The secret buzzing greenscape of the outskirts of the town
Lay in breathy anticipation of the storm.
The birch swayed as it was drunk, too drunk to care
Too drunk and desolate to even be irate, to care about anything at all.
The love stashed in the warm brown soil in the outskirts of the town
Had hidden from the ravages of men.
Its bleeding blood and dreams of roads not taken
Through teary tears forgiven not to ever be seen again.
All the birds are missing from the outskirts of the town
They didn't know where north lay anymore.
They flew where the wind would take them, but the wind forsake them,
None of them are with us anymore.
There was one figure standing there, in the outskirts of the town,
At daybreak they could see what nothing left, and nothing yet to come.
They felt the voltage on their neck, the storm was drawing near,
There will be nothing nothing when it finally is here.

Put it in first
Pump the pedal
Your future is
Right around the bend
Slowly first
But'ya gotta keep pushing
Don't worry you'll
Get there in the end
Now switch to second
Careful with the clutch
You gotta keep momentum
Right until it's time to rest (Keep it up)
You gotta keep on pushing
But the stars seem mighty bright
Through my windshield
Tonight
Push it to third
Now here's a good boy (yes you are)
I know the going is rough
But I promise it's worth it
Just imagine
A place where we don't need
To keep on pushing anymore
To keep on going on and on and on and on
What am I?! You're a good boy.
Am I obsolete? You're a good boy.
Am I a fake? You're a good boy.
Am I a good boy? You're a good boy.
What am I?! You're a good boy.
Am I professional? You're a good boy.
Am I proletariat? You're a good boy.
Am I a good girl? You're a good boy.
What am I?! You're a good boy.
Am I responsible? You're a good boy.
Am I carbon neutral? You're a good boy.
Am I a good girl? You're a good boy.
What am I?! You're a good boy.
Am I too late? You're a good boy.
Am I still sane? You're a good boy.
Am I a good boy? You're a good boy.
Am I a good girl? You're a good boy.
Am I probiotic?
Am I cybertronic?
How will I pay my rent?
Am I polyphonic?
Am I ergonomic?
Am I better off dead?
Am I cruelty-free?
Am I forgiven?
Am I an ally?
Am I a good girl?

Bad News
04:49

No, no!
I won't take you to my leaders!
They ain't do nothing but they lying
Back when they were all folks dying
They said nothing but that we were better
Than we ever was before.
They said it will always be getting better
Back when they destroyed the weather
Now there's nothing left to eat or drink
But for their machines of war
They're bad news, bad news.
They be hell bent on destruction
Burning oil, gas liquefaction
Of the assets and the atmosphere now
People cannot breathe no more
They poison everything they touch
Matches playing with each other
All the peoples get's to suffer
Burning from the troposphere to core.
They're bad news, bad news
So no,
I won't take you to my leaders!
Spreading lies, misinformation,
Virus loads, discord, division,
Turning everyone to snitches
There be no trust anymore
Turned compassion to a swear word
I turned my back on so much pain, Lord
So much pain, man, so much pain
I just can't take it all no more
They're bad news, bad news
So you wanna go and see'em
But even if you reach agreement
It'll last until your back is turned
Like they always done before
Listen to me you'll do better
Steering clear from this
diseased and poisoned, rot infested,
Bartered, traded, immolated,
burning, turning, hurting
And despairing, dying, crying,
Horrifying wreck that once was called
A human world.
They're bad news, bad news

For a Fee
06:40
|

Hey, do you want some air or water
Want to be able to move or talk
I can get that happening for you, honey
For a fee, that's the way we work.
Do you want to dance, to sing, to play,
to be free like a child in the moonlight?
There is nothing to it baby,
If you got the money, we can talk.
Oh, Don't be so oppressed
Oh, Pick yourself up by the bootstraps
Oh, Take my invisible hand
Oh, I will make you a self made man
Oh, For a fee.
Hey, do you want to meet hot drones in your area
Get you a footy club, get you a police force
Live forever, live like a king, or live at all
We got all the options, for every pocket
Do you wanna drag them through the mud
Set the window for mankind
Do you want to make the world in your image
If you want your space, we can get you the rocket
Oh, Don't be so oppressed
Oh, Pick yourself up by the bootstraps
Oh, Take my invisible hand
Oh, I'll make you a self made man
Oh, a crazy lone gunman
Green extinction
Clean disaster
Harmony and understanding
Oh, we got to stoke the soul furnace
With inferior races
Build military bases
Shoot mace in their faces
Happy, balanced disparity, despair.
Pride colored stealth bomber
Repeat the big lie, Repeat the big lie. Repeat the big -
Repeat the big lie, Repeat the big lie. Repeat the big -
Repeat the big lie, Repeat the big lie. Repeat the big -
Repeat the big lie, Repeat the big lie. Repeat the big -
Repeat the big lie, Repeat the big lie. Repeat the big -
Repeat the big lie, Repeat the big -
Union busting makes me feel good!
Oh, Don't be so oppressed
Oh, Pick yourself up by the bootstraps
Oh, Take my invisible hand
Oh, I'll make you a self made man
Oh, Don't be so oppressed
Oh, Pick yourself up by the bootstraps
Oh, Take my invisible hand
Oh, I'll make you a self made man
Oh, oh yeah, For a fee.
Oh yeah, for a fee.
Oh yeah.

Paper and Glass

Paper and glass.
How will we outlast
Our sins of the past.
Ceramic and stone.
When we are all gone
Will I be alone?
In the cold and the dark,
Is there an ark?
Will there still be a spark?
Steel and concrete.
Under two hundred feet.
Waiting for the death of the heat.
Plastic and wood.
We knew that we should.
Time will tell if we would.
In the cold and the dark,
Is there an ark?
Will there still be a spark of life?
Just, just stop.

Some Weird Reason
07:32
|

She
Don't trust the wind
The wind reveals her imperfections.
She
Trusts only birds
They live their lives, the way they want it.
She hates the world,
She hates it all,
But for some weird reason
She fell in love with me.
She
Is mortal enemies
With the coffee machine. It drinks too much
She
Hates human kind
They never do, just what she wanted
She hates the world,
She hates it all,
But for some weird reason
She fell in love with me.
And when a cloud comes, she says
The sun will never come again
It's not a fluke, she says,
It always does it especially to her
Some weird reason
Some weird reason
Some weird reason
Some weird reason
Some weird reason
Some weird reason
She fell in love with me
She fell in love with me
She fell in lock with fucking me

The Star
06:36
|

We came upon a world enshrouded
A burning field of arrogance and pain.
We talked with you, our friend, and now decided
That we cannot go and leave you, standing in the rain.
Now the clouds all gather
And the wind roars
Now the ocean rises
And the wheat is almost gone
But in the shroud of darkness
There's a star that shines of hope
It's shining high to remind us
We will never let you drop.
We came upon a world divided.
A battlefield of commerce and disgrace.
We listened to your pain, dear friend, and we're reminded
Of how we struggled too, way back when...
When the clouds all gathered
And the wind roared
When a better world struggled
To be born
Now in the shroud of darkness
There's a star that shines for you
It's shining high to remind you
That no matter what you do
We'll be floating up above you
Always up there as a sign
That a morning soon is coming
For everyone.
