Prologue
00:31
|
|||
|
The following pages record the lives of prominent survivors, who aim to build something they perceive is worth striving for. But in this future, without laws, prisons, or rules, what good can come from these ashes? What bad can come from the fire? A man’s greed is as sturdy as the foundations on which he built his selfishness, and in this situation, selfishness becomes a survival tactic. In this Era of Uncertainty, the only constant is devolution.

First Year

Smear the tendency
Just in time for New Year’s Eve
The first year you're out there
The first year you're out there
And when I need answers
You'll be out there
You'll be there
Mommy ran to the nearest barbershop pole
And took care of the glass
Took a wad of cash
And once done the kids had fun
With the candy cane sun
From now on haircuts are for no one
The first year makes them run
Smear the tendency
Just in time for New Year’s Eve
First year you're out there
And when I need answers
You'll be out there
You’re on the windmill good times
Stomp on my shoulder good times
You hold the world loved one
Once done the kids had fun
With the candy cane sun
From now on
Haircuts are for no one
Smear the tendency
Just in time for New Year’s Eve
First year you're out there
And when I need answers
You'll be out

I am the Genesis
I am the crest
I am the beat banging out of your chest
Gimme your money
I don't want the rest
The people in headlines
That say that I'm blessed
And you will be too if you stick around with me
I help people see
All they can be
There's nothing people
Haven't tried to achieve
So let's get together and rock the status quo
There's something inside me
It's hard to express
You give me the perfect
I give you the best
Obsidian wrapped in Venice is my heart
I help people see
All they can be
There's nothing people
Aren't willing to die
As long as you're willing to try for you can
Change the status quo
I help people see
All they can be
There's nothing people
Aren't willing to die
As long as you're willing to try for you can
Rock the fucking world
I am the Genesis
I am the crest
I am the beat banging out of your chest
Had many names
Pseudonym trees
So pick any present
You'd like me to be
But you cannot deny that I'm in you
I travel the world
In search for a girl
She's capable, beautiful, graceful and smart
But obsidian wrapped in Venice is her heart
I help people see
All they can be
There's nothing people
Aren't willing to die
As long as you're willing to try for you can
Change the status quo
I help people see
All they can be
There's nothing people
Aren't willing to die
As long as you're willing to try for you can
Rock the fucking world
I am the Genesis
I am the crest
I am the beat banging out of your chest
I am the Genesis
I am the crest
Gimme your money I don't want the rest

A Girl Once Told Me
03:24
|
|||
|
A girl once told me that
I should go to work
An honest man for one day
And I stood there with a little smirk
A girl once told me that
I’m not around
You'll blindfold me upside down
And I said let's see the best show in town
A girl once told me to
Call the police
I watched my car done cease
And she said how bout it for the
Influence Machine
A girl once told me
I'm General Lee
Talked me out Confederacy
So we moved out of Lee County
A girl once told me to
Retrace my tracks
I went ahead, did not last
Smoked grass and try to relax
A girl once told me that
I should try to breathe
An empty cartilage canteen
And I stood there with the
Influence Machine
(Communist)
(Gangster)
(Computer)
(God)
A girl once told me that
Feedback is key
Hades make me lazy
And I stood there with the
Influence Machine
(I want to run away)
A girl once told me
A girl told me
On my knees, beg and plead
And I stood there with the
Influence Machine
(She's deaf and mute)
A girl once told me that
There's something to say
Linguists in the family

Share Your Earth
05:25

Let me tell U
About the 1st man and woman
They made lines
To separate the people
They made race
To section the people
They made the countries
And the cities and the states
And they made laws
And arrested my people
They made war
And murdered my people
People of the world
Set yourself free
So the people wanted comfort
So they burnt down the trees
And they wanted to get high
So they payed the pharmacies
They wanted to feel full
So they hunted the elephants
And they wanted to feel power
So they made the dollar bill
They wanted to go fast
So they kicked out the Indians
Share your earth
Before lines become walls
Share the mountains
Share the valleys
Share the rivers that flow
Share your earth
Before it's too late
Share the mountains
Share the valleys
Share the rivers that flow
So the people were afraid
And we gave them guns
And the people were bored
So we gave them TV
And the people wanted more
So we gave them satellites
And the people wanted more
So we gave them skyscrapers
People of the world
Please set yourself free
Cause now the lines we created
Have turned into walls
And the war we created
Turned into destruction
And the race we created
Turned into greed
And the laws we created
Turned into bricks
And the skyscrapers we built
Came a crumbling down
And the people I love
Turned into robots
And the people I love
Turned into robots
Share your earth
Before lines become walls
Share the mountains
Share the valleys
Share the rivers that flow
Share your earth
Before it's too late
Share the mountains
Share the valleys
Share the rivers that flow

