Lyrics

Well let me pull myself up and out of this toilet that I'm in.
It's liberating for a little while
But living in shit with shit
And bein' all about shit ain't my style
So up to the front I go
Past the ass rim where the sun and the snow
melt into a river of sprinkly clear water

(Chant)
Deep in the toilet
Doo Deep Doo
I'm in the cube, in the cube
(Repeat 2x)
Deep Doo Doo

Numb to the cold that I'm swimmin' in
I imagine a world without sin
Where there's mutual respect for every soul
With no question and no testin'
Of no one's wits or individuality.

(Chant)

I'm in the cube
And I'm deep in the toilet
Way down deep
Where no good scent can spoil it
where I can get respect
from all the shit around me
As far a what comes down
from above me
I'm in the cube
And I'm deep in the toilet
Way down deep
Where no good scent can spoil it
It eventually turns
into a degree of a flea
Down here I see
the future of life to be
It's too crowded up here
Everybody's greedy and they just
Won't calm down
(They won't calm down)

Their intentions are good
But they always get drowned
by the ego overthrown
And the know-it-all hard-heads
that insist on running the show.
The devil dookey that threatens my friends and me

(Chant 2x)

Some get so caught up
within the whirlpool of bad
that while trying to reach the good
they still end up bein' sad
from trying to rush into
Helping God's plan

(Chant & Chorus)

Back down I go
to the toilet bowl roll
Where no one is
and are afraid to go.
I can find peace and tranquility
amongst the peanuts and shit
The smell is only a bluff
Just to make me leave
from in the cube
this fuckin' cube

In the toilet
Where no good scent can spoil it.
Let's be real with ourselves
Let's be real with ourselves
From the dirt we came
And from the dirt we shall return
This is a lesson in life
We should all learn

I'm in the cube
And I'm deep in the toilet
Way down deep
Where no good scent can spoil it
It eventually turns
into a degree of a flea
Down here I see
the future of life to be.

Cuzz no matter how much you stack it up high,
it always goes down to the dirt where the shit fertilizes
Some don't realize we come from this dirt shit.
The mineral pit.

God made the devil
But the devil makes us weak sometimes
(it makes us weak sometimes)
So are we fighting against a part of God
Or is a part of God's creation lying?
Let some woman or man deem himself special
Cuzz when your label is gone
Your road is long
Back to the minerals and vitamins
Where you belong

(Chant 4x)
