The truth is ugly, so we put our prophets in prison.
People said I was a leader. Here's the kind of leader I was. I made sure toilets were clean. I made sure the animals were fed. Any sores on the horses? I'd heal them. Anything need fixing? I'd fix it. I was always the one to do everything nobody wanted to do. Cats need feeding? I'd feed them. When it was cold, I was always the last one to get a blanket.
What do the animals do in the zoo? That's the same thing that I do in my cell. I play with myself. I make little string dolls. I talk to roaches. I'm in jail for nine counts of murder, and I didn't do it. I'm in solitary confinement, may I add.
I was a beatnik in the '50s before the hippies came along.

I know and understand you are much more than what I think you are but first I must deal with you the way I think you even if that's only my own thinking and not you.
We use the word God. God hooks all the other words up. I'm the pope. I'm ten times the pope. I'm sixty times the pope. But I'm the pope in the hills and in the mountains.
I'm Jesus Christ, whether you want to accept it or not, I don't care.
If you're going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy.
I ain't got no magical powers and mystical trips and all that kind of crap. It's kind of silly.
You people would convict a grilled cheese sandwich of murder and the people wouldn’t question it.