When we started
We were beautiful
Innocent animals
Learning their role
Living the way our earth
Permitted
The cycle of life
Universal and simple
Each giving and taking
What is needed
We have ourselves
But each other too
And we found that
1 is weaker than 2
Usually
No different from our
Daily pray
Cause they took some of us still
Every day
This would have been
The history of the human
If the stars weren't immortal
If the Gods never fell
Before they rain it down on our
Innocent hives and
And give us a craving to
Expand our lives
The star shattered bodies
Slipping into our lungs
Seeping into our brains and
Flowing through our veins
We've never seen the world like this
Suddenly asking questions like what's this?
Why?
And how?
And jealousy was born
Curiosity and dissatisfaction to
The chicken or the egg
Man or woman
You or me
Will see
And when we didn't know
Rage and distrust was born
And suddenly
1 became stronger than 2
Though just tiny God shards
The human was smaller
At first they tore us to shreds
Though incredibly strong we are
As the weakest died
The symbiosis went too far
Too far
The perfect host for this
Cosmic ghost that
Made us strive for
Fire
And it stayed with us through
Our children
When they then gave it to
Their children
Ooo, it did
And the sickest part of all
Is we didn't even know we'd
Agree to this
Parasitic relationship
With the blood
Of some ancient nova
Though they gave em reasons
For the halls of walls
So we made up our own
We believed them
Even though they may be lies

Orange is a warm laziness
Never to be taken

We all sing along

03:46

Cut your mutt and fake the feeling
Light the fairs up to the ceiling
Our good friend is here in town
So we start smelling out the clown
It’s only getting started
We grew some lazy hearts
Only getting started
Another voice who has been stationed
Hold on internal deep vacation
Call my name
I know I won’t go insane
Under the radar
Prince against the world
You tortured soul
Everyone living their own life
Only one else who can make it weird
Blimp on all their radars
You go to it the freedom
Prince against the world
Under the radar

From the effect they have when they are used
Infinite effect
Oh my god, he just said it
How's life?
How did he know that?
The reason why we're here
The tree of life gave us
Life to live
You won't feel the effect
You will not feel the effect
After the harshness
The reason why we're here
The tree of life gave us
Life to live

Hey everybody have you heard the news?
It’s ringing up and down your head
Hey everybody have you made me confused yeah?
I’m still finishing my 1st cigarette of the morning
I haven’t really started to think yet
Why you trying to fill me with your other thoughts?
I wasn’t giving any mind to hungry children before
I was doing kinda swell
Yeah
I was doing kinda swell
Love me anyway
And I know that you hate
And it goes round your head
That’s the joke, it’s okay
That’s the joke, it’s okay
It goes round your head
I know that she’s laughing at me
But that’s okay because I’m in on the joke
I think it’s funny too
Cause it’s true
It’s true
Yeah
And I just went off course
Because I put my ego in the song
And I wanted to sing about how this guy was making jokes about me
And I was just like nah that’s some wack shit
I don’t wanna listen to this guy telling jokes about me
But I’m just laughing at him anyways
Cause what the fuck am I gonna do
Say dude stop fucking being a dickhead?
Ah fuck
Maybe I could’ve done that
O shit
I can’t believe you twisted my words
Could’ve made it stretch and hurt
Could’ve broken a lil words bones
And so I have to say that
That is cool
I’m sorry thank you for doing the thing
Yes
That’s an end

I’ll take in all your advice
General Tsu
I’m in a full blown cartoon
He takes me up on a hot air balloon
I’m taking in the whole world on display
I throw away the faults of yesterday
On the coast, I’m healing
With General Tsu
1 by 1, he goes and simplifies
1 by 1, the land around the bend
1 by 1, he climbs the mountain side
1 by 1, until the bitter end
1 by 1, we pet the magic hog
1 by 1, inside the loony bin
1 by 1, believe we’re underdogs
1 by 1, until the bitter end
I’ll take in all your advice
General Tsu
Trusting in his overrule
Only when we’re down, down, down
Watching his rebound, bound, bound
In the debris, I know he’ll fetch me
On the coast, I’m waiting
For General Tsu
1 by 1, he goes and simplifies
1 by 1, the land around the bend
1 by 1, he climbs the mountain side
1 by 1, until the bitter end
1 by 1, we pet the magic hog
1 by 1, inside the loony bin
1 by 1, believe we’re underdogs
1 by 1, until the bitter end
I’m taking your advice
I’m taking your advice
I’m taking your advice
I’m taking your advice
I’m taking your advice
(I’m taking all his advice)
I’m taking your advice
(I’ll take it every day)
I’m taking your advice
(Believe me when I trust in you)
I’m taking your advice
(I believe General Tsu)
I’m taking your advice
(We'll take it, we'll take it)
I’m taking your advice
(Watch out cause General Tsu)
I’m taking your advice
(Whatcha gonna do about it)
I’m taking your advice

