Description: This song worked once the opening melody became divided up as a call and response between guitar and bass. Words are a litany of childhood lessons meted out of context or meaning by useless adults. Thnings have changed, a bit.

lyrics

Somewhere along the border, I did a forward roll. Two dead rats in that freezer. Do you want to shake them by the tail? Tahi, Rua, Toru, Whā! Sing it loud, give it everything!

Let's all take turns to hold Mary. Plaster girl, she's so heavy. Look at poor Karl, he's so sweaty. It's his turn, he's not ready. Tahi, Rua, Toru, Whā! Sing it loud, give it everything!

Many things are not forgotten. I recall the open coffin. Let each child see the body. Teach them all that life is cruelty. Tahi, Rua, Toru, Whā! Sing it loud, give it everything!
