United Union of Utopia
03:32
|
|||
when all around you there are
angry young red eyed cannibal citizens of UUU
United Union of Utopia
a false reality brought to us by the stars
a brighten future gone astray
a light that comes from Mars
union of a bitter past
union of a bitter few
one man will start the cast
and carry on with devilish newness
utopia once lost
utopia once new
can it be won again
can lies become the truth
when all around you there are
angry young red eyed cannibal citizens of UUU
United Union of Utopia
one man says wallowing in the mud is the best thing to do
one must do after another betrayal perpetrated and is all you can do,
to afford a treat when you're living the gutter life in the soaking streets
no one to help you, clothes you, feed you, hold you
make you realize the hold on you
outside waiting is a taxi cab picking up a man who's just been stabbed
with all the blood and bruises covering your face
and the white hair falling out the window in bad taste
when you think you lost your mind
and all are suffering blind
you must give up your mind
I'm talking to you!
out there in the crowd
a warrior of present Mao
in a system of hate
mean't to beat you at it's game
if I'm blind well I've spent my time
shuffling down the street with my sign of mine held up high
and I'm a little run down too, but honey don't be blue
we can team up and live together one another
without all of the fuss, the hustling and the must have in our lives
a realness comes alive, inside
just the two of us
please help me understand the way I thought I knew the world
with the murders but this speed, I'm in need aren't you, too?
when you think you've lost your mind
and all are suffering blind
you must give up your mind
I'm talking to you
out there in the crowd
a warrior of present Mao
in a system of hate
mean't to beat you at it's game
one more time around
do not let it get you down
it's come again but we're waiting
to bring it all down
utopia once lost
utopia once new
can it be won again
can lies become the truth
when all around you there are
angry young red eyed cannibal citizens of UUU
United Union of Utopia

Wax Politik
02:59
|
|||
I'm molded by your fingers and your hands
by truthful eyes a-blazing throughout the sorrow land
in figures fall calling out to Nostrodumas' muse
a tingly of such angel dust like ghosts whispering to you
in the land of wax
politik is it's name
living can bring death
and government will be it's game
they are seeing past the guise of a gleeful mass of sheep
they are seeking and they are wise to all the GMOs they make us eat
but why are they all the time trying to siphon up the gates of krishna's hell
at every waking state we claimed to have no knowledge of the tale
in the land of Pax Romana
in the land of we
the land of solidarity
the place of you and me
let eagles grip on your sleeves
the buzzards have the bees
it's times like these I am a sleaze
in the land of liberty
persuaded by the tube and diluted by the red facts
the preying monsters here at last and the ballots have been cast
a ruthless force is swaying like a swing set in the breeze
before you know our time has come being pulled beneath the waves
by foolish slugs they give and by wicked emotions play
the men and women of renown are sleeping already in graves
it's time at last to see the sun for all it's worth in heaven
and burn the wax until it melts like bread inside an oven
they turn to slimy sludge they go
in drainage they now lay
in truly homey stays I say
where they belong today

The Step Aside
01:08
|
|||
I stepped aside
from all the sorrow in my life
I stepped aside
when I thought it was alright
I stepped aside
when all the stares became another way
of showing how I died
I stepped aside
long ago when months were old
I stepped aside
it was the best time of my life
I stepped aside
it's all over now and then again
I stepped aside
I can't believe you were my friend
I stepped aside
when times got oh so bad
I stepped aside
when all the faces got so bad
I stepped aside
when did she eventually die?
I stepped aside
how could I live a lie?
I stepped aside
where is the line for
"run and hide"?
I stepped aside
I cannot lie
and with you I cannot die
I stepped aside
I've come to find
into the next part of my life
I cannot lie
I cannot die
because I love you
I cannot hide

