Tigress is a myth
U-Fraidees are lurkers
they might even be 'you', U-Fraidees
Compositions and arrangements, production, janitorial: CIVIL
Story behind the song
I woke up one morning at my campsite with the first two verses as you see them here. I was a bit irritated at the world situation,you know: tribes believing they're chosen by a Creator to expand territories at the expense of all other tribes...
The scansion of Dylan's All Along The Watchtower, particularly in the Hendrix cover, was stuck in my head all thru this period.
Lyrics
HERESIES
Jimi Hendrix died for all our sins
As did one *Marilyn Monroe*
There are many here among us
Who know from hard roads to a ho
Your Jesus, in Her Boddhisattva Aspect
(Mos def nitely the hippest of the Jews)
Turned tables on some pawnshops in a temple
And ended up with nothing-left-to-lose
Those Honest Injun Joes, baptized-by-firewater
Hunted, gathered, Bar-B-Qi¿½d, all out-of-doors
You built McMansions, overlooking Overlook Hotels
Established systems, turned us all out as your whores
Consider this, you deep-fried Chickens in your Church's
Inflicting stories fit-for-children-only on us all
No Bush is burning midsummeri¿½s midnite oil supply
And ol' Poppy's pocket lip-sync won't long be recalled
Processes overheat and your system files corrupt
You need a re-boot, and a clean-slate re-install
Instead, you depose Shahs (I Rocked, I Ran) from here
Competing prophets duke it out for Winner Taketh All
