Lyrics taken from "Poop's Principles" on The Firesign Theatre's 1972 album Dear Friends (thanks GrantHarding):

Side 1: (Live) The entire first performance of Faith. No More., recorded on Oct.11 at SF's On Broadway.
Band members consisted of Faith. No More. along with appreciated assistance from Joe Pie (vocals) and Jake Smith (guitar).
Sound was engineered by Matt Wallace.

Thanks to all who attended the show and enabled its success, and to those who hope to see the next one.

There is nothing very odd about disliking birds of prey, but this is no reason for holding it against large birds of prey that they carry off lambs. And when the lambs whisper amoung themselves,'These birds of prey are evil, and does this not give us a right to say that whatever is the opposite of the bird of prey must be good?' there is nothing intrinsically wrong with this argument, although the birds of prey will look somewhat quizzically and say,"We have nothing against these good lambs; in fact, we love them; nothing tastes better than tender lamb.'"

Love this "punky" stuff!

[Traductus5972]

nice now we need to decipher his lyrics for why do you bother

[GrantHarding]

I know what this is! It's the text from a Firesign Theatre track called "Poop's Principles", on their album "Dear Friends". As my dead friend-- dear friend Charles Throat said, as he threw out the first aluminum bat, "This isn't fair!" I knew he was right.

[Traductus5972]

I doubt it

[Traductus5972]

yeah cuz i'm lost after the this isn't fair i knew he was right

[smartinezfnm]

Haha, thanks, Part 1 down.. lets see if we can get what he says after music starts. I'll try it tomorrow.

[Traductus5972]

this is what i have deciphered so far

long long ago long before this error of permasive permisiveness

I was there watching, waiting, wimpering, soaking behind the barns and rural realities knowing to bne onlu my self what was about to be going on

as my dead friend, dear friend charles throat said these are the first of these numerous (or aluminum i'm not sure cuz the drums cover over it) Massacres (then the music kicks in)

[Traductus5972]

haha you know what i'm actually gonna try

[smartinezfnm]

I know Pills for Breakfast was written by Bordin and Martin, but this does sound like an early incarnation of that track (once keyboard start) and could explain the heavy drums and repetitive guitar.

Does anyone want to decipher what Joe is saying?
