1. Dead by 1998
FORTY TO ONE THEY SAID TODAY, DEAD BY 1988.
HOW MUCH BULLSHIT CAN WE TAKE.
THE AIR WE BREATHE MAKES US SUFFOCATE.
STUPID, SADISTIC, SUICIDAL,
TAKING AIR FROM CANS, WATER FROM BOTTLES.
SEX BY MACHINES, VIDEO DREAMS.
NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION TO A MAN WHO SCREAMS.
DEAD, I’M DEAD, DEAD, I’M DEAD.
LOOK AROUND IT’S ALL DESTRUCTION
CALL TO CURE AIDS, POLITICAL CORRUPTION.
POISSON GAS, NUCLEAR WASTE,
BRAIN DEAD MASSES IN A MICROWAVE.
FIFTY MILLION PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME DISEASE.
PORNOGRAPHIC CHILDHOOD MEMORIES,
THEY FLUNKED THE TEST, FUCK THE REST,
PSYCHOPATIC INCEST, CHILD MOLEST.
DEAD, I’M DEAD, DEAD, I’M DEAD.
FIFTY MILLION PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME DISEASE.
PORNOGRAPHIC CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.
WITH NO REGRET, WE ARE THE DEATH, OF SOCOETIES
INSENSITIVE DECEIT.
DEAD!
2. Evil tears
EVIL TEARS, IN THE GARDEN, I AM WAITING, I AM WAITING,
FOOL’S GALLOWS, WHERE PURPLE TURNS TO RED,
AND GREEN TURNS TO ENVY.
PEOPLE OF PROFIT, BARAGAIN BIN SIN, STEALING HOMIE’S
LAST BREATH WITH THE BULLETS
YOU SPIN. EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE, BLACK, WHITE, BLUE
OR RED. BROTHER SAME COLOR
WHO’S NEXT TO DEAD? TRAPPED IN YOUR CRUSH GROOVE
RICH MAN’S LIE, RAINING DOWN
BULLETS
AS YOUR BABY BROTHER DIES. AND YOUR MOTHER SHE
CRIES;
EVIL TEARS, IN THE GARDEN, SHE IS CRYING, HE IS
DYING. AND YOUR MOTHER SHE
CRIES.
REJOICE MY FRIEND, YOUR BROTHER HE CAME BACK
AGAIN. NOT IN SPIRIT, BUT IN THE
FLESH, SUNK DEEP IN THE SHOOTER’S CHEST. THE BULLET
SPINS, HE WINS, YOU LOOSE,
NOW IT’S TIME TO PAY YOUR DUES.
YOU LAUGH, TRY TO DEFY THE CRACK THAT SPEND
YOUR LIFE.
SENDS YOUR LIFE SO FAR AWAY.
EVIL TEARS UPON MY FACE, REVENGE FOR MY BROTHER’S
FATE, ALL I HAVE LEFT TO DO IS
FINISH THE DEED UNTO YOU. DISSOLUTION, DESTITUTION,
DEGRADATION, JUST FUCKED YOUR
FATE.
YOU LAUGH, TRY TO DEFY THE CRACK THAT
SPENDS YOUR LIFE.
3. Spheres of glass
ROTATING SPHERE OF GLASS,
DREAMS ABOUND, LOOK INSIDE,
THE MAGIC CRYSTAL,
OF FLAWLESS ENERGY,
MULITICOLOURED RIVERS,
OF PULSATING LIGHT INSIDE
SEE IF YOU SURVIVE,
BROKEN PROMISES. NEVER MEANT TO KKEP INFECTION
IS GROWING
NO TEARS LEFT TO KEEP
LOOK BEYOND THE STARS, TO A SUNLIT SHINIG MOON,
INFECTION IS GROWING,
THE END IS COMING SOON!
ROTATING SPHERE OF GLASS,
DREAMS ABOUND, LOOK INSIDE,
THE MAGIC CRYSTAL,
IF FLAWLESS ENERGY,
MULTICOLOURED RIVERS,
OF PULSATING INSIDE,
SEE YOUR FUTURE,
SEE IF YOU SURVIVE,
SEE IF TOU SURVIVE!
4. Moving underground
I CAN FEEL THE SUNSHINE, CREEPING
THROUGH THE DOORWAY, WAITING FOR
ANSWER,
I WAS SLEEPING THROUGH THE STORM,
BEING GUIDED BY REASON,
I CAN FEEL THE FIRE, TOTAL CREMATION OF
THE PEOPLE.
A SELF IMPOSED INTERNMENT, DEEP
WITHIN A CLAY HOUSE. VITAL TRANSFORMATION,
RECLAMING ALL ABOVE, TEMPERED BY
CREATION, RISE ABOVE THE ASHES.
