All Of The Above lyrics
This is the tank that the taskmaster made 
This is the alligator Florida everglades 
This is the mess of material excess 
Stood up and strong like a full court like press 
And when the storm turns the deck to splinters 
And when the mast lies like snow in winter
When the boat won't float and you're in the sea's clutch 
That's when I guarantee you that nothing never felt like so much 

We hold these truths for to be self-evident 
And anyone who isn't with us wouldn't understand us
We're not intent on the fall of the government 
We're not intent on the rise of the right hand 
To all of the above us 
This is the worst thing that's ever happened 
The captain's screaming that he's lost his wife and daughter 
His hull is breached his heart is broken 
The place he keeps his boots is underwater 
And if you checked here an hour ago 
They would have said everything was copasthetic 
But then the sea did a furious thing 
It's funny how dreams can be so prophetic

There was a time when this was common practice 
There was a time when any child could hack this 
There was a time when the people left singing
Of the perils of the pit and the pendulum swinging
Here's anything to read to help with your thinking 
Here's anything to hold to keep you from sinking 
Here's two times the work in one half the time 
And everything you need is calcium lust and rhyme 

We hold these truths for to be self-evident 
And anyone who isn't with us wouldn't understand us
We're not intent on the fall of the government 
We're not intent on the rise of the right hand 

To all of the above us 

We hold these truths for to be self-evident 
And anyone who isn't with us wouldn't understand us
We're not intent on the fall of the government 
We're not intent on the rise of the right hand 
To all of the above us 
This is the worst thing that's ever happened 
The captain's screaming that he's lost his wife and daughter 
His hull is breached his heart is broken 
The place he keeps his boots is underwater 
And if you checked here an hour ago 
They would have said everything was copasthetic 
But then the sea did a furious thing 
It's funny how dreams can be so prophetic
