lyrics

Porcelain Hammer
Well me and Friedrich Nietzsche, been hanging out in coffee shops
Yeah, well me and Friedrich Nietzsche, been hanging out in coffee shops
And he’s been filling my head with dangerous ideas.
We’ve been hammering at the weak points of articles of truth
We’ve been hammering at the weak points of articles of truth
Stripp’n them naked in the light, oh what a hideous sight
Oh now I was a porcelain hammer, been try’n to break what I thought mattered,
Oh now I was a porcelain hammer, been try’n to break what I thought mattered,
And though I swung with all my power, I left myself in shatters.

And so I strapped myself in the front seat,
next to the crash dummies
While the engineers fired up their prototype car
And as we careened toward the barrier,
Which theories are tested upon,
I saw myself in the review mirror just before we hit the wall.
And as the wheat meets the mill
And the tide meets the rock,
And as the asteroid met the dinosaurs,
I was shattered and I was scattered.

Oh now I was a porcelain hammer, been try’n to break what I thought mattered,
Oh now I was a porcelain hammer, been try’n to break what I thought mattered,
And though I swung with all my power, I left myself in shatters.
Now goodbye Friedrich Nietzsche, it sure was nice to meet’chya
Yeah goodbye Friedrich Nietzsche, I did my best to read’chya
But if I stay here any longer,
I’ll end up crazy like you.
