Ommmm Shanty Town

Ommmm Shanty Town

Welcome to the K-Mart Tribal Ballet

It all started in a small town in South Africa

called Johannesburg

And quickly spread through the first world,

Third World, fourth dimension

and seventh heaven

Forever and ever Amen



My body is bread in a holy war

Change Change Change Change

My body is love in a holy store

Your body is God and I want some more now

Your body is money and I'm spending it now



Kick your own ass Now Now

Kick your sweet ass Now



No pride No fear No shame

Your body never lies

No guilt No sin No blame

Your body never lies

No grudge No spite No greed

Your body never lies

No gloom No doom No doubt

Your body never lies



The K-Mart Tribal Ballet all started

when I was only 10 years old

and I was in a K-Mart

in Johannesburg, South Africa

This was not a dream

This was completely real

I was in the only K-Mart

in Johannesburg, South Africa

and I could not find my mother

And the blue light was flashing

And my head was spinning

And I could hardly breathe

And everywhere I turned

there were white white white people

and sickly sweet smells

And the white white white saleslady

was in my face snarling

Can I help you Can I help you

Can I help you Can I help you

And I was out of luck

But just when I thought

that I could not go on

I looked up into the blue light flashing

And I saw a vision

of the Wild Black Virgin of Johannesburg

And she looked down at me and said

HONEY, KICK YOUR OWN ASS
