The web is a trap
Like the spider's web is a trap for flies
Also, the lovely embroideries are
Worn by women as traps for
Men from a certain point of view

From a certain point of view
And I want to consider the web
As something playful
You see there are so many
Ways of looking at it
And you will find that all
These ways are right
But what we need is the fullness of the view
From a certain point of view of the view
From a certain point of view

The web is a trap
Like the spider's web is a trap for flies
Also, the lovely embroideries are worn
By women as traps
For men from a certain point of view
From a certain point of view
And I want to consider the
Web as something playful
You see there are so many
Ways of looking at it
And you will find that all
These ways are right
But what we need is the fullness of the view
From a certain point of view of the view
From a certain point of view

What we need is the fullness of the view
From a certain point of view
From a certain point of view
What we need is the fullness of the view
From a certain point of view
From a certain point of view
What we need is the fullness of the view
From a certain point of view
From a certain point of view
What we need is the fullness of the view
From a certain point of view
From a certain point of view

There are people for example who can
See the web as a trap
And get stuck with that
There are people to whom
Existence is simply hateful
They see it as nothing but a ghastly mistake
The Lord really erred when
He created this world
Because he arranged it in such a way
That everything lives by
Eating something else
And what I'm doing is I'm describing
A certain point of view
(From a certain point of view)
I'm not exactly philosophizing
I'm describing a point of view
You can look at life in such a way
That the whole thing is this ghastly mistake
For example, there's no such thing as
Genuine kindness or love
Everybody is really pretending that they
Are loving other people
In order to get some advantage from it
And indeed there's a point of view which
Occurs in certain forms of paranoia
Where people who don't seem to
Be real they are mechanisms
And you can think that out quite intensely
With a good deal of intelligence
After all if you start from a
Good old Darwinian or Freudian basis
And see that man is a material machine
And that the consciousness of man is simply a
Very evolved and complicated
Form of chemistry
Well then these awful mechanical things
These Frankenstein's that everybody is
They come around and they say
"Well I'm alive, I'm a human being, I have a
Heart i love, I hate, I have problems
I feel" and you feel like saying
"Come off it
You're just a monster and you put
On the civilized act because really
You're just a set of teeth on
The end of a tube"

What we need is the fullness of the view
From a certain point of view
From a certain point of view
What we need is the fullness of the view
From a certain point of view
From a certain point of view
What we need is the fullness of the view
From a certain point of view
From a certain point of view
What we need is the fullness of the view
From a certain point of view
From a certain point of view
And you've got a ganglion behind those teeth
Which you call your brain and
Your so alleged mind
And this thing is really basically
There for two purposes
One to be cunning enough to get something
To eat to put down the tube
And the other, you know what, Mr freud libido
And everything else you see can be
Construed as an elaborate subtle way
Of pretending that that's not really
What you want to do, but you do
But you put on a great show
Now some people according to this
View get mixed up, they are so repressed
That what they really want to do
Is to eat and to screw
They get involved in higher things that
Are the masks for these activities
And think that that's the
Real purpose of life
And then they become what's called neurotic

Because they get involved in
Being pure camouflage
That's what’s called escaping from the facts
Not looking at life
Not looking at reality correctly
