Facetious attitude periodically eclipsed by heart-felt wonderings about the existential root

WHERE SAVAGES ROAM I'm threatened by the safety net and troubled by solutions to the problems of the world I tremble when the earth is calm and sleep under the rubble like a frightened feral animal Oh, but it's cold in the home where the savages roam Where the savages roam Aah, aah, aah ... The harshest winter yet All the horses have run crazy God has killed the internet The final course has been taken No, no, no No, no, no No, no, no Aah, aah, aah ...

Lyrics

SAYER OF SOOTH (uh-uh, no)   

When I was small my forbearers taught me to pray
though I barely knew what to say
so I asked for my future on a tray 
(uh-uh, no ... uh-uh, no)

For years I was served by the wisdom of the age
and learned without? mind of my own
while I basked in the warmth of all knowledge

I sang to the world and every note floated over the pale,
filled a sail, told a tale

When I grew large my caretakers washed their hands of me
Said I'd become much trouble for their care
And I dared ask forgiveness for my transgressed ways
(uh-uh, no ... uh-uh, no) 

But I was refused, no amount of pleading would do
thus forced to set sail on my own
and the dawn was upon me, or so I knew

I sang to the world, to every corner an earful of truth,
Sayer of sooth yet short of tooth

Long gone is the day when I had my way 
and every situation in hand
and drew standing ovations for my plans
(uh-uh, no ... uh-uh, no)

But I still remember like only yesterday,
being told how my dreams would come true
when I knew I'd been dreaming my whole life through