You Must Be Freaky
04:20
|
|||
you think you're beating me at my game
you think you know us all the same
you might be trying to get back
but all the lying will surely get you hacked up
we beat our breast when times are bad
we love to ring our heads
we bring the PC when it's bad
we love to get into your beds
and freak out!
You must be sick, I'm sick of you
you can't be sweet but I'm with you
you run our lives from the inside
you will be crying oh bye and bye
look out!
we must be in over our heads
without us you would all be dead
a little fix will have us blind
don't bet a fool for a great time
and freak out!
you must be freaky
we must be cool
you must be carrying
some kind of tool
we have been looking
for our souls
without ever knowing
our true goals
You must be sick, I'm sick of you
you can't be sweet but I'm just stuck here with you
you run our lives from the inside
you will be crying oh bye and bye
look out!
we must be in over our heads
without us you would all be dead
a little fix will have us blind
don't bet a fool for great time
and freak out!
we beat our breast when times are bad
we love to ring our heads
we bring the PC when it's bad
we love to get into your beds
and freak out!
you must be sick I'm sick of you
you can't be sweet but I'm just stuck here with you
you run our lives from the inside
you will be crying oh bye and bye
look out!
freak out!
you must be freaky
we must be cool
you must be carrying
some kind of tool
we have been looking
for our souls
without ever knowing
our true goals

Under Operation
02:22
|
|||
under the ground, we're under operation
without a sound we dig up our own graves
under the town there lies an underground
a darken door aligned with walls of white
under the hounds there is a basement in the ground
under the bounds there be the monster eating paste
only the crown will decide those who will stay
and the people live in fear of their own selves
under the water will nothing stand there for free
under the sand it is the same but very oily
under our town there is a leak that's gone abound
and a spoiled garden feeding death without a sound
all around us is a creeping possibility
that all we've considered is nothing but the bees
under the ground and over the average man's head
when it gets a pounding by the heavy sees of the operation
a mystic vision, a central station
under our feet we sleep while taking in lies
underneath the streets we blanket our own sides
fighting for a cause thought up where the devil abides
under our noses they brought through our skin
we must take back our own sins again
under the order we sleep though awake
under the news, tv, and radio they are to blame
under the grease under the grime
a historic pain engulfs us just in time
under the sights, over the line
we are under operation
who will be kind and make
an emancipation

Piecemakers
02:17
|
|||
one piece is a little bit stranger
than the other piece that's a little bit harder
but the other piece is quite a bit tougher
when it all comes down to the line
my piece suffers from enlargement
and your piece is free from the parchment
but the missing pice is very very hard to find
when it all comes down to the line
our pieces are coming together
and their pieces are little more threaded
but the centerpiece is a lotta bit vetted
when they ask you for your sign
when it all comes down to the line
when Mars rules over the sky
when it all comes down to the line
one piece is a little bit stranger
than the other piece that's a little bit harder
but the other piece is quite a bit tougher
when it all comes down to the line
when they ask you for your sign
when it all comes down to the line
when Mars rules over the sky
when it all comes down to the line
one piece, two piece
red piece, blue piece
short piece, fat piece
no piece, faux pièce
nice piece, bad piece
like peace, had peace
sad piece, mad peace
a tad peace, fad piece
when they ask you for your sign
when it all comes down to the line
when Mars rules over the sky
when it all comes down to the line

The Knowledge Tree
03:38
|
|||
when we're together I am apart
from all the things that bother me smarts
when were apart I like to think of us together
playing in the kitchen sink
A lonely heart that found his lover
a broodish mark that has become clean
I was a believer in what is being and how to be like really be
but like I've learned by such grandiose ways
it's like a game and I can't play the game my way
when we collide, something inside
oh babe, I know we were made for this time
our fates had thus collide in bias and in our prime
another venture we act out like a weathered play
with walls that are for knowing
without the thought of showing
coming down to a sporadic and eternal let it be
with us in hand together
apart from this grey sea
into a deeper meaning built upon
the knowledge tree
A lonely heart that found his lover
a broodish mark that has become clean
I was a believer in what is being and how to really be
but like I've learned by bitter truths of day by day by day by day
it's like a game and I just can't play this game my way, my way
when we share months in waiting
together in the shading trees and sunlight
the weeks and years just roll on by
and we toast to what we knew apart
the honeydew back then we did all that we could embark again
with us in hand together
apart from this grey sea
into a deeper meaning built upon
the knowledge tree

