Under My Ark
Buy an Ark
Transport just my family
Ark is big enough but you aren’t coming
Ark on Gravel, big wheels, better watch out
Ark just mowed down 7 little kids I couldn’t see
But I’m on the Ark I feel like a Viking King
Don’t pay attention to the lives I mowed down
Feel Real Big On a Viking Sled
My family is protected by my Ark
Don’t think about other people on the streets
My Ark is my Covenant but not to you
You are gravel under my Ark’s wheels
My family is...

Breaking News! Fearing the outbreak of WW3 France has discreetly already surrendered!

And me too, publicly and clearly conveniently shouts the odious, vulturine egoist Nadine Dorries!
By Stanley Collymore
Quite bluntly I don't believe a solitary
word that this plainly malevolently
egregious, actually egotistically
inured, discernibly rabid attention seeker and
toxically, though pathetically so, significantly,
basically vaingloriously, virtue-signalling and
post-menopausal hag, is lyingly stating! This
sprog, obviously born on the 21st May 1957,
allegedly sexually assaulted by a vicar when
she was aged nine and thus mathematically
a situation that would have very purportedly
occurred in 1966, but...

Diana
Flash goes off
My life is extinguished
Lasting in my floating nightmares
Can’t come up for air
Coulda been the queen
Living fairytale dreams
Instead twisted and bleeding
In the back of an Audi
Vultures on the kill
Snapping to feed the till
Piranha on the flesh
Down to bone
My life is extinguished
Lasting in my floating nightmares
Can’t come up for air
Coulda been the queen
Living fairytale dreams
Instead twisted and bleeding
In the back of an Audi
Vultures on the kill
Snapping to feed the till
Piranha on the flesh
Down to bone

The Church of England - Disestablishment won't be amiss for the right reasons, though not convenient ones.
By Stanley Collymore
Henry VIII wanted, against proper
religious protocols, the express
disapproval, and similarly too
the implacable non-consent of the Pope, at
the time as well as undoubtedly the Roman
Catholic's, obviously controlling authorities,
to flimsily divorce his lawful wife Catherine
of Aragon and crucially, marry his mistress
Anne Boleyn: who, actually, most ironically,
on his quite arbitrarily, breaking away from
the Roman Catholic Church really because
of the clearly aforementioned stated facts ...

The pervasive feudal-mindset shackles of privileged, private education, in the UK and USA!
By Stanley Collymore
In very marked contrast to Britain
the rest of Europe and most of
the world, quality education
is mainly publicly funded and is furthermore
universally publicly and also politically seen
as an inalienable right for everyone; and as
such most certainly and quite evidently not
simply, only a privilege for some! Moreover,
numerous countries globally provide better
education, and literally do so with fees that
obviously cost 95% less to students than it
basically would in Britain and likewise also ...

Especially me
Especially me
I was made by God
A long time a go
Also I always try To
Think positive
I am always glad
That I am alive
Every day
I was made by God
A long time a go
Also I always try To
Think positive
I am always glad
That I am alive

Nigel Farage - the odiously self-serving, virtue signalling, racist and fascist con man!
By Stanley Collymore
Crowdfunding, relative in all respects
to Nigel Farage, is actually the true
grift here! Odious tricks crucially
associated with which Nigel has undoubtedly
quite effectively acquired, having learnt them
in the USA! For Nigel Farage evidently knows
full well that this discernibly virtue signalling
private prosecution he's initiating is naturally
pure farce, but none the less simply ensures
for himself the key public attention, that this
odiously vile and obsessive attention...

Go the Green Backs
Rat a tat tat
Go the green backs
There is a scent of greed
Security all around
Vans full of cash
Ben counts 100
Don’t look that way
For comes another day
Guard drops down
Green greed escapes
Slapping em down
Picking em up
Blue marble spins on green
Turquoise beauty
Loves you when the rent is paid
Don’t pick up the tab
Ain’t licking the landing strip
Greed makes the world go round
Rat a Tat Tat
Go the green bucks
Go the green backs
There is a scent of greed
Security all around
Vans full of cash
Ben counts 100
Don’t look that way
For comes another day
Guard drops down
Green greed escapes
Slapping em down
Picking em up
Blue marble spins on green
Turquoise beauty
Loves you when the rent is paid
Don’t pick up the tab
Ain’t licking the landing strip
Greed makes the world go round
Rat a Tat Tat
Go the green bucks

Is Ignorance Always So Bliss? (Collab w/ Vision_of_insanity)
Slithering on their bellies out in old L.A.
Superficial elite’s invade artificial minds
Wilting souls exposed in shades of grey
Contractual red tape is the tie that binds
Throw a few crumpled bills in their face
They eat the bait right off the hook
Executives laugh, as these soulless souls try and compromise
They beg, as their lives are ruined
Heavy scrutiny under a public spotlight
Another fallen angel drowning in disgrace
The hunter is now hunted in such delight
When death arrives wearing a familiar face
Listen...

The U.S.S. Tyrannic
People knew just how stupid things could get
then proceeded to vote that way again
so all their ballots could aid and abet
the greater evil and his toady men
now mandate confident with sucker votes
for double down syndrome bloviation
insisting on lies, or at best misquotes,
to finish off a once mighty nation
full of dipshits he knew would never learn
due to multivariate addictions
and subsequent lack of public concern
in the joint space of shared afflictions...
