i never second-guess fate, nothing can ever be late
if it was meant to be at all
we are the lucky ones now, no thermonuclear cloud will
put an end to this cannonball
whatever will be, will be; it's out of our hands, you see
was it in ever at all?
we are the lucky ones now, no hyper-capitalist society
can put an end to this free-for-all

Agenda 21
03:00
|
|||
someone has to die so that another can live
and you do not belong, you do not belong here
it's become your home yet you keep killing your hosts
and you do not belong, you do not belong here
i heard the new order says it's here to cover
up the fact we're here to kill off everyone else
then it doesn't matter whatever your colour
we're the same, i get it now, i want to get out
and stay alive, no matter what the experts say is right
and stay alive, no matter what agenda 21
don't fall for that alright
don't fall for that white lie
what if we made the world a better place to live?
for no reason at all, for no reason at all
what a poisonous thought, treasonous to be kind
and it does not belong, it does not belong here
control all the people, hypodermic needle
immune to the brainwashing that took out the enfeeble
i have no agenda, number or a letter
i just want the others to be treated the same
and stay alive, no matter what the experts say is right
and stay alive, no matter what agenda 21
don't fall for that alright
don't fall for that white lie

The Effing News
03:50
|
|||
now listen
if i was just a puppet, with strings around my fingers
just typing out the message the lizards want you hearing
then why do they complain so much ado about the nothing?
it's like i can write what i want with no one listening
it's nothing you want to know
we're tracking what you view
what's happening in your world
it's just the effing news
you don't want to be informed
you want "reality"
don't say you haven't been warned
that nothing comes for free
that's the enemy
that's the effing news, you see
my bosses
they didn't like the first verse, they wanted you to know that
they have an iron fist on my writing like an autocrat
they only let me write it to plausibly deny it
and fire me and scapegoat me and call it fake news
whatever you wanna hear, it's bound to be out there
whatever you wanna hear, it's bound to be out there
whatever you wanna hear, it's bound to be out there
this is the effing news

Timezones

what can we do, are these our lives from here?
timezone apart, how can i sync with your ghost
we pass in the night, minds on different planes
but as i'm coming up…
you're coming down
nothing will get you up
where we are now
where we are now
there seems no escape from the tyranny of time
always too long to wait for anything
i get up at 4, you get home at eight and clear your mind with tv
i fix mine with empty rules
nothing will bring me down
where we are now
where we are now
in time

where's the map? I need a map to know
just where i've been and where i am
where's the app? i need an app to know
who i'm closest to and who they are
where's the code? i need a code to know
if i've got the virus
where's my neighbour been? i don't know their name
i need to know now
who are you? you take your air back
i don't wanna be breath friends
what the fuck, what do you mean it's like the flu?
hey! don't say that to my face
it's 2021, it ain't time to have fun
can you wait until twenty-two?
t-wenty-two
2020, it sucked the kumura
but 2021 is worse
22, i'm gonna make a call
it won't matter one bit
don't say that to my face
it's 2021, it ain't time to have fun
can you wait until twenty-two?
it's 2021, it ain't time to have fun

time will kill us all
and in the end i don't want to die alone in space
far away from here there is a line we can cross
into new dimensions of time
and so quantum physics saved our lives
from the end of the universe
death will stay at home
and in the end we will live on as what we emerged from
neutrons, they can't decide just which state they're in
itching back and forth forever

ABQ (You're on Your Own)
04:24
|

we come in peace and
and from the stars above, we call off
the rolling dice and cars and pull off
the plaster cast and say
you're on your own
you're on your own
i say, you're on your own now
we don't want to be the ones
a faulty hologram
vibrations of a string in 10D
brains in a high school lab in albuquerque
or in the outer reaches of our world, no
you're on your own
i say, you're on your own now
we don't want to be the one
to find you, now
to hunt you down
don't want to catch you, oh no
we don't want to be the ones
to find you, now
to hunt you down
don't want to catch you, oh no
we don't want to be the ones
you're on your own
you're on your own
i say, you're on your own now
we don't want to be the ones

