Pissed Off
01:03
|

now you're sorry
so bewildered
your views are blurry
ill considered
beaten and torn
you're not, anymore the ones' you thought you were
you know it's true
we merely told you
maybe it was callous
you shouldn't have pissed us
off
as predictable as you are
you brawl
invectives, the regular
like it's our fault
but it's your lives
so it's your lies, we only returned your call
if you didn't know
just goes to show
your downfalls' humongous
you shouldn't have pissed us
off
do we overreact
maybe, so what
it's still righteous
you shouldn't have pissed us
off

Yea We're Crazy
02:21
|

we’re in the void
of tranquility
paranoid
as in iommi
fully lost it
never got it
far beyond fucked up, we can’t stop it
diagnoses
just name them
we got ‘em, we’re even worse than uncle rotten
ch:
yea we’re crazy
yea we’re crazy
yea we’re crazy haw haw haw
we’re cooked
high and dry
overlooked
walking suicides
has beens
on the shelf
we can’t say what were doing next cos’ we don’t know ourselves
ch:
got plenty more bridges to burn,
tides to turn, even further lessons to earn and unlearn
take the c test
twice a week
distinguished guest
at the emergency
you won’t grasp
can’t think
believe you’re dying the tests are still negative
querulous
got toilet issues
you scream for authorities to tell you what to do

He's Not You
01:53
|
|||
tell me stories about his past
all things he’s been up to
point out just how embarrassed
you are, cos’ it’s all about you
it doesn’t matter
he’s the one thing
you’ll never be, he’s not you
say you’re prettier and slimmer
smarter and got more friends
claim he’s a reformist, a right winger
and the kind of message it sends
argue i could find someone better
don’t think you believe i could
i’m certain it wouldn’t have mattered
if he’s not you, he’s no good
thought you might have reconsidered
i was ready to do that too
but you were just embittered
for the loss of my blues
it doesn’t matter
he’s the one thing
you’ll never be, he’s not you
it doesn’t matter
he wants me
for me, he’s not you
he’s not you, jealous and possessive
he’s not you, passive aggressive
he’s not you, manodepressive
he’s not you, no
he’s not you, a drama king
he’s not you, lying and crying
he’s not you, prying and spying
he’s not you, no

Freedom in Slavery
03:17
|
|||
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
heads up! watch the riot cops growing restless to get to do their job
heads up! look at the hand cuffed man laying face down on the bloody ground
we got drugs, guns, bombs in the street
nobody’s asking how, how, how, how this came to be
just lock ‘em, lock ‘em, lock ‘em up
more laws, more cops, escalating deadlock
fight the poor, not poverty
the solution is more inequality
few are rich cos’ the many are poor
those who have must have more
for the ruling elite, employers and politicians
the financial sector, multinational corporations
divide and conquer is just a consequence
of the products they push and the lies with them
freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom in slavery
freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
heads up! catch the middle class, all empty inside, stick up its ass
heads up! it’s the thought police, just following orders a la albert speer
you can say, think and do what you like
as long as you don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t step out of line
so abide, abide, abide by your class
worship the rich, despise the mass
middle management, the powers hand
torpedoes and agents of the grand plan
execute, conquer and implement
eliminate all improper elements
baudelaire said the devils greatest trick
was convincing people that he didn’t exist
fake news’ spread by condemning fake news
establishments anti-establishment views
freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom in slavery
freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom in slavery
freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom in slavery
freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom in slavery
freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom

Funeral
02:18
|
|||
clouds are heavy, sky’s dark
air is thin, hard to breathe
a crowd in the church yard
for the one who’s at peace
theres mourning and despair among those who’s there, the killing kind
the dead, the dead, the dead, the dead don’t mind
he had been gone for years
nobody could remember when
he left or to where he disappeared
to most he was forgotten’
all the time he was alive, his death took all by surprise, ill timed
the dead, the dead, the dead, the dead don’t mind
they say he died too young
he had much more left in him
nobody knew what he’d done, or what he was supposed to be doing
earthly gain, heavenly loss
hell bound, destiny fulfilled
he died the way he lived, a drunk and a junkie, an unkind
the dead, the dead, the dead, the dead don’t mind

