The Antipop

The earth, it did crack open on the day that I was born And a thousand merry pranksters came dancin' through the storm I laid cradle bound, a howlin' out the wind Not knowin' years to come, I'd be shoutin' over din I sucked information through the holes in my skull As my belly gurgles hungry, my mouth is always full I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am the Antipop, the man you cannot stop As a young man, I plug into the tube But the stench of all that pretense, I cannot muddle through I lay on my back, and scan the radio All that comes out my speakers is a steady syrup flow I sucked information through the holes in my skull As my belly gurgles hungry, my mouth is always full I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am the Antipop, the man you cannot stop I stood by watching, and I've seen 'em come and go I seen 'em make that million, then vanish into snow They come upon you like a pack of rabid hounds As they slobber in your ears, and purge you with their sounds Pushing misinformation through the holes in my skull My belly gurgles nauseous and still my mouth is full I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am the Antipop, the man you cannot stop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop I am the Antipop, the man you will not stop This completes the recording of the crypt at the basilica of the sacred heart
