《A One God Universe》歌词

[00:00:00] A One God Universe - William S. Burroughs (威廉·S·柏洛兹)

[00:00:12] Consider the impasse of a one God universe.

[00:00:17] He is all-knowing and all-powerful.

[00:00:21] He can't go anywhere since

[00:00:24] He is already everywhere.

[00:00:27] He can't do anything since

[00:00:30] The act of doing presupposes opposition.

[00:00:38] His universe is irrevocably thermodynamic

[00:00:43] Having no friction by definition.

[00:00:47] So, He has to create friction:

[00:00:51] War, Fear, Sickness, Death,

[00:00:56] To keep his dying show on the road.

[00:01:00] Sooner or later,

[00:01:02] "Look boss we don't have

[00:01:04] Enough energy left to fry an elderly woman

[00:01:08] In a flea bag hotel bar."

[00:01:11] "Well, we'll have to start faking it."

[00:01:15] Joe looks after him sourly

[00:01:17] And mixes a bicarbonated soda.

[00:01:22] "Sure, start faking it.

[00:01:23] Sure, and leave the details to Joe."

[00:01:27] Now look, from a real disaster

[00:01:29] You get a pig of energy:

[00:01:32] Sacrifice, Heroism, Grief, Separation,

[00:01:37] Fear and Violent Death,

[00:01:39] And remember one violent death

[00:01:42] Yields more energy than a cancer ward.

[00:01:47] So, from a energy surplus

[00:01:50] You can underwrite the next one.

[00:01:52] So, from a energy surplus

[00:01:55] You can underwrite the next one.

[00:01:59] But the first one's a fake,

[00:02:01] You can't underwrite a shithouse!

[00:02:04] Trying to explain to God Almighty where

[00:02:07] His one God universe is going.

[00:02:12] The asshole doesn't know what buttons to push

[00:02:14] Or what happens when you push them!

[00:02:17] Abandon ship, god damn it every man for himself!

[00:02:23] Recollect Pope John XXIII saying,

[00:02:26] "Like a little soldier,

[00:02:28] I stand at attention in the presence of my captains."

[00:02:34] The old army game from here to eternity:

[00:02:37] Get there firstest with the brownest nose.

[00:02:43] ♬~
