[Intro: Feedback, Somebody drops a microphone. A bass note hums for too long] Wow-oh-oh-oh- [VERSE 1] The map becomes the territory, The label eats the thing, A million words for everything, And nothing means a thing. String the nouns together, Hammer verbs into a wall, Every sentence shrinks the universe, Makes every mountain small. The world was wide and colorful, Before we named the sky, Now it's "sky" and "tree" and "rock" and "bird", "tooth", "mouth", "earth"... And nobody asks why. [PRE-CHORUS] Every word's a filing cabinet! Every thought's a cage! Every dictionary's a dentist Ripping out the page! That limit has been reacheeed! [CHORUS] CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! Language makes my molars itch! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! I can't fit existence in a bitchin' little niche! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! My gums reject your ontology! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! Bite the whole epistemology! [(Guitar solo that sounds like a noisy vacuum cleaner dying)] [VERSE 2] Sapir said a thing, Whorf said another thing, Some professor said the first two guys Didn't quite say that thing. And I keep saying the same thing. I read a book about perception, I chewed it into paste, Now the footnotes taste like peppermint And theoretical waste. The world is not a paragraph, The moon is not a chart, Yet somehow every lecture leaves A cavity in my heart. "If you're not good enough, that's a kind of art." [BREAKDOWN] WHAT IF— The teeth are the language? WHAT IF— The gums are reality? WHAT IF— The plaque is society? WHAT IF— THE TOOTHBRUSH IS— (FLUORINE! CALCIUM!) AND— ...I forgot. [CHORUS] CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! Taxonomy is tooth decay! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! Chew the categories away! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! The cosmos fits between my jaws! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! Bite through nature's little laws! [*(Everything speeds up)*] E-E-EEEEEE! [FINAL SECTION] The world! The world! The world! The world! Too many words! Too many words! Too many words! Too many words! **************** I DON'T WANNA DESCRIBE IT! I DON'T WANNA DEFINE IT! I DON'T WANNA CLASSIFY IT! I WANNA— AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA— TWRAAAAAA— SKRRAAAAKK— GRRRRRAAAA— CHUKKACHUKKACHUKKACHUKKA— **************** YEAA! BLORF! SNAGGA! DENTA-DENTA-DENTA-DENTA! GRUNKA GRUNKA GRUNKA GRUNKA! MOLARPUNK! GUMCORE! TOOTHBLAST! FANGGORE! NYAH-NYAH-NYAH-NYAH-NYAH-NYAH-NYAH— (WOOO-FOOO!!) RRRRRR..... KRRRRRRUNCH! "I'M GONNA CRUNCH THE WORLD!" HAAAAH-HAAAAH— BWAAAAAA— CRUNCHCRUNCHCRUNCHCRUNCHCRUNCHCRUNCHCRUNCH— [*(The band continues screaming after the song has clearly ended)*]
