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 lay cradle bound
a howlin' out my 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 till the day i drop
i am the antipop
the man you can not stop
as a young man
i plug into the tube
but the stench of all that pretense
i can not muddle through
i lay on my back 
and scan the radio 
all that comes out of my speakers 
is a steady syrup flow
i suck information through the holes in my skull
as my belly gurgles hungry my mouth is always full
i stood by watching
and i seen 'em come and go
i seen 'em make that million
then vanish in the 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 till the day i drop
i am the antipop
the man you will not stop