Yes
I have sung young
And handled blood toned tongs
And driven death into song
And driven song into breath
Brandished the gun
Shooting the lung
On the face
The stomach
Or the heart
Have done everyone
Much more than once
No kidding hon
No joking son
Flooding mountain
Come to the valley flood
You brung water and blood
Undertows of mud
Undertones of swallowed love
Like I swung young
Like I sung young
My mother myth
To magic sprung
From zeppelin sponge
Her red hook
Cut out
My hungry tongue
Tumbling froth
Lunge mountain
Lunge mountain down
In banks
Out of banks
Wrung the last
I could wring
From my heart trust
Done the most lust
I could
To make the sounds
Sound sung

More Than Toast
04:11
|

|
Is it efficient or does it kill?
With the skill of a cluster bomb
It'll take time but you know it will
If I happen to live that long
If you would listen to me
Things wouldn't seem so gloomy
Now you keep jamming up the gears
And I can't see through the smears
And everything's exactly as it...
More
I love you more
I love you more than I did before
But now it's either or
Or neither nor
And when I think about you
I start turning green
And it shakes me up inside
Cause it used to be the color of your eyes
Everywhere I go I see your ghost
The spirit of '91
You said you loved me more than toast
But less than a staple gun
Is this the wrong direction?
That's such a stupid question
Now when you make a sacrifice
You're supposed to get a wish
Why does this only work in theory?
More
I love you more
I love you more than I did before
But now it's not allowed
You're not around
I see you going out
And everything goes black
And I start to fall apart
It reminds me of the color of your heart
More
I love you more
I love you more than I did before
But now we're in a war
And what's it for
I read your horoscope
And everything is clear
And it feels a little weird
Cause it used to be the color of your tears

Zoo

I've been here for a couple of hundred and
Million, billion, trillion, zillion centuries
I've been here while I stay clear and fight fear and
Weep tears while wishing the best upon all of the rest of my frenemies
I've been here for a couple of hundred and
Million, billion, trillion, zillion centuries
Planted my ancestry
Lit the cancer in me
Right upon the reaper
O I'll never leave her
All abroad the kid nest
Wubbing with some cyborg
All you little cremlings
Kick it in the tripod
I've been here for a couple of hundred and
Million, billion, trillion, zillion centuries
I've been here while I stay clear and fight fear and
Weep tears while wishing the best upon all of the rest of my frenemies
I've been here for a couple of hundred and
Million, billion, trillion, zillion centuries
Humming past the plaza
Blasted towards Tanguska
Radiation in me
Radiation in me
Templeton or spaceman?
O they never listen
Where are the kids off to?
Are they afraid of you?
Where are the dragons you promised?
Where is the zoo I once knew?
Where are the kids off to?
Are they afraid of you?
Moa down the last stage
Chupacabra any day
We gotta wake the moth man
We gotta wake the moth man
Once a Bali seabird
Now a dreaded moth jam
There's the dragons you promised
There's the zoo I once knew
I've been here for a couple of hundred and
Million, billion, trillion, zillion centuries
I've been here while I stay clear and fight fear and
Weep tears while wishing the best upon all of the rest of my frenemies
I've been here for a couple of hundred and
Million, billion, trillion, zillion centuries
I've been here while I stay clear and fight fear and
Weep tears while wishing the best upon all of the rest of my frenemies

People will crow when the sun is on the rise
What do they know when their visions black and white
How will they glow when they only retreat
Ain’t it a drag when you never get to be
I’m taking all their sins and
I’m taking all their sins and
I’m taking all their sins and
I multiply
I’m taking all their sins and
I’m taking all their sins and
I’m taking all their sins and
People will watch with them dreary lifeless eyes
How will they grow when their bodies never jive
Hurts the wit with appointed 45s
Countrywide and the luck of suicide
Now people will crow when you point out all their lies
What do they know if they don’t know wrong from right
How will they glow when they only retreat
Ain’t it a drag when you never get to be
I’m taking all their sins and
I’m taking all their sins and
I’m taking all their sins and
I multiply
I’m taking all their sins and
I’m taking all their sins and
I’m taking all their sins and

Win the reindeer games
Goddamn hounds
They’re looking at us now
No sense of town
So we flip em upside down
Jestas know there’s
Snowhere to go
(I dream of a white Xmas)
The Jestas in town have blown out the hounds
And all we gotta do is pick up the crown
A left hand lust, A right hand trust
The losers in town are dying on us
Goddamn hounds
They’re looking at us now
No sense of town
So we flip em upside down
