Civilisation
Joe Gideon & The Shark

My father told me that the world was flat,nAnd I was happy in my sweet pancake world,nWas my fathers child, never questioned what daddy toldnBut the seed of doubt got in me and it grew into a treenIts doubting branches got a hold of me.nnIn order to believe I had to learn some whole truthsnAnd these kinds of truths you can’t learn at home,nWhen your mother watching over you.nI had to educate myself, experience things first hand.nnI went on a learning, to learn the ways of man nnI acquainted myself with the Greeks, spent some time in RomenStayed in a monastery till the monks told me to gonI tried fast food, and slow food and meals between mealsnBought myself a new nose and a new set of wheelsnMy mother was tickled pink when I called her the other day,nThat might have been collect but she always likes to paynDispensed with pleasantries got down a ????? taxnI placed an ad in the Dailies for a female with vital statsnnI went on a learning, to learn the ways of man.nnI was a writer, a musician, a fishmonger, a politiciannI went all spastic like Lars von Trier nWrote a book which was a spectacular successnSpent all my earnings on weed and crystal meth.nnI went on learning, to learn the ways of man.nnBought a bicycle in Clapham where I roamed the early hoursnPicked up the Queen and he showed me his crown jewels nMade myself mysterious with a haircut and a hatnWorked 9 to 5 at Debenhams, rented a flatnI lasted until my lunch break and then I took off,nThere wasn’t a moment to loose,nI’d already wasted the morning selling another man shoesnnI went on learning, to learn the ways of mannnSo my possessions didn’t speak for several years,nThere was a light, there was a soundnAnd someone whistled in my ear:nIt was time to return home for I had the knowledge of mannAnd the learning I made, I had to tell my mum and dadnThe circumference of a circle is twice the diameter within,nThe centre of which the universe begins,nThe radius is like your aura which around you glows,nThe proton and the neutron know which way to go,nSaid its only natural if I would have given them a fight,nTold this to my dad who told me my belt was too tightnMother didn’t say a word, but I know she heardnNow I learnt the meaning of Mum is the word.n
