Fried Tongue
Screaming Headless Torsos Lyrics

Let sharp and poisonous tongues be deep-fried
May those who use harmful speech face consequences, like being fried in hot oil

With my fist you sure will collide
If necessary, physical force may be used to defend oneself against those who speak harmfully

You'll be floating out with the tide
Those who harm others will eventually face consequences and suffer the fate they brought upon themselves

In brain of cat and toad and frog
Harmful thoughts are like the brains of animals, primitive and irrational

In water green, in festering slime,
Those harmful thoughts ferment and grow in an unhealthy environment, like polluted water or rotten slime

Brine, soak, choke, fritter fricassee,
Those harmful thoughts and actions will be soaked, suffocated, and cooked until they are destroyed

Arsenic both white and green,
Even seemingly harmless things can be deadly in large doses, just like harmful speech or actions

Saltpetre, quicklime agony,
The pain experienced from facing consequences for harmful actions is similar to the burning sensation caused by saltpetre or quicklime

And tempered with ley,
Even though the punishment may seem harsh, it is necessary to achieve justice and prevent further harm

Covered with soot, pitch, feathered and tarred
The punishment will be messy and humiliating, just like being covered in soot, pitch, feathers, and tar

And gossipmongers will be deep-fried
Those who spread rumors and lies will face consequences, just like those who use harmful speech

Off a cliff you will take a ride
Those who harm others will eventually fall from grace and face the consequences of their actions

Lying punks that spread only lies,
Those who only spread lies and deceive others bring harm to themselves and their reputation

In water wherein old boots rot,
Harmful thoughts grow and fester in stagnant and decaying environments, just like old rotting boots

In canker sores and turds of swine
Harmful thoughts and actions are like the sores and excrement of pigs, dirty and unpleasant

Putrefy in lizard's blood,
Harmful actions and thoughts can become toxic and poisonous, like lizard's blood

In badgers', wolves' and foxes' gall and spleen,
Harmful thoughts and actions are like the organs of wild animals, full of bile and bitterness

Soak, ferment, sour, soil, foul, stir, brew, fester, scream
Harmful thoughts and actions grow and become more intense over time, like a fermenting and souring mixture that eventually screams in agony

So old and rotten it starts to gum
Harmful actions and thoughts can become so ingrained and rotten that they stick to a person and become a part of them

Gagged and hog tied
Sometimes the only way to stop someone from causing harm is to physically restrain them

This is a warning for you big mouth fools
The song is a warning to those who use harmful speech and spread lies

You speak and green acid spit doth drool
Harmful speech is like spitting poison that corrodes and damages others

Throwing friends under wagon wheels
Those who cause harm to others, even friends or allies, will face consequences eventually

You'll slip a thousand times on banana peels,
Those who cause harm to others will face multiple obstacles and difficulties in life, like slipping on banana peels

This is a warning; fore your soul is weak
Those who cause harm to others are ultimately harming themselves and their own character

Cobblestone blood running down your cheek
The consequences of harmful actions are bloody, painful, and leave scars

Spewing things, hateful smears
Harmful speech and actions are full of hate and anger

Now your angel wings doth disappear
Those who cause harm to others lose their innocence, purity, and moral character

First mistake might feel real good,
Causing harm to others may feel good in the moment, but it is ultimately destructive and harmful

Keep your veiny red eyes under them black hood
Those who cause harm to others are often secretive and hide behind a facade of darkness and treachery

Listen listen to the clues,
The song is a warning to those who use harmful speech and actions

Salvation emerges for those who won't refuse
Those who choose not to cause harm to others will be rewarded with salvation and a clear conscience

2nd time, well shame on you
If someone continues to cause harm to others and does not learn from their mistakes, they deserve to be shamed

God's busy with other tasks, boo hoo
There will come a point where divine justice will be served, and those who cause harm to others will face consequences

Lightning strikes the blue sky grey
The consequences for harmful actions may come suddenly and unexpectedly, like lightning striking the blue sky and turning it grey

Run run run the other way.........
The only way to escape the consequences of harmful actions is to stop causing harm altogether
