lyrics:
I was sittin on the shitter
I was thinkin ‘bout them critters
All the microbes and their litter
Munchin on a big ol’ dinner
They be eating up my shit
like it was a snack pack
Digesting poo and pathogens
Coming out my fat crack
Currently my poo
gets mixed with toxic goo
producing bio-waste
that has nothing to do with me or you
It’s mixed with other elements
at the facilities to which it ’s sent
But if you keep your excrement
it could be quite excellent
A precious load is sent from your ass to find life again
When vegetables soak in postassium and nitrogen
Cows do not a possess moo-nopoly on ma-nutrients
For human shit too when used properly is fruitful shit
You could let it pile high in a compost toilet
Or just shit outside, sit back, let it sit and enjoy it
Your crap is a cash crop that lands with a splash and plop
Snatch it, wash your hands, and watch the land’s plants pop
Humanure is heaven sent
Bio-gas and nutrients,
It cycles backs, it’s common sense
Mature your turds and use what’s left
It ain’t refuse if you know how to use it
Power your motor with your methane
Now that’s a bowel movement
Keep your shit
Reap your shit
Eat your shit
Be your shit
We are shit, we’re people shit
Eat shit, be at peace with it
See to shit
Keep your shit
Heap your your shit
Heat your shit
Eco shit, don’t ego trip
Believe in shit, don’t leave your shit
If you think about it, the entire universe is just a closed system subsisting on its own waste
A giant shit-storm, where you’re the shit, but you’re also the new shit
You’re the old shit, the new shit
You’re The Shit
And you’re a star
A quantum field fluctuates, a supernova detonates
And it produces you, a piece of waste — the poop the whole defecates
A star shart in dark space, a sparked fart, a shard in place
Dangling there until it breaks. Sorry if it’s hard to face
All was one yet nothing, till the spread of a crack
From which the uni-turd emerges till it all flushes back
We’re ass kabob asstronaughts, and we all have to ask
Was it god that first dropped us, or some random ass?
Time’s a long log, linked without suture
From the ass of the past to the mouth of the future
The old poops out the new, till the new poops the newer
The used is the user, the produced the producer
It’s doo-doo: what you do’s done to you, the doer
The universe is you and you’re a beautiful pooper
Universal manure — and you’re what it’s poop is
But you nourish it in turn — you are poop with a purpose
Keep your shit
Reap your shit
Eat your shit
Be your shit
We are shit, we’re people shit
Eat shit, be at peace with it
See to shit
Keep your shit
Heap your your shit
Heat your shit
Eco shit, don’t ego trip
Believe in shit, don’t leave your shit
Eat that shit
Be that shit
He that shit
She that shit
I eat my shit
You eat you’re shit?
I eat my shit
That’s some shit
Eat that shit
Be that shit
He that shit
She that shit
I eat my shit
You eat you’re shit?
I eat my shit
That’s some shit
Infinite shit has happened
Shit will happen in its wake
And in the end the shit you take is equal to the shit you make
Keep your shit
Reap your shit
Eat your shit
Be your shit
We are shit, we’re people shit
Eat shit, be at peace with it
See to shit
Keep your shit
Heap your your shit
Heat your shit
Eco shit, don’t ego trip
Believe in shit, don’t leave your shit
Keep your shit
Reap your shit
Eat your shit
Be your shit
We are shit, we’re people shit
Eat shit, be at peace with it
See to shit
Keep your shit
Heap your your shit
Heat your shit
Eco shit, don’t ego trip
Believe in shit, don’t leave your shit