Billionaires
03:36
|

you won't change the world by living from paycheck to check
we're living in a billionaire's dream
without money you are held back
illuminati, they haven't got a thing on elon and jeff amazon
hermetic order, they haven't got a thing on bill gates and siblings walton
you won't ever see them living in a shotgun shack
their wealth only goes up
no matter how bad things get
the bilderbergers, they haven't got a thing on larrys page and ellison
the mafia don, he hasn't got a thing on all the mark zuckerberg clones

we've got the big guns, stocked up for big fun
ballistic and guided, traditional and nukes
they're pointed at your wives, kids, pets and your lives
there's no escape forbid, a human error fluke
and now just as it was before
the best move's not to play
if we get lazy, in case of crazy
it might be wise to consult a baby
now they might not say too much, and demand such and such
but they will spew more sense than you are making
and now just as it was before
the best move's not to play
and now just as it was before
the best move's not to play
i've got you in my sight, right back at you, comrade
and what about the world? it's not on my list
and now just as it was before
the best move's not to play

i don’t know what i’m doing
i’ve never read a journal on climate science before
all that i know i know from reading wishart and bellamy
don’t show me the door
i heard they hid the decline
and that was good enough for me and my backward advice
i heard they used a trick, they used a trick, they used a trick
to hide what they thought were Gaia’s white lies
i know i’m just a guy but they think they know better
and we’re no better than you
we’re no better than you
i’ve never worn a white coat
or learned the difference between mean, mode and median
still i feel i’m qualified
they’ve never been, never been, never been in a real job
argument over
i know i’m just a guy but they think they know better
cause they’re no better than you
and we’re no better than you
we’re no better than you
i know i’m just a fraud but they think they know better
cause they know better
and we know better than you
we know better than you
because we are the scientists and you are just denialists
because we are the nihilists and you are too idealistic
it makes one cry for the days before the internet ruined our collective intellect
we’re no better than you

Cindy's Kindy

there's no room to move 'cause they let too many in
too many is too many is too many jacinda
if they don't wanna listen then they won't be the living
might have been
simply lock them out, tell them that they can't come in
all because they want to scull hydroxychloroquine
if they don't wanna listen then they won't be the living
might have been
how do you sleep at night, keeping everyone alive
we're all in cindy's kindy, church at the drive-in
if they don't wanna listen then they won't be the living
get a grip
get a grip
get a grip on the world we live in
get a grip
get a grip
get a grip on the world we live in
we live under the dome, we don't love to call it home
but it keeps the covid out so we don't want to roam
if they don't wanna listen then they won't be the living
might have been
why don't you move to your beloved home, sweden?
why don't you move to your beloved home, sweden?
why don't you move to your beloved home, sweden?
why don't you move to your beloved home, sweden?

Landlords
03:39
|

we need you poor, so forever poor
if we compete on fruits of labour, we have none
we only know how to extract, we only think of the impact
when it hits our bottom lines or the types of wine we buy
parasite, itchy mite, neolithic appetite
greedy guts, full of pus, waiting for the bubble bust
out of sight, out of mind, while you pay up i'll be fine
parasite? be polite, on the street you'll be tonight
if you don't pay more than half you earn
how will i afford avocado? we have none
we call ourselves the providers, but all we bring are the spiders
they can trap you in our web
as you watch our prices rise even higher

Band T-shirt
03:21
|
|||
i never saw the point in wearing ties
fake civility is lies
there's nothing but the truth when you casualise
so put on a band t-shirt, don't be shy
it has to be a black one, and outsized
band t-shirt, black t-shirt, band t-shirt, black
nirvana and the beatles, crowded house
the smashing pumpkins, weezer and pink floyd
the clash and ryan adams, the spice girls
as long as it's a black shirt, it is good
band t-shirt, black t-shirt, band t-shirt, black

Petrov's False Alarm
06:49
|

if the radar never can lie
then it's time for us to die
if the doomsday machine is set
but there's something i don't understand
that just five is enough to land
a boom that cannot be come back from
and blow us sky-high
i told them 'false alarm'
they don't wanna do us harm
i might have saved the world
they said 'yes you are right'
'your next shift is tonight'
you might have saved the world
but that's your job
and i couldn't tell my wife
how i might have saved her life
i was meant to be a nobody
but then the wall fell
i told them 'false alarm'
they don't wanna do us harm
i might have saved the world
they said 'yes you are right'
'your next shift is tonight'
you might have saved the world
but that's your job

Evacuate
04:28

when i used to believe in things i knew weren't true
i still hoped they were
now it takes a lot to want the world to be
that messed up, i learned
the more i talk, the worse it seems
the less i say, the worse it is
my world used to be so small that i could ride
across it daily
why did we surrender to the nine to five
'cause it means nothing
the more i talk, the worse it seems
the less i say, the worse it is
all of my friends, they might as well all be dead
evacuate
all of my friends, they might as well all be dead
nothing has changed
evacuate

The Everything
02:31
|

if you don't want to look stupid
then you should not do stupid things
it ain't hard to be misanthropic
but it takes love to be the king
so must you be the one to win?
must you be the everything?
i thought we were here to win, but
you must be the everything
if you don't want to look nazi
then you should not do nazi things
if you want to be seen as a good
bada-bing, then don't do the bad
so must you be the one to win?
must you be the everything?
i thought we were here to win, but
you must be the everything
