Idiot Song
Idiot Flesh Lyrics

The idiots are here and all they've brought is candy.
Even though the idiots do not have any useful or valuable things to offer, they come bearing gifts as a token of their innocence and their true intentions.

The idiots are here and all they need is love, love, love.
The only thing the idiots truly crave and need is love, as this is the ultimate expression of humanity and the one thing that transcends all differences.

The idiots are here and no one can tell just what can be wrong.
Although the presence of the idiots may seem suspicious, no one can really fathom what their true motives are, what they stand for or what their ultimate goal might be.

But no one goes around like that no more.
The arrival of the idiots has changed the social fabric and the way people interact with each other, so that the old ways of doing things and the old values are no longer applicable.

The idiots have told us that our dress is fancy, and we can see that they are all as plain as day.
Despite their lack of social graces, the idiots have taken it upon themselves to criticize other people's clothes, even though they themselves are not well-dressed or sophisticated.

The idiots have told us that they could enjoy a dancing pig, but no one talks like that here any more.
The idiots display a curious and somewhat creepy fascination with things that would ordinarily repel or disgust normal people, which shows that they are not aware of social norms and what is acceptable to talk about or to appreciate.

"We are the idiots so do not fear.
The idiots try to dispel any fears or worries that their presence might cause, by reassuring everyone that they are harmless and do not pose any threat to the community.

We've almost no intention of settling here.
While the idiots may seem to be staying for an indefinite amount of time, the truth is that they do not plan on establishing roots or becoming a permanent fixture of the place.

With buckets of candy and teeth in a jar, we were hoping to catch you at home.
The candy and the teeth in a jar are just a ruse for the idiots to gain entry into people's homes, where they hope to interact with them and learn more about their way of life.

We are the idiots and we don't care if you are addicted to these and these figures of speech that hold you upright in your chair.
The idiots are oblivious to the social conventions and the customs that make up the familiar environment of the people they encounter, and they do not show any respect or admiration for them.

We know nothing of this, we're here to fetch the dancing pig."
The dancing pig is a metaphor for something that is elusive or unattainable, something that the idiots seek but do not understand. They hope that by being persistent and unconventional, they can get what they want.

The idiots are gone and we give a toothless answer.
The departure of the idiots leaves a void in the community, and people are left with a sense of emptiness and lack of direction.

When questioned on the rate of growth and who's in charge.
After the idiots leave, people start asking themselves difficult questions about the state of the world, the forces that govern it, and the challenges that they face.

The idiots are gone and everyone here has cancer now, and no one locks their doors here anymore.
The impact of the idiots' visit is felt long after they are gone, as people start experiencing unexpected and devastating effects on their health and their sense of security.

New things in old packages, old things in new.
The visit of the idiots has opened up people's minds and made them question their assumptions and their beliefs, which leads to a new appreciation for the old and a new curiosity for the new.

A parcel returned at the source, "IT'S FOR YOU."
The return of the idiots brings an unexpected package that turns out to be a message or a gift that was meant for the people they encountered, which they can now interpret and gain wisdom from.

Old things in new packages, new things in old.
The idiots have managed to switch things around and present familiar things in an unexpected way, which highlights the importance of perspective and the need for continuous learning and discovery.

A gift from an idiot thief can't be sold.
Despite their lack of social grace, the idiots have managed to give something of value to the people they met, which cannot be measured by conventional means or exchanged for material goods.
