Meaning's like a missile flying overhead
I try to catch the vapour trail
But it just disappears
Cold comfort in the clear sky hanging over me
Just don't forget what Freddy said
You never know it till
You've been through it yourself
Just don't forget like Freddy said
You never know it till
You've been through it yourself
Jenny caught a plane
She thought the truth lay overseas
She found another lie
And then she put it out to seed
She thought she wasn't blind to all the things she couldn't see
But don't forget
Like Freddy said
You never feel it till you've felt it for yourself
But don't forget
Like Freddy said
You never feel it till you've felt it for yourself
SOLO...cold comfort in the clear sky hanging over me...
Ziggy was a baser thought the truth hid in his dreams
And everyone was driven by the things they couldn't see
How those strange desires became a very strange disease
But don't forget....

Scream your Lullabies
03:37

Commemorate you lies
Reconstruct your alibis
You sent the young to kill and die
To feed the hungry power fools
Scream your Lullabies
And whisper your goodnights
Dream your idols in twilight
Leave the world awake in fright
Rain your fire from the sky
Burn your name into the night
Raise the young to fry
Leave the world awake in fright
You're just a mediocre man
elevated by the circumstance
a mediocre man elevated by the circumstance

Hell is Full
03:21

Hell is full of broken hearts
Hell is full of broken hearts
Haunted by visions of deeds driven by desperate needs
Beware the mammal with something to prove
And nothing left to lose
Beware the M.A.M.I.L with nothing to prove
And all thats left to lose
Hell is full of broken hearts
Hell is full of broken hearts
Nightmares and murderous scenes
Driven by missions and creeds
Brothers have fallen by each others hands
Death the only promised land
Its cold there but nobody cares
Theres always room to spare
Run baby run baby run
Run baby run
A power and will too obscene
An atlas of cold blooded dreams
Theres only so much that a mammal can use
How rich they sing the blues
Theres only so much a poor mammal can bear
Before he doesn't care
Hell is full of broken hearts
Hell is full of broken hearts

I guess I always knew you never loved me
But that never mattered so much
But I never knew that you still
Cared enough to call me up and
Tell me every little thing I do is wrong
I never knew I pissed you off so much
But thanks for letting me know
Thank you for letting me know
I never knew the power my weakness holds
Even when I'm laying low
Thank you for letting me know
All I have left to give is distance
But theres only so far I can go
I'll take my leave of this feeling thats sinking
But theres only so hard I can row
I never knew my jokes were so fucked up
Punchlines are making you throw
Thank you for letting me know
I never knew the power my weakness holds
even when I'm laying low
Maybe it's time to let go
It helps to know that my lows are annoying
That even my highs get you down
And for everything wrong there is only one reason
Its my fault
Even when I'm not around
I never knew I pissed you off so much
But thanks for letting me know
Thank you for letting me know
I never knew the power my weakness holds
Even when Im laying low
Maybe its time to let go

Went to the doctor
He said 'Down on your knees!'
He said 'What you doing down here?'
Went to the doctor
He said 'Down on your knees!'
He said 'What you doing down here?'
I said "Now doctor can you help me please,
I got this pain in my head'
'I got the pills that could kill your disease' he said
'Just take a blue or a red'
I took a red and my head was at ease but now I got this pain in my neck
'I got the pills that could kill your disease' he said
'Just take a blue one instead'
'I took a blue one and now doctor doctor can you help me please I got this
Pain in my head again'
'I got the pills that could kill your disease' he said
'Just take a blue or a red again'
I got the need to evolve
But I just wanna indulge myself
Feel the need to be bold
But I just wanna indulge myself
SOLO
I got the need to evolve
But I just wanna indulge myself
Feel the need to be bold
But I just wanna indulge myself

Neoliberal Lovebot

I am a neoliberal robot from the sunny side of the street
I am a neoliberal robot from the sunny side of the street
My goal is a wealth indivisible
My God is a wealthy individual
From the side of the street
Where you do as you please
Please...
Please...
My girl is a neolibertarian lovebot from a media company
She drives a convertible think-tank BMW sports utility
Our goal is a wealth indivisible
Our God is a hand thats invisible
And we believe
in the right of every market to be free
Set them free
When the market's on your side
Theres no need to hide

Went down to the corner
Looking for some pain relief
Little boys with their badges and guns
Went and stopped me in the street
Just minding my own business
But they keep talking down to me
"'Cos theres terror in this city boy,
and your skins just got this guilty sheen"
How hard the rein
Coming down on me
Coming down on me, Coming down on me
How hard the rein
Coming down on me
Coming down on me, Coming down on me
Well I'm a man without a place to stand
The MotherFakers call it 'real' estate
Just working for the landlords plan
And his agent on the take
How many poor mans nightmares
For a rich mans dreams to make
I give him all the money
He gives me notice to vacate
How hard the reign
Coming down on me
Coming down on me, Coming down on me
How hard the reign
Coming down on me
Coming down on me, Coming down on me
When I got home
There was a message on my phone
Looks like I gotta move again
The landlord said
He's jackin' up the rent
Looks like I gotta move again
The landlord said
'Andy boy you better get outta here'
Looks like I gotta move again
How hard the reign
Coming down on me
Coming down on me, Coming down on me
How hard the reign
Coming down on me
Coming down on me, Coming down on me
I found myself in a park uptown
Just looking for a place to sleep
The air so clear the moon so bright
the stars were lighting up the scene
I said 'Lord wont you tell me why, wont you tell me where on earth I'm meant to be?'
Before my eyes the skies opened up
And now even Heaven is
Coming down on me
How hard the rain
Coming down on me
Coming down on me, Coming down on me
How hard the rain
Coming down on me
Coming down on me, Coming down on me

Oh for the days
03:42

I strolled down to the garden
just to get myself a peach
But the juiciest of all was
the furthest from my reach
Oh for the days
when it was easier to dream
Oh for the days
when it was easier to dream
So I went down to the SuperMall
to pick myself a treat
But the shelves were stacked with never-wants and
Nothing that I needed
Oh for the days when I was easier to please
Oh for the days when it was easier to please
Caught in a land sleight of reason
Where the heart beats out of time with the changing of the seasons
Got our gadgets so sublime but they never seem to please us
We're losing all the time trying not to sound defeatist
These days
we got the politics of petty propositions
new wave hypotheses and facile oppositions
Come find a new religion in the digital edition
Repeat the same mistake in higher definition
Forty inch flat screen dreams
Simulated siren song
Nothings ever really what it seams
Always leaves you wanting more
Always leaves you wanting more

Trial and Error
02:53
|
|||
|
If I had my time again
I would be a better liar
I'd take the country with my friends
Shooting shit by the fire
It took some work to get me on the relay of a buyer
I've woken up to it now
The dream that keeps us sick and tired
We live by trial and error
We live by trial and error
We live by trial and error
But mainly error
Guns, germs and steel in our hands
God and progress on our side
We see as the will to own demands
Through the liquor-tainted lenses
in the tiny little I's
inside our minds
We could make some fun mistakes if we just ignore the weather
We could raise the burning stakes as we all go down together
Heaven is a lonely role too right
Heaven is a lonely role too right
Fuck it up together
Fuck it up together
