EMPTY WALLS

Your empty walls, your empty walls

Pretentious attention
Dismissive apprehension
Don't waste your time on coffins today
When we decline from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls

Those empty walls

When we decline from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls
Want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taunt you to see from behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls

I loved you yesterday before you killed my family

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls
Want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taunt you to see from behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucking walls
From behind those god damn walls
Those walls, those walls


THE UNTHINKING MAJORITY

We don't need your democracy
Execute them kindly for me
Take them by their filthy nostrils
Put them up in doggie hostels
We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable
Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable
Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
Clearing the way for the oil brigade

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable

Insinuating they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
Clearing the way for the oil brigade


MONEY

Money,
All for money
Save your money,
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Save your money
All for money,

Waning patience
People's appetite
Disposition
This possession
Dispossessed from all the attractions,
Dancing bears of eroticism,
Self absorbed delusion
Inclusion of dysfunction,
I now await the triumphant
Lost baggage, train station,

The causes of ineptitude
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude
Can be traced to the tyranny of

Money,
All for money,
Make your money,
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Save your money
All for money,

My final surrender
Away from inclusion
I now await the triumphant,
Left baggage, train station,

The causes of ineptitude
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude
Can be traced to the tyranny of a down,
The causes of ineptitude
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude
Can be traced to the tyranny of

Money,
All for money,
Make your money,
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Save your money
All for money,
Money, money, money, money


FEED US

Maybe we believe
She was ready to go
In the morning light
Maybe you believe
That she was made of gold
In the east where you killed her
You lead us
When you need to feed us
You comfortably delete us
When you need your fetus

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out,

Goodbye, Goodbye

She speaks unrehearsed
Languages from skin
In the morning light
Painting shadows on the
faces of the dead
In front of their widows

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Before its too late,

Do you know that life is ending
As we go, the dots connecting
We had our chance to save the garden
As it dies, our souls will harden
With these words chastising your conscience
We're breaking through and praying for transcendence

But you deceived us all now,

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out.


SAVING US

Why do we sit around and
Break each other's hearts tonight
Why do we dance around
The issues till the morning light
When we sit and talk
And tear each other's lives apart
You were the one to tell me go

But you were the one for me
And now you're going through the door
When you take that step
I love you baby more and more
We need to laugh and sing and cry
And warm each other's hearts tonight
Observing the fun of everything
And loving all our mother God

Tearing us, You're tearing us
You're breaking us, You're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us, you're saving us
You're tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us

Why do we sit around and
Break each other's hearts tonight
Why do we dance around
The issues 'till the morning light
When we sit and talk and
Tear each other's lives apart
You were the one to tell me go

But you were the one for me
And now you're going through the door
When you take that step
I love you baby more and more
We need to laugh and sing and cry
And warm each other's hearts tonight
Observing the fun of everything
And loving all our mother God

Tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us, you're saving us
You're tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us

Forever alive, forever alive, forever, forever
Forever alive, forever alive, forever
Never and ever again

You're tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us, you're saving us
You're tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us, you're saving us
You're tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us


SKY IS OVER

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That you cradle the sun, sun
Living in remorse
Sky is over

Don't you want to hold me baby
Disappointed, going crazy

Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
I don't want to see you go
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over

Behind closed eyes lie
The minds ready to awaken you
Are you at war with land
And all of its creatures
Your not-so-gentle persuasion
Has been known to wreck economies
Of countries, of empires, the sky is over

Don't you want to hold me baby
Disappointed, going crazy

Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun
Don't you want me to run

Even though you can't afford
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
I don't want to see you go
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
I don't want to see you go
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
I don't want to see you go
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
The sky is over us


BABY

You came to me within a dream
Not everyone is who they seem
All these words we cant redeem
Like the great magic of our world
Corroborated by your words
Splitting planets into thirds

Baby oh baby
Baby my baby
Baby ooh babe
I miss you, lalalala
Baby oh baby
Baby my babe
Baby ooh babe
I miss you

To all the leaves that fall in vain
While god and goddess go insane
All these words in your domain
The watches kill time as the books read
Inadvertently we bleed
Fighting for what we deceive

Baby oh baby
Baby my baby
Baby ooh babe
I miss you, lalalala
Baby oh baby
Baby my babe
Baby ooh babe
I miss you