A BURNING
OF THE MASSES, ASCENDING FROM THE
ASHES.
REINCARNATION!
LOOKING UP INTO THE LIGHT, ANOTHER PIE IN THE EYE
FALLING FROM THE SKY, BUTTER
CRUSTED BULLSHIT ON YOUR FACE, YOU SLIP, YOU FALL IT
SEALS YOUR FATE,
SO GET UP NOW, PLEASE TRY AGAIN, BEFORE IT IS THE
END.
AND SO I TALK TO MYSELF, FOR THERE’S ONLY ME, NO
ONE ELSE,
AND COULD YOU PLEASE, POINT WHICH WAY TO
AMERICA. FOR I’M SLEEPING, DOWN TO
THE BOTTOM, OF THE CHAIN.
(TWO CARS IN EVERY GARAGE, A CHICKEN IN EVERY POT)
I KEEP TO MYSELF, 400 BULLETS, ON MY SHELL AND
COULD YOU LEASE TELL THE
PRESIDENT, I SAID I’M LOST, INSIDE THE AMERICAN
DREAM
SAY A PRAYER, FOR AMERICA!
5. The unvilling
SEARCHING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS, I CAME UPON A
CASTLE THERE, IT WAS STANDING
IN THE RAIN. BOLTED TO THE DOOR, THERE WAS A RING,
I KNOCKED THREE TIMES, THEY LET
ME IN, I WAS HOME AGAIN.
I KNEW THE JESTER, BY HIS WORN
OUT SHOES, I’D SEEN THE WIZARD’S
TONGUE OF
FLAME. AND THEN I DINED, WITH
MY QUEEN AND ALL HER COURT, I
TOLD A STORY TRUE.
TEN YEARS AGO I DREW MY SWORD,
HAD MY ARMOUR PAINTED WHITE,
THE CRUSADE
WAS JUST A GAME. WE KILLED
MANY AND MORE STILL CAME. WE
SEIZED THEIR CITIES
NOTHING CHANGED. WE SPILLED
THEIR BLOOD, IT WAS JUST AS RED AS
OURS, THE
MINSTREL PALEYD THE BLUES.
AND THEY WERE COUNTING ON ME, NOT TO LEAD THEM
TO A WASTED DESTINY. AND NOW
THEIR BLOOD IS ON MY HANDS, LIFELESS BODIES LYING
IN FORGOTTEN LANDS. THE SIN YOU
BEAR IS MINE, MY EYES WERE JUST TOO BLIND.
THE UNWILLING, SEND THE UNKNOWING TO DO
THEIR DIRTY WORK
AGAIN.
6. The distant
SOMEWHERE IN TIME
I KNOW I’LL FIND YOU
NEVER LOOK BEHIND
NO NEED TO REMIND YOU
SAIL TOWARD THE SUN
PALE BLUE PETAL DANCING WITH THE WIND
FOREVER ON THE RUN
TEASING SHADOW FLEEING FROM MY GRASP
YOU’RE STILL THE ONE, YOU’RE STILL THE ONE
YOU’RE STILL THE ONE, THE ONE THAT I’VE
BEEN SEARCHING FOR.
FOREVER ON MY MIND
YOU KNOW I NEED YOU
SOLEMN DREAM OF MINE
THE CHAINS THEY DON’T BIND YOU
SAILING TOWARDS THE SUN
PALE BLUE PETAL DANCING WITH THE WIND
FOREVER ON THE RUN
TEASING SHADOW FLEEING FROM MY GRASP
7. Beaten path
IN THE MORNING WHEN THE SUN SHINES
AND YOUR FACE IS ALL AGLOW
IT MAKES ME SAD THAT I HAVE TO LEAVE
I HAVE TO GO
DOWN THAT BEATEN PATH
DOWN THAT BEATEN PATH
BUT I’LL BE BACK
TO HAVE YOUR LOVE AGAIN
TAX EVADE, MEDIATOR
KAMA SUTRA LOVE MACHINE
MANIPULATOR YOUR STILL THE GIRL
OF MY DREAMS
JUST AN ELEVATOR OPERATOR WANTING
TO GO DOWN FOR YOU
CHASING AWAY THE GHOST OF THE PAST
I KNOW THIS LOVE WILL LAST
DOWN THAT BEATEN PATH
WE WALK UNBOUND INTO THE
CITY
I PAVE MY WAY INTO THE CITY
DOWN THAT BEATEN PATH
BUT I’LL BE BACK
TO HAVE YOUR LOVE AGAIN
I’LL BE BACK
8. Overshadowed
I REMEMBER LONG AGO, WHEN
THE RIVER IT OVERFLOWED. OF
LOVE, WE HAD ENOUGH, TO
MAKE IT TO SHORE, AND I SAW
THE WARNING I CAN’T IGNORE, NO
I CAN’T IGNORE, I SAW
THE WARNING LIGHTS, OF THE
UNREACHABLE SHORE.
