if you haven't got a plan
for the end of the world
then you better get one soon
better than being burned
their chemicals are tuned to strip away the skin
the buster-bunker bombs don't let anyone live
and if they do, boots on the ground will finish you
they're coming
when the apocalypse hits
will you be at the end
of the world without a plan?
or the earth down under, bunkerland
their gas is tested on kids born the colour wrong
the president has fled, he's in a kiwi shed
and just like him, boots on the ground will finish you
they're coming
repeating everything from before
repeating everything from before

Kleptomania/Precariat

might as well have nothing, precariat
if i had a choice to live or slave in your mines and die
oh, which to choose?
capital relies upon my willingness to stay upright and not fight
kleptomania or dystopia
kleptomania or dystopia
if you don't pay what we need you could blame the economy
but it's your greed
the utility of a scrap is more for one that calls it like it is than a trap
kleptomania or dystopia
kleptomania or dystopia
might as well have nothing, precariat

i wonder what it is messing with my head
circling it in red, i wonder what it said
wonder what it is messing with my dead
i told it to the feds, i wonder what it said
i can only trust the truth is out there
it wants the lord's prayer read out in times square
they heard the good word, they want to join Earth
and spread the rebirth
wait a second now… i don't think that's right
i don't think that's why
they're messing with my head
i might have misread what the angels said
when they got ahead
i can only trust the truth is out there
panspermia's here, jaffas among men
they heard the good word, they want to join Earth
and spread the rebirth
wait a second now… i don't think that's right
i don't think that's why
i guess we'll never know just what they really want
and what they're ready for and who they want to kill
just what they really want and what they're dying for
and who they want to thrill
i wonder what it is messing with my head
circling it in red, i wonder what it said
i wonder what it is messing with my dead
i told it to the feds, i wonder what it said
i can only trust the truth is out there
panspermia's here jaffas among men
the only word is WOW!

Not Evil Enough

is the old party coming back?
are we stuck and forever judith?
what to do, to win the back the middle
could it be, could it be you?
could it be, could it be me?
could it be, could it be, could it be, could it be,
couldn't be me
'cause you can't win me over with
promises that i'll be the leader
it takes more than that - i'm just not that evil
look among your ranks and weep
you are stuck and forever whining
about the poor; like you, they don't pay tax
could it be, could it be you?
could it be, could it be me?
could it be, could it be, could it be, could it be,
it couldn't be me
we know one day you will be back
no, you can't keep down good liars
what to do, to win the back the middle
could it be, could it be you?
could it be, could it be me?
could it be, could it be, could it be, could it be,
it couldn't be me
i'm not evil enough, OK?

Utopia

i'm so bored of reading the words of
property speculators they are the real traitors of
the social contract the one that has your back
of what it means to be part of society
the more i want you, the less i have you
utopia
the more i want you, the less i have you
utopia
encultration, the affirmation
of what it means to be part of society these days
information, a revelation
it should not be a crime to walk across the line
the more i want you, the less i have you
utopia
the more i want you, the less i have you
utopia
look in the back to see barristers on their knees
and bowing to the incumbency
lock on their evil eyes, see past the easy lies
but don't go so far as david icke
i'm so bored of hearing the words of
unsigned musicians of the western suburbs of auckland
heavy metal, hansel and gretel
i won't eat you alive just yet, i can survive
the more i want you, the less i have you
utopia
the more i want you, the less i have you
utopia
look in the back to see barristers on thier knees
and bowing to the incumbency
lock on their evil eyes, see past the easy lies
but don't go so far as david icke

we've tried with history, got burned with mystery
our facts were binned as lies, authority compromised
we've got to part the sea, short of lobotomy
turn off this comedy and not demoralize
it doesn't have to be like that
it doesn't have to look like that
it doesn't have to be, they could be history
if we could convince everyone and everyone is not too dumb
then we could win
try tweeting out a link, and printing wads of ink
i'll facebook everyone, i went to high school with
this plan, it cannot fail - i've fought them tooth and nail
i wish they had no guns, my teeth were such a fail
it doesn't have to be like that
it doesn't have to look like that
it doesn't have to be, it could be history
if we could convince everyone and everyone is not too dumb
then we could win, but i doubt it
we could win, but i doubt it
it doesn't have to be like that
it doesn't have to look like that
it doesn't have to be, it could be history
if we could convince everyone and everyone is not too dumb
then we could win

Your Lizard Mouth
02:29

look in it, the chemical unit
the message is so clear
your baby and everyone, maybe
army, navy, the cashier
if you're so special why don't you
start a cult or maybe two, I
like a choice of poison
if you're charismatic too
start an offshore trust or two, just
keep your options open
shut your lizard mouth
embedded, unbilically threaded
the message is so clear
maxim-A, Mukukov and maybe
your baby, the frontier
my lizard brain is unique and i
object in the strongest terms and i
find fault in the science of the world
and i have not ever heard of you
if you're so special why don't you start a cult or maybe two
i like a choice of poison
if you're charismatic too start an offshore trust or two
just keep your options open
shut your lizard mouth
if you're so special why don't you start a cult or maybe two
i like a choice of poison
if you're charismatic too start an offshore trust or two
just keep your options open
and shut your lizard mouth

No Hullabaloo
02:19
|

|
this time 10 years ago, in the baby afterglow
said i love you, love you
but if we want to do a big song and dance and sho-ow
well i don't know, don't know
we're yet to buy a house, i don't want to buy a spouse
'cause i love you, love you
for the price of getting hitched we could play at being rich
at a life we can't reach
why don't we just get a room
sign the papers, follow through
there's no need to overdo
no hullabaloo
we could invite … no one
sign the documents and run
just like brad and angelina
prove that i'm a keeper
it isn't money that keeps us alive
though it's nice to have, i recognise
no more hullabaloo
why don't we just get a room
sign the papers, follow through
there's no need to overdo
no more hullabaloo

so you want to fix what you've fucked in the past
and don't want to look like you're coming last
what about not sucking from the very start?
your views are incompatible with the future
you were wrong, you were wrong
it's too late to forgive when our seas are dead
the comfort you've had we can't comprehend
the hypocrisy of your collective end
your views are incompatible with the future
and if you don't care?
then why are you here?
and if you don't mind
then why do you find
a pleasure in being the worst?
you were wrong, you were wrong
stop sucking from the very start
your views are incompatible with the future

that's not how it ever was,
that's not how it's meant to be
not now, not ever
memories are meant to be
truth as real as what i see
but now it's never
mandela, mandela, mandela
eyes were windows to the soul
but they're basically black holes
escaping? nothing
memories are meant to be
truth as real as what i see
but now it's never, forever-ever

Heartbeat Factory

in the factory
we fabricate life expectancy
to put together a heart
it takes more than just the parts
so if you want it to be really human, you see
it takes more than a brain if you want it profane
but if you want it to i can make it true
just don't expect it to be what you wanted from me
the heartbeat factory
make it tick and tock
if it won't start then give it a shock
and don't you ever forget
the message of this vignette
so if you want it to be really human, you see
if you don't have a mind you'll be left behind
but if you want it that way i can make it, okay
just don't expect it to be what you wanted from me
the heartbeat factory
take one good heart, one good mind
and what more could you ask for
take one good heart, one good mind
and what more could you ask for
