about

the remainder is always greater than what you take away

lyrics

I know that you've been sensing
every minute, every hour
that you live life like a bee
from flower to flower
and that it's not enough
to satisfy the thirst
another comes along that's just
as pretty as the first

And I know that what you wanted
was pleasure free of pain
but life is such a tricky bitch
it all ends up in vain
you'll take another shot
to satiate desire
but one more shot is just enough
to make you want another

and they lied
when they told you
that being good was really good enough
and they lied
when they told you
that being bad will get you in the end
the sad fact is
the remainder
is always greater
than what you take away

I know that you've been thinking
every minute, every day
of how you can get out of this
and not give much away
but weakness isn't virtue
indulgence isn't power
you'll get when they throw you out
for pissing in the flowers

While you're standing weeping
I'll tell you one more fable
there was a man who gave his food
to others at the table
I'm sure you think there's more
but I assure you there ain't
nothing's more preposterous than
sanctifying saints

for they lied
when they told you
that being good meant anything at all
and they lied
when they told you
that wickedness will lead you to the pit
the sad truth is
all those stories
have the ripened smell
of righteous bullshit