Time For Truth
04:24
|
|||
it's time for truth
it's time for another time
it's time for a mute on what cannot be undone
it's time for the coup
to be imploded for just the fun of it all
it's time for you
to stand up for your rights
it's time for you
for a change brought from on high
it's time for truth
between you and me and we can be
so cool again, baby
if our dear leader will come and titter
above a sodded few
in times of toil we bought the coil
it unwound before it's time
and now we people and our freedom
drink not nearly as good as wine
it's time
a final end to a time come unbound
when we would both be friends
the truth cannot undo
what much we had to do
it's time
a final end to a time come unbound
when we would both be friends
it's time for you

Red Little City
02:50
|
|||
little red city on a hilltop
nothing looked so pretty but a doorstop
in between the gaze of an officer of malaise
tying you down man
little red city
glows u-top the wasteland buried in the sand
with little meaning and it's time to blow the leaves
our weather's changing
whether it's by you or it's by me
our little red city has had a cow, man
little red rock
u-top a mounttain top with gold inside your hills
and as the papers run our bills
we cry to you, somebody out there
it's time that you knew
of the injustice brought because of our manners, too
we cry and wait in vain all the same
little red rooster
calling my name when it's past the window pane
and another man bites the lame
violence upon the southern grain
inshrined with shameful days
with a voice that is calling for
a whole new same
a new which can't be called for pawning in their game
all the faces shall remain
in our little red city, little red town
not one frown we like to thank our Judas mass
welcomed it and it was a gas
now we lay in wake for hopes that one more day
will start to change
mixing colors that are opaque
a liquid drawing red like blood of the slain
overflows inside a little snow globe for two
that tell you what you ought to do
in this little red town, this little red city
all we ever wanted for equality for the many
but ended up like slaves
in another cyclic common day
the true essence of our name
was given away one fateful day
like a red rose bouquet
someday this little red town
will run it's colors to the new
and will sign off with blue
and the smearing on the page
a red heart upon a maze that's telling you to behave
a rose of thorns will break upon the maize
in my little red village
that is crumbling by the waves
red ocean ashore
upon a trumpet's howling sound
the red sea light bustling across the lost mill
where the men of old once stood their ground
red at night and black is tight
the colors come alive
unless you do what you have to
and make them reel in time

Western Man
02:20
|
|||
long legs and a grappling hook
short beard and a leather book
torn face and a gravel throat
tight lace and a big meat hook
western man
he got a lot of pride
western man
he knows when it's time
western man
he knows every thing's gonna be alright
western man
in an age of digital spies
dark clothes and a spider belt
dusty hands and a cheddar melt
barking tongue and a letterhead
when y'all gonna duck your heads
at the...
western man
he got a lot of pride
western man
he knows when it's time
western man
he knows everything's gonna be alright
western man
in an age of digital spies
mighty tooth and an empty smile
frighting mind and a case to shut
western man is gonna make the cut
break his chin like a china vase
break your legs like they were toothpaste
western man
he got a lot of pride
western man
he knows when it's time
western man
he knows everything's gonna be alright
western man
in an age of digital spies
western man
he makes the age come alive

Blatant Criminal
03:06
|

she's a murder and likes the kite
when the cage breaks and lions bite
she's a mistake when voters lie
she's a cupcake, just fuck the pie
she's a coward and a brutal face
in a monster made up for the peoples sake
in a time warp with danger high
what difference does it make?
when all the bodies pile high at the gate
and the witchhead's lies are no longer at stake
because the system has blown out the lies
into our heads because we they know we'll cry
and whine over what's right or fight
because it's thinking that is not too bright
in terms of her lies
into a field of goyim tied
she chuckles at all of the blinds
and pushes us into the grind
finding some dark space to overtake
she's a risky fucked up killer
and she's not so kind
in a presidential race
oh what's at stake
she's a murder and likes the kite
when the cage breaks and lions bite
she's a mistake when voters lie
she's a cupcake, just fuck the pie
she's a coward and a brutal face
in a monster made up for the peoples sake
in a time warp with danger high
like a Clinton, she will do her time
after all is said and done
who can deny?
she's a monger, oh don't be shy
she's a monster, oh by and bye
she's a terror cut by the grin
she's a clutter with fiery eyes
she's a cutter but from behind
she's a mother but just the worst kind

