Knowledge Learning

about

"Knowledge Learning" is a workplace scenario, say, a marketing department. A dylanesque kind of affair where mundane characters are blown up into Alice-in-Wonderland kind of figures.

The beat is "Have a Cigar" Floyd, and this song is unusual for me, structure-wise, as it has no chorus or bridge, just an instrumental refrain.

lyrics

"Knowledge Learning" [vonHummer]
Queen of C’mere-a-sec’ beckons the Balding Swine to check out the wreck she’s made of her dull design, trading trivia til they establish that “nice” is “fine,” keeping one step ahead of the headless unemployment line…

Cat Lady Latest Temp, hair dyed like dried ketchup, “Let me know if I can suck any harder,” she says, sulking and sucking up to the Drones jumping over her bones to find out who’s got the scones (sweet sustenance as the Cubicle Rubes surf for phones…)

Harvey Hardly-Rockstar hides his light under a lamp, he’s a bitter little brainy volcano tucked into Chaplin’s tramp, way way past the age to take rage and blow it out yer amp, feeling the friction of impending eviction from the Gypsy Camp…

Dickhut! Dickhut! Dickhut!
