Tuli Kupferberg Homo Erectus
- 14 years ago
Tuli's dark warning to the primitive man that still exists today, the military and capitalist classes. A parasong to the tune of the Beatles, Lady Madonna. From Revolting News, 1994, filmed by co-producer Lanny Kenfield who is also the off-camera voice.
Lyrics:
Homo Erectus, headed for a fall
Wonder how you've managed to survive at all
Who finds the acreage when you gotta eat?
Did you think that apples would always fall at your feet?
Ice Age arrived without a suitcase
Global warming stomps in prodigal sun (that's "s-u-n")
Third world's supposed to lift self by its boot lace
Won't that be fun?
Homo Erectus, more billions at your breast
Wonder how you're going to milk that test.
Won't that be fun?
Homo Erectus, beat the commie hunt
Finally killed the plague that comrade Jesus begun
Wasn't that fun?ha ha ha
So now, Homo Erectus, guns in every hand
Listen to the carnage of the capitalist band
Black Tuesday's still returning
Fasting Sabbath on the way
Gloomy Monday New York's burning,
Won't that be fun?
Homo Erectus, heading for a fall
Wonder if we'll manage to survive at all.