Mars or Bust
02:18
|
|||
in dreams I was told what may be to come
a glorious fold for some
but a mindless sovereign pool
and a wailing baby crying fool
I'm on the stool at another bar, oh well
some day it's cool opposed to burnin' hell
I know its true, some day we'll do
what no other can do
in dreams it's true, this mind anew
I blew up when I expanded in thought
I became when I sought after the lot
in space I seem to behave of the space
with dreams afloat upon my mind of heavy mace
across the floating planets with a flatness to their plane
to another moon awaiting for our souls to play the blame
across the milky way, into another light
I fought the good old fight again and I thought I fought a lot
in time I was a failure and in love it was all lost
in dreams I saw the future and at such a little cost
across the nothing plane into a made up stage
I laid across your back and read your prose
we danced among the stars across the neon bars
in fate and dreams we doth not wait a moment
I blew up when I expanded in thought
I became when I sought after the lot
silence now it's still
it's time for our next pill
we cross over to another ocean

Courage Buzz
03:12
|
|||
one day I was sitting at my lonesome working space
I saw my life unfolding and it was hard to re-erase
the brutality of passion and the west-bound saving grace
I saw my self before me and I was keeping pace
until the sky goes still I'll be searching for you
even though I know I have you, it is something I must do
a craving and a passion that has driven me to you
my fiery little housing spot that keeps the separates two
one day before the sacrament I'll try again in time
a teaching like the caliphate has run it through it's prime
it's time to go on living like a hoodlum has a dime
in a store around the corner I'll be paying ya back with rhyme
and when the fire burns and the teachings have run out
I'll look again into my face with brooding "come on out"
so maybe there I'll see you with that sweetest birdie sound
I will take what I can get baby you and me can light up this town
one day I was sitting at my working space anew
I saw my life unfolding and it was really hard to view
the brutality of passion and the west-bound avenue
I saw my self before me and the sun was setting, too
until the sky goes still I'll be searching for you
even though I know I have you, it is something I must do
a spirit and a knowing that has driven me to you
my fiery little heart erased all what separates us two

TV Died
04:46
|
|||
I died here yesterday
I've cried here when they were away from me
I sat next to the wind
and watched it blowing sashay across me
towards the hills and the sidewalk rain dew acids through the smoke
I blow another toke, off a bone that I lay down here
for yet another bloke who cries lonely lonely tears
another life, another way it has come to what is here
yesterday I knew what I was, yet come here what is near
I watched the TV and the rain stopped for nearly all the damn day
when I sank slowly into my couch I indeed did for days
I took my open book, my mind isn't really what it was
flipped through the sounds and I was right where I really was
I died here yesterday
I've cried here when they were away from me
watching my TV and cooking my steaks
darling, I made you a cake, too
let them eat it all and act like fools
you better drink and bake
and watch it grinding down your throughts
with such a much of dismay on display
decay of soul and kin, what waste is really laid away
towards the hills and the sidewalk rain dew acids through the smoke
one more toke inhale and a man of sumpter kinder folk
in other times he was a suitor to the folks that came on down
he died in vain and yet we sang his name again on newly wetted ground
inside the TV we never saw him ever ever again
a static throw of vibrant waves does shock me thru my veins
and all day long I sing this song in hopes I don't decay
I died here yesterday
I've cried here when they were away from me
I sat next to the wind
and watched it blowing sashay across me
towards the hills and the sidewalk rain dew acids through the smoke
