Take a Shit on Me
'Take A Shit On Me" is a protest song against all the bullies
and tyrants and dictators of the world who make all the rest of us
so miserable with their bullying and power games and torture.
Hitler, Saddam Hussein, John Ashcroft, Pinochet--doesn't matter,
they're everywhere and eternal always in all human societies.
They are an obvious scourge and cause of so much misery.
Why do we tolerate their existence? Why do we support them
out of misplaced patriotism or craven fear?
My Dad used to yell at me all the time, so I nurture a great deal
of rage when I see bullies in dysfunctional families, as schoolyard
bullies on the playground tormenting their classmates, as mean
bosses browbeating their employees, and as despots torturing and
killing their subjects. It's a universal, timeless phenomenon; it's
miserable suffering at the bad end of someone else's torments,
and it's so damned unnecessary.
I wrote the song based on memories of my father screaming
at me, but it indicts ALL bullies, dictators, thugs, and tyrants
EVERYWHERE ETERNALLY.

Take a shit on me
Take a shit on me
I won't be free until you torture me
And stomp me down into the ground
Take a shit on me
Take a shit on me
Why don't you kick my ass?
Why don't you kick my ass?
Come on and kick my ass all across the yard
To show the world you're the man in charge
Come on and kick my ass
Why don't you kick my ass?
All the tyrants of the world
Always kill us every day
We gotta rise on up and blast them down
And feed their bloody corpses to our starving dogs
Come on and torture me
Why don't you torture me?
Come on and torture me in your dungeon cell
As I writhe and bleed in your despot's Hell
Come on and torture me
Why don't you torture me?
All the tyrants of the world
Always kill us every day
We gotta rise on up and blast them down
And feed their bloody corpses to our starving dogs
(REPEATEDLY REPEAT AND FADE OUTRO CHORUS)
