Franz Von Assisi

Lyrics

Hey Mr. Formalist Popper, snapper, stuffer, ripper Coat hanger, slow hand, unfriendly Drag up a heavy truth slapper In a see-through wrapper

Positive thinking, a welcome mat Make your perfect moves at that The master plan inside your hat Is running down your leg like your brain

Space invading total zero With your instrument in your hand Construct a better stupidity than This one if you can

Your future will be wonderful Your future will be fine Your future will be wonderful As long as it doesn't coincide with mine
