well he must have his reasons

he must have a master plan

since he took away the seasons

and replaced the common man

with a face that never ages

lips that do not speak

a book with many pages

no one dares to peek



oh, he's righteous and just

in artie we trust

he knows it all

oh, what artie knows that we don't

artie does what we won't

artie knows it all



his ways are so mysterious

his manner can't be read

artie the enigma

knows he's better dead than read

and he watches over all the little children in his flock

atremus the little boy

the boy who couldn't talk



oh, he's righteous and just

in artie we trust

he knows it all

oh, what artie knows that we don't

artie does what we won't

artie knows it all

he knows it all

what artie knows that we don't

artie does what we won't

artie knows it all

he knows it all
