Who should we please?
Who’s to believe?
Who should we change for?
Who could we be?
When my race is done, how did I run?
Did I par the course and pass the baton on?
Vote with your feet
Make company
Form a military of peace and kill the king
Be a citizen of planet earth
Be a bigger man or woman ‘cause we all can change
Change
Change
Change for its own sake
Uniformity gave me a belly ache
I want a mutiny
My mind is awake finally
Who could we be given equal opportunity?
What could we see given equal chance to actually see change?
Change
Change
Is this what we consider changing for the better?
Maybe
Is this what we consider changing?
Ah, save me
Is this what we consider changing for the better?
Maybe
Is this what we consider changing?
I’m changing
I’m changing
Is this what we consider changing for the better?
Maybe
Is this what we consider changing?
Change
Is this what we consider changing?
I’m changing
I’m changing
Is this what we consider changing?
We’re changing pace
Higher stakes
So called heroes wearing fake capes
Critically acclaimed
Clinically deranged
Push the buttons
Keep on frontin’ ‘til they hear the thumpin
Somethings coming up the hallway out of the left field lane
Hey
My stomachs turning from the vermin up-skirt observing power hungry
Tryna draw the curtains from the public person but there ain’t no slicker villain thats deserving a serving on the killing floor
Put ‘em on the chopping board for all to see
I’m like a sniper hiding in the tower
I’m picking them off one by one
Gateway drug to the only solution
Cutting out their tongues before they jump the gun
I’m the like the cupid trying bring the love but you keep getting out of my range
No strings on my bow with broken arrows
Running low on ammo to make a change
Buildings that you know
People come and go
Are a certain way
Always are the same
And then you get the news that obliterates your view
Amputate your truths
The significance has changed
Hospital inane
Meaningless and grey
But lie within the walls and the significance will change
What would it take for us to change the game?
Maybe our existence is significance in vain
The significance has changed
Maybe our existence is significance in vain
Buildings that you know
People come and go
Are a certain way
Always are the same
And then you get the news that obliterates your view
Amputate your truths
The significance has changed
Hospital inane
Meaningless and grey
But lie within the walls and the significance will change
What would it take for us to change the game?
Maybe our existence is significance in vain
What would it take to build an ark for me and my friends?
Escape this old place with all that creeps and fish in the sea
And all that flies and all the bugs inside of me
Take all the good things and leave the human beings
Da da da da da da da da da
Burnin’ up
Burnin’ up
Burnin’ up
Burnin’ up now

Hate Dancin'
03:16

I still hate dancing
Oh I still hate dancing
I still hate dancing
Oh I still hate dancing
Whatever you say
Whatever you don’t say
Whatever you say to me wont sway me
She’s coming straight for me
The worlds frozen
I’m sweating
I still hate dancing
Oh I still hate dancing
I still hate dancing
Oh I still hate dancing
Slow-mo at the disco and she’s putting out her hand to tango
Oh no!
Her hips are too close for comfort
Now I’m losing control of myself
What the hell is coming over me right now
I feel like I’m about to freak out from the waist down
No more caring about what other people think
Let ‘em kick up a stink
I might like dancing
Oh I might like dancing
I might like dancing
Oh I might like dancing
Whatever you say
Whatever you don’t say
Whatever you say to me is gonna swing me
I was just joking
I love it
I was just kidding
I love it
I feel like dancing
Oh I feel like dancing
I feel like dancing
Oh I feel like dancing
I feel like dancing
Oh I feel like dancing
I feel like dancing
Oh I feel like dancing
I feel like dancing
Oh I feel like dancing
I feel like dancing
Oh I feel like dancing

Astroturf
07:33

Everything’s dead here
Covered with plastic
Everything’s fluro
Evergreen matter
Gotta stop grass growin’
Cover that wormhole
Gotta stop birds from shitting on my lawn
When it don’t matter everything’s better
Throwaway plates are better for business
Everything’s easy
Better for the earth is astroturf
Six butterflies fluttered by
Looked horrified
“I just hatched from chrysalis
I’ve only hours, 36
I need a mate to do my biz and this is where I will die
Heartbreaking way to end
I will cry on astroturf”
Suitable texture
Suitable colour
Miniature forest
Better than nature
Makes me feel better knowing I won’t go out on my lawn and see an animal
Everything’s sterile
Even infertile
Proud of my monster
It’s never been straighter
Dog shit heaven
Better than the earth
It's astroturf
Six butterflies fluttered by
Looked horrified
“I just hatched from chrysalis
I’ve only hours, 36
I need a mate to do my biz and this is where I will die
Heartbreaking way to end
I will cry on astroturf”
Astroturfing
Astroturfing
Astroturfing...
Better than the earth is astroturf
Six butterflies fluttered by
Looked horrified
“I just hatched from chrysalis
I’ve only hours, 36
I need a mate to do my biz and this is where I will die
Heartbreaking way to end
I will cry on astroturf”

No Body
03:42
|

I floated up and for the first time I could relax and unplug
My friend, it felt good
To shuffle off this mortal coil
To rise like oil in water
To be not real
To have no soul
To have no body
I woke to an eye-adjusting fright
Baptised in the light and found myself in purgatory white
Dead again in the void
What was the lesson, God?
No, no, no, no body
Are you real or not?
No, no, no, no body
In death I know life was a hallucination

Gondii

Human being domesticated
Gondii’s in the amygdala
Human being contaminated
Living-murdered feline worshiper
What it feels like is it feels like it’s dreamlike
Can’t get a message to my brain
I can’t control myself
Can’t get a message to my brain
I can’t control myself anymore
What it feels like is it feels like it’s dreamlike
Human being manipulated
Gondii drizzles serotonin
Human being lubricated
Drowning in oxytocin
Can’t get a message to my brain
I can’t control myself
Can’t get a message to my brain
I can’t control myself anymore
I’ve got oocysts inside my head
I can’t control myself
Can’t get a message to my brain
I can’t control myself anymore
So am I the bird or am I the worm?
Do have I free will?
Do have I free thought?
Am I the chicken or am I the egg
Have I liberty?
Have I my wings?
You shouldn’t fight it or deny it
Just breathe in and embrace it
Symbiotic Gondii choir sings a song of fuzzy minds
So am I the dog or am I the cat?
No, it’s neither one
I am the rat
Can’t get a message to my brain
I can’t control myself
Can’t get a message to my brain
I can’t control myself anymore
I’ve got oocysts inside my head
I can’t control myself
Can’t get a message to my brain
I can’t control myself

Exploding Suns
04:40

Exploding golden sun
Bursting radiation
Get on your feet and run for the shelter
A change is gonna come
8 minutes and 20 seconds
Over before begun
And all that was green is fire and dust
And all that was blue has dried up
And all that we knew has dropped off the edge of waterfalls
What’s after Armageddon?
Giant star
A thousand tears
Liquid moon
A billion years
Music of the brightest spheres
A gong for remodelled frontiers
Vibrates like the string of time
Dissonant storyline
The past and future intertwine
The sun explodes at any time
Exploding sun erupts
Causing deadly destruction
The time has come
Redux
Final endgame
A burning fireball
No more white dwarf
Our sins to be absolved
And all that was green is fire and dust
And all that was blue has dried up
And all that we knew dropped off of the edge of waterfalls
What’s after Armageddon?
Giant star
A thousand tears
Liquid moon
A billion years
Music of the brightest spheres
A gong for remodelled frontiers
Vibrates like the string of time
Dissonant storyline
The past and future intertwine
The sun explodes at any time
The sun explodes at any time…

Did I par the course and pass the baton on?