ALONE IN YOUR HOUR OF NEED.
TEARS IN YOUR EYES ARE BLEEDING.
THE MOUNTAINS ARE ALL TO SLEEP.
MEMORIES I LEFT BEHIND, LIKE A SEA OF MADNESS IN
MY MIND, THIS FEELING I MUST
HIDE, IGNORE THE PAIN AND KEEP IT ALL INSIDE, I HOLD
MYSELF DENIED, THE FIRE, THE
FIRE OF FEAR WILL BURN THROUGH MY DISGUISE.
ALONE IN YOUR HOUR OF NEED.
TEARS IN YOUR EYES ARE BLEEDING
THE MOUNTAINS ARE ALL TO SLEEP.
DAY BY DAY, I WATCH LIFE GO BY.
ALONE IN YOUR HOUR OF NEED.
TEARS IN YOUR EYES ARE BLEEDING
THE MOUNTAINS ARE ALL TO SLEEP.
9. Kill 'em
A POLITICAL SOLUTION
TO MIND CONTROL POLLUTION
TAKE THE MEN IN GREY
PUT THEM ALL AWAY
WE DON’T NEED A COVENANT
TO RIP APART THIS GOVERNMENT
A TWISTED INSTITUTION
BUILT ON REVOLUTION
SLOWLY TAKE YOUR LIFE AWAY
WHEN THEY GO TO THE BANK TO PRAY
MONEY IS THEIR HOLY ONE
IF THEY COULD THEY’D SELL THE SUN
WE DON’T NEED THE PRESIDENT
THIS TRUTH IS SELF EVIDENT
SEPARATE THE STATES
DO IT NOW DON’T WAIT
DOES WHAT I SAY MAKE ANY SENSE
LISTEN UP AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE
EXPEL THEM FROM THEIR SEATS OF POWER
GIVE THEM ALL A HOT LEAD SHOWER
10. Moon turns the tides
HOORAY I AWAKE FROM YESTERDAY, ALIVE BUT THE WAR IS HERE TO STAY, SOON MY
LOVE, CATHERINA AND ME, DESIRE TO TAKE THE LAST WALK FROM THE NOISE TO THE SEA,
NOT TO DIE BUT TO BE REBORN AWAY FROM THE LAND SO BATTERED AND TORN, FOR EARTH,
FOR MOTHER EARTH.
OH SAY CAN YOU SEE IT’S REALLY SUCH A MESS, EVERY INCH OF EARTH IS A FIGHTING
MESS, GIANT PENCIL AND LIPSTICK TUBE SHAPED THINGS, CONTINUE TO RAIN, AND CAUSE
SCREAMS AND PAIN, AND THE ARCTIC STAINS, FROM SILVER BLUE TO BLOODY RED, AS MY
FEET FIND THE SAND, AND THE SEA, IS STRIGHT AHEAD.
WELL IT’S TO BAD, THAT OUR FRIENDS, CAN’T BE WITH US TODAY, WELL IT’S TO BAD, THE
MACHINE, THAT WE BUILT, WILL NEVER SAVE US, THAT’S WHAT THE SAY, THAT’S WHY
THEY AIN’T COMING, WITH US TODAY, THEY ALSO SAID, IT’S IMPOSSIBLE, FOR A MAN, TO
LIVE AND BREATH UNDERWATER, “FOREVER”, WAS THEIR MAIN COMPLAINT, AND THEY
ALSO THREW THIS IN MY FACE, THEY SAID, WELL ANYWAY, YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL, IT
WOULD BE BEYOND THE WILL OF GOD, AND THE GRACE OF THE KING, IT’S A LOVE THING.
SO MY DARLING AND I, MAKE LOVE IN THE SAND, TO SALUTE THE LAST WALK FOREVER ON
DRY LAND. OUR MACHINE HAS DONE IT’S WORK, PLAYED IT’S PART WELL, WITHOUT A
SCRATCH ON OUR BODIES, WE MAY BID FAREWELL, STARFISH AND GIANT FLUMES GREET US
WITH A SMILE BEFORE OUR HEADS GO UNDER WE TAKE A LAST LOOK, AT THE KILLING
FORCE, OF THE OUT OF STYLE.
DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN WE GO, HURRY MY DARLING WE MUSTN’T BE LATE, FOR THE
SHOW, NEPTUNE CHAMPION GAMES TO AN AQUA WORLD IS SO VERY NEAR, RIGHT THIS
WAY SMILES A MERMAID I CAN SEE ATLANTIS FULL OF CHEER.
