A turtle was swimming along a river when a scorpion showed up on the shore.
The scorpion asked the turtle "Turtle! I'm not a good swimmer. Can you carry me on your back across a river?"
'Are you crazy?" replied the turtle "You'll sting me while I'm swimming and I will drown."
"Oh, but you are wrong turtle." stated the scorpion, "if I were to sting you, and you drown, then I would drown too, you see?"
The turtle thought for a while, and saw the logic of the scorpion's words.
"You're right!" said at last the turtle. "Hop on!"
The scorpion jumped on his back, and halfway across the river, the scorpion gave the turtle a mighty sting.
As they both sank to the bottom, the turtle cried:
"You said there'd be no logic in your stinging me! Why did you do it?"
"It has nothing to do with logic," the drowning scorpion replied. "It's just my character."

Lyrics:
Educated by a recollection of scars
I've devoted all my life to an immersive pantomime
Caring only for myself, I'm taking care of all the enemies I have
I'm gonna build a city paved with asphyxia.
Funny thing, if I tell you that, in fact, I care.
I care too much of what they say
I care so much I've hurt my brain
I care too much of what they say,
I'll make them cry, they've hurt my brain.
Look at all those fools plotting schemes without a plan,
breathing half the days and nights and trusting me with all their lives,
but I care only for myself
I'm taking care of all the enemies I have
I'm gonna reign a kingdom paved with asphyxia
funny thing, if I tell you that, i fact, I care.
I care too much of what they say
I care so much I've hurt my brain
I care too much of what they say,
I'll make them cry, they've hurt my brain.
Can I jump into your back? Help me to cross the river.
But don't be surprised when I stab you with my poison knife.
I care too much of what they say
I care so much I've hurt my brain
I care too much of what they say,
I'll make them cry, they've hurt my brain.
I care too much of what they say
I care so much I've hurt my brain
I care too much of what they say
I care so much I've hurt my brain
I care too much of what they say,
I will make sure they die in pain
I may go down but they will burn.
