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
