Circle of Poo [French translation]

Kyle: I’m nothing but crap

Mr. Hanky: but crap is everything

Everything on earth poos in some way

and that’s how the cycle happens each and everyday

Just look at the green, green grass and the birds up in the sky

it’s all because of poo and now I’ll tell you why

Grass is eaten by the cattle, which is eaten by women and men,

it fuses through their bodies which becomes poo again

Now poo goes through the sewer which is dumped into the sea

and it’s eaten by the plankton which becomes the fishes’ meat

Then the bigger fish with the poo still inside

swims up near the shore and gets eaten alive

A grizzly bear that poos on a dry piece of sand

so it can spring to life and become poo for the land

It’s the poo of the antelope, the poo of the giraffe

It craws into the earth and becomes the blades of grass

The grass is eaten by the cattle which comes out the other end

To make poo for the humans and start all over again

Mr. Hanky: You see son you’re not an insignificant part of life, you are life

Kyle: but how can I be that giraffe, and blade of grass, and a human. I don’t control what they do.

Mr. Hanky: just like your heart beats without you thinking about it, so too your giraffes and your humans do what they do without you even thinking about it, but it is all one life form, it is all you

Kyle: I think I see now

I’m the poo of the antelope that flows onto to the ground.

Becomes the grass of tomorrow, yeah which the prisoners turn around.

So I’m the leg of the leopard and the wings of the hen

which becomes dinner for the humans and turns back into poo again.

That the circle, the circle of poo.