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Now why can't you see that you always
perturb me so
Nearing the end of the world, just leave me
alone,
Leave me alone
Why can't you see that you always perturb me
so
Nearing the end of the world, leave me alone,
Leave me alone

Baby oh baby
Baby my baby
Baby ooh babe
I miss you, lalalala
Baby oh baby
Baby my babe
Baby ooh babe
I miss you


HONKING ANTELOPE

Why don't you go photograph
Everything that ever passed in time
Indigenous traces, tribal chiefs,
Vanishing hereditary lines,
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,

When you see that honking antelope
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Nature based beings will survive
Apocalyptic days of now
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao

When you see that honking antelope
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Of it all,
Run away with me now
Run away with me now,
My life,

We are the cause of a world that's gone wrong
Nature will survive us human dogs after all,

Why don't you go photograph
Everything that ever passed in time,
Poets gone wile on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,

When you see that honking antelope
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,
When you see that honking antelope
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Of it all,
Run away with me now,
Run away with me now
My love,

We are the cause of a world that's gone wrong
Nature will survive us human dogs after all,
We are the cause of a world thats gone wrong,
Wouldn't it be great to heal the world
With only a song.


LIE LIE LIE

Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie

My baby, my baby,
Let me know
because you love me, you love me
Let me go
And you're my lover, you pay me
Twice my size
And on your knees you lay
In my thighs

Take my hand and let's end it all
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below
Take my hand and let's end it all

My baby, my baby
Let me go
And if you love me, you love me
Let me go
Cause I'm your brother, your brother
Have some pride
And now you love me, you love me
Then die tonight

Take my hand and let's end it all,
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below
Take my hand and let's end it all
Broke her little bones
On the boulders below
And while she fell I delightfully said

Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie

She took my hand and I let her go
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below
Took my hand and she ended it all
Broke her little bones on the boulders below
And while she fell, I smiled.

Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie


PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION

Come lay it down.
Won't you,
Come burn it down.
Can't you,
Lay it down,
The guns above the ground.
Won't you...

Lay it down.
Won't you,
Burn it down.
Can't you,
Lay it down,
The guns above the ground.
Won't you...

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You don't know what this love is all about.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition,
Life affirming and our spiritual trust

Lay it down.
Won't you,
Burn it down.
Can't you,
Lay it down,
The guns above the ground.

Nlelith is a prophet,
From the prophet came the king,
From the king came the pauper,
From the pauper came the swing,
From the swing came creation,
From creation came love,
You don't know what this love is all about.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Buddha, Mohammad and the Hindu
Lost 100

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
People still ask:
"When will Armageddon begin?"

Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter,
Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter,
Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter.

Nlelith is a prophet,
From the prophet came the king,
From the king came the pauper,
From the pauper came the swing,
From the swing came creation,
From creation came love,
You don't know what this love is all about.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Do we ever have enough,
When we see that blue dove.
Do we ever have enough,
When we see that blue dove.
We want to go where,
No one's been
No one's been.

Come lay it down.
Won't you,
Come burn it down.
Can't you,
Lay it down,
The guns above the ground.


BEETHOVEN'S CUNT

Brushing, touching, feeling on your shoulders,
Believing, appealing, kneeling in your worlds,
Oceans are combined...

Being that I love you so much,
In the end they all will say,
Breaking someone else's heart again...

Find the little evil perpetrator,
And feed him to the hungry alligator,
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about the profits,
Nor the riches in your dreams...

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe in me...

I've been walking through these dead farms,
But I don't mind,
I've been screaming through these dead lungs,
But I can't find...

Being that I love you so much,
In the end they all will say,
Breaking someone else's heart again...

Find the little evil perpetrator,
And feed him to the hungry alligator,
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about the profits,
Nor the riches in your dreams...

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe, in me...

But lately I've been blind,
You leave me all alone, left in time,
You left me here to die, left in time,
Leave me all alone, left in time...

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe in nothing...

But lately I've been blind,
Leave me all alone, left in time.


ELECT THE DEAD

Arms are raised above the sky
But all I want is me

You are there beside the night
But all I want is me
All I want is me

Love we know
Comes from inside
But all I want is me
All I want is me

Death we know
Come to us alive
But all I want is you

Death we know
Comes to all of us alive
But all I want is you
All I need is you
All I want