Gaslighter
02:57
|

ch:
woolybullymuppetpuppet
shut up, you little gaslighter
yea, you’re a gaslighter
lesson no1
he told you things that turned out to be lies
confronted about it, he simply denied
he told you things, he told you things
he told you things that turned out to be lies
ch:
lesson no2
he made you promises he didn’t live up to
then he swore never said it, and that you misunderstood
he made you promises, he made you promises
he made you promises he didn’t live up to
lesson no3
he’s cutting you down, calling you his friend
then he praises you, just to cut you down again
he’s cutting you down, he’s cutting you down
he’s cutting you down calling you his friend
ch:
lesson no4
he says to your friends that you’re not at all well
he says to you your friends are really not your friends
he says to your friends, he says to your friends
he says to your friends that you’re not at all well
lesson no5
he says you’re crazy and that you need help
you don’t feel like it, but you’re not sure of yourself
he says you’re crazy, he says you’re crazy
he says you’re crazy and that you need help
some last points. if he’s jealous, he might not be fucking around but you know that’s where his minds at. and if he abuses you, no matter what, it’s not you who made him do it, the blame is solely on him. and the ones who’s trying to excuse his behaviour by something like “he’s in a tough spot”, fuck ‘em, there is no excuse for this kind of shit. none whatsoever. don’t let anyone belittle your situation. you stay strong now. leave the tyrant fucks. keep yourself on the healthy, positive side.

Black Hole Man
03:33
|
|||
sunshine, blue skies, please go away
let me up, let me drown
try to live like you on that day
they hung him up, cut him down
looking minnesota, feeling tabula rasa
a bad mother, a mad brother
slaves, bulldozers master
louder than your lover
black days piled up on your way
falling with both eyes closed
now you’ve been away to stay
ultramega superexposed
from rain city to sunny shaky town
driving your car, singing to the stereo
down on the upside, upside down
when all else went low you hit the high notes
just a man with a face of a boy
living the high life in spotlights
trend setter of a generation
fighting demons on the inside and outside
they labelled you, tried to disable you
into something you were but a small part
the industry’s had a bridge to sell you
but they never could figure you out
black hole man, no-one sings like you
a magician with words and a marvelous voice
life took its toll, thru and thru
on the high highs, and in the low lows
hemingway testing his shotgun
if there’s something i can stand
the impossibility of being human
all the best tendrils from the fans
out of the cage
into the sun
forever rage
black hole man

Sex & Drugs & Algorithms

sex and drugs and algorithms
is all my brain and body need
sex and drugs and algorithms
love it or leave, but you better believe it
if it can’t be you, then you better be it
you know where its at, and how to achieve it
let's go trollin, trollin, trollin to free it
i want my surrogate
i want my surrogate
i want my surrogate
i want my surrogate
lockdown, mocktown, isolated, alone
if you’re unemployed, on furlough or working at home
why not skip working and go searching, who’s gonna know?
let's go trollin, trollin, trollin moan and groan
sex and drugs and algorithms
is all my brain and body need
sex and drugs and algorithms
pissing somebody off anonymous
feels good to call out idiots for idiots
out of the overton window of discourse
let's go trollin, trollin, trollin it’s a buzz
the program is a world in which you step into
and you do as your told and whatever it lets you
it also decides who will and who will not get through
let's go trollin, trollin, trollin peekaboo
i want my surrogate
i want my surrogate
i want my surrogate
i want my surrogate

socialist architectures meetings in session
subject today, cultural imperialism
there’s a lot talk about the working class
but of all the present participants, none of them are
the small room is filled with incense and pride
most of them have never worked a day in their life
and those who have, they let everyone know
however short period, or how long, long, long ago
the meetings agreed upon a petition
addressing the current housing situation
then they move on to a restaurant
for a free discussion drenched in alcohol
he’s middle aged, overweight
afraid of being made
divorced, got three kids
shared residency
the weeks with the kids are a jail
locked up and restrained with chains
from his career and girlfriend
makes him a harsh, sad parent
close to burn out, ‘bout to crash
close to burn out, ‘bout to crash
if it weren’t for the peer pressure and the negative impact on his social value
he would have left the kids with the xwife and never come back
never come back
chest pains, cold sweat, agony and fear

Class of Me
02:37
|

hey ho lets go
deep
into the shallow
the class of me would drown in a puddle
the class of me no love, just cuddle
the class of me for everyone to see
the class of me, the class of me
brag, tag, your famous friends
they love you, you love them, so so must their fans
social media posts are full of pics and selfies
of you, kids, friends, you and you happyhappyhappy
the kids names, in flames, tattooed on your knee
is like your affection 100 micrometer deep
online, all the time, everything’s for show
you’re not lonely? nah? nah? no?!
the class of me would drown in a puddle
the class of me no love, just cuddle
the class of me for everyone to see
the class of me, the class of me
the class of me would drown in a puddle
the class of me no love, just cuddle
the class of me for everyone to see
the class of me, the class of me
hegemony defines what you can and cannot do
your friends provides you with your points of views
admit no failures, blame it on somebody else
take all the credit you can for everything else
do as you’re told, that is, do as you’re trained
and should something go wrong, then you’re the master of the blame game
good or bad, it’s never you
you’re not for real? are you? are you? no?!
the class of me would drown in a puddle
the class of me no love, just cuddle
the class of me for everyone to see
the class of me, the class of me
way down in the surface
the lights are on but no-ones home
