lyrics

THE HAT SPEAKS
BULLDADA
Very rousing, very carnivalesque.
But if you think a party in the
desert is going to assuage your
cosmic homesickness you’ve been
hitting the kool-aid a little hard.
STETSON
It’s not a cult or a carnival. The
spectacle is not a substitute for
experience.
BULLDADA
Hey Mr. Festival Founder, haven’t I
seen you on YouTube?
STETSON
When we stop consuming we
create. And a living culture is born.
BULLDADA
Are you trying to tell me that
throwing some kind of Mad Max
sock-hop in a dustbowl is gonna
fix our wounded society? You gotta
be in a zip lock cult to believe
that shit.
STETSON
What else you gonna believe? The
world around us is falling apart.
This is a chance, a shot. We’re
running out of time. So burning a
man isn’t such a bad plan.
Adversity brings us together. We
have to build on the visions we
dream. When we burn the old we
can forge a new reality.

[Are those printed tickets the
greeters are collecting? What
rights and responsibilities do they
enshrine? Only a lawyer would
bother reading them.]
