Mount Self Pride

{verse 1}
Defuse contention
because I refuse to contend
on the mountains of self pride
where the rules they tend to bend
how rapid things turn vapid
please send your latest trend
express deliver something that shimmers
so we don't die of boredom
{Chorus}
Capsized are our inhibitions
in the sea of lust
whirlpools of guilt pull us under
drag us down to it's sea floor
{verse 2}
Vendors selling scapegoat pills
on the corner of depression alley
invite you to stroll down it's path
where narrowing walls lead to your finale
a nice cold electric bath
one leaf left on the tree of knowledge
while profanity fires smolder
philosophy forest has fallen to flames
psychologists struggle for order
(chorus)
{Refrain}
Nakedness is required
not only body but of spirt
now is the time to hope and pray
that is if you even fear it
