ICP’s still around? WTF?

Insane Clown Posse was a group that was wildly popular when I was in 8th grade or so (well over a decade ago, now). They were mostly popular because it was something our parents hated. Their songs were full of drug refrences, cursing and all manner of evil like that. They were kind of my town’s version of Ozzy Osbourne…or at least something close. Everyone listened to them, everyone’s parents hated them.

I stopped listening to them when I got to high school. I (as well as everyone else I knew) began to develop an intellect and started to develop something which resembled musical tastes. They fell off my radar, and I always assumed that they stopped making music.

I…uh, I was wrong.

We got a theory, see like, we got a theory about magic and miracles. That’s right…

If magic is all we ever known then it’s easy to miss what really goes on, but I have seen miracles in every way and it have seen miracles every day, Oceans expanding beyond my site, and a million stars way above em at night, we don’t have to be high to look in the sky, and know that is a miracle open wide. Look at the mountains trees the seven seas, and everything chillin’ under water please, hot lava, snow, rain and fog, long neck giraffes, pet cats and dogs. I have seen 85 thousand people all in one room together as equal, pure magic is the birth of my kids I’ve seen shit that shock your eyelids, the sun and the moon even mars the milky way fuckin shooting starts, ufos, a river flows, plant a little seed and nature grows, Niagara falls and the pyramids, everything you believed in as kids, fuckin rainbows after it rains, there’s enough miracles here to blow your brain, I fed a fish to a pelican and Frisco bay and he tried to eat my cell phone he ran away, and music is magic pure and clean you feel it you can hear it and it can’t be seen.
A
re you a believer in miracles? (Music it’s all magic, you can’t even hold it) Do you notice and recognize miracles? It’s just there in the air, are you a believer in miracles? (Pure motherfucking magic, this shit will blow your motherfucking mind.)

Music is a lot like love, it’s all a feeling and it feels the room from the floor to the ceiling, I’ve seen miracles all around me, stop and look around its all astounding, water, fire air and dirt, fucking magnets, how do they work? I don’t want to talk to a scientist, ya’ll motherfuckers lying and getting me pissed, solar eclipse and vicious weather, 15,000 Juggalos together and I love my mom for giving me this time on this planet, take nothing for granted, I seen a caterpillar turn into a butterfly, miracles aint nothing to lie, Shaggy’s little boys look just like Shaggy and my little boy looks just like daddy, miracles each and everywhere you look and nobody has to stay where they put, this world is yours for you to explore, it’s nothing but miracles beyond your doors, the dark carnival is your invitation, to witness that of there our explanation, take a look at this fine creation and enjoy it better with appreciation, crows ghosts, the midnight coasts, the wonders of the world, mysteries, the most. Just open your mind and in no way to ignore the miracles of everyday, that’s real.
Are you a believer in miracles? (Magic every in this bitch, it’s all around you and you don’t even know it.) Do you notice and recognize miracles? It’s just there in the air, are you a believer in miracles? (Pure motherfucking magic, this shit will blow your motherfucking mind.)

So I guess they’re shilling for creationism now? New-agey bullshit? Looking for a squeaky-clean public image while still maintaining their affinity for cursing? I mean, seriously. This is a band which once wrote a song about killing college kids and now they’re waxing poetic about butterflies? WTF?

Whatever’s happening here, these motherfuckers need to learn some basic motherfucking science. Nothing in that song could be construed as a miracle in any way, shape or form and can be explained by some fairly basic science. Of course, all scientists are evil lairs. Or something like that. So we can just dismiss what they say and pretend nothing can be explained.

I’m sooooooo glad I grew up.
