to get food into your stomach
And find shelter and you still have to have all the same stuff that you're dealing with
Meaning to me, that that's where the liberation is, is because
You begin to realize you're still probably gonna run into the same problem
There might not be a way out through technology
Magic, or any external saving factor
[Verse 2]
Threesomes, that's the answer, threesomes. That'll do it, that'll do it
It'll be threesomes. That's what's missing from my life
Well, then you want like a six-some or something
You know what I mean? Oh that's not enough
And next thing you know you've got a fucking neural implant
And you're experiencing what it's like to have fifty thousand dicks getting sucked by black holes
And you're like, "This isn't enough"
These black holes are actually not very good at giving blow jobs
Hey, I can't get out, I can't get out, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Matter of time, if you're a god you're gonna eventually go
"Wonder what happens if you put your dick in one those things?"
No, that's the trick, you put your dick in a black hole as a god
It sucks you and blows you out on the other side as a big bang
And that's probably what we all are
We're the shattered fragment of a god that stuck its dick in a black hole
That's all of everything we are, ha-ha-ha-ha
For me like having kids and a family, has been revelatory for me
Because sitting around the table with my family just eating biscuits
And listening to like country music, we're in the South
I have experienced the highest state of ecstasy and
Connection with the divine than any of the crazy things
That I have done as I've attempted to gratify my senses, you know?
Gathering around a dinner table with people you love is older than anything
You know, it's like an ocean. It's a–, this is been something that has been going on
For as long as humans have been wandering around
We sit together and we eat and hopefully we look across the fire or the table
At each other and love each other and laugh
And then which is why when you finally do get lucky enough
That you're no longer stuck in your phone or
Trying to find just the perfect match of psychedelics and fucking, and music
You get lucky enough that you find yourself just doing something normal like that
You might have the most incredible relief when you see oh shit, right
This is it. Nothing's really changed that much. This is it, this is where it's at
All the other stuff, fireworks, fireworks show
That to me is something really beautiful
I like to make breakfast for the kids. I'm sitting around the table with these wonderful kids
We're eating and playing some music that my mom really liked
And I'm realizing, in the connection between me and my kids
And in that cooking for them, and in the music, and suddenly I realize
This is my mom, this is my mom. Now, this is my mom, I'm with my mom
I'm eating with my mom right now, and right when I thought that
Flores looks up from his pancakes and goes, "You found me"
Ha-ha-ha, it was so wild, you know, it was just that moment of like, "Oh right"
You didn't go anywhere, this is–, this was always you anyway
You, mom. This is all moms. This is all the moms
All the moms who aren't–, haven't come to be–, or aren't in their body anymore
You'll find them in those moments where you are just for a second giving
'Cause that's what the feminine does, I mean
There is, in the universe, a thing that we call mothers
That will hold you when you're crying and love you
And the great news is, when your mom drops her body, she's still there
If you want hope, the hope is, guess what? You're the one at the wheel here
You're the one who can hello, you're the one who can
Get back on your meditation question, or, you know, get back to you therapist
Or get back to your exercise routine, or get back to all of the above
You're the one who can do that, that's the great hope
Try to find harmony in your house and in your home
Try to find peace in your home and–, because that's where the real change will come from
And it doesn't have to be like blood relatives or anything like that, it's your community
It's the people around you. It might be your cats
It might–, you know–, who know what it is, it might be your relationship with yourself
But that's the hope part. That's the hope part. I mean, because
Let's imagine that it goes the opposite direction then what everyone's saying
Let imagine one of these fucking UFO's flies over the planet
Cools it down to the right temperature, sucks all of the carbon out of the atmosphere. Gives it–
Puts some oil into ground, whatever it may be. You know, evaporates all the oligarchs and tyrants, fascists
Whatever it may be, let's imagine it happens that way. So what?
You're still going to be of much greater benefit to the people around you
If you've found a way to be peaceful and kind
Either way if you want to find like a rutter for the shit of your existence
Of your incarnation, I think that rutter is exactly what Ram Das said
We work on ourselves so we can help the people around us
That's the hope, that's all, that's the only hope
