The title is a reference to experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage who eschewed traditional cinematic conventions in favor of expressive films in which he frequently manipulated the physical film strips and utilized in-camera techniques.

[Verse 1]
We need so damn many things
To keep our dazed lives going
Many things to keep our lives
Lives going, so many things
We need so damn many things
(We need so damn, we need so damn many things)
To keep our stupid lives going
(Keep our stupid, keep our stupid lives going)
Many things to keep our lives
(To keep our lives, to keep our lives, many things)
Lives going, so many things
(So many things, so many things, lives going)
[Verse 2]
We can be bound, run around
(We can be bound, we can be bound, run around)
Fooled animal bite it's tail
(Fooled animal, fooled animal bite it's tail)
Animal, he has been bound
(He has been bound, he has been bound, animal)
Run around, around and 'round
(Run around, round, run around, round, run around)
[Verse 1]
We need so damn many things
To keep our dazed lives going
Many things to keep our lives
(To keep our lives, to keep our lives, many things)
Lives going, so many things
(So many things, so many things, lives going)
Many things to keep our lives
Lives going, so many things
