Hello
U must be the audience
I say that because I think U are listening
That must make me the narrator
Why?
Because U don't hear anyone else talking
Do U?
We've met before
Whether U recognize it or not
And I've come to know U quite well
U fixate on your imperfections
Every time U see your reflection
I know that somewhere in the back of your mind
Your body's oder is appealing
And I think U touched yourself
Before U got out of bed today
Have U ever met yourself?
Have U ever looked in the mirror
And really understood what's going on in that
Cheap suitcase of a body?
Would U like to?
This is you:
Ordinary
Brilliant
Beautiful
Ugly
Vegetarian
Carnivorous
U are what U are
Better or worse than everyone else
Isn't that the human goal?
To rise above the others?
Well
Give us the time to change that view
Let us into your head
Well see what we can do
It'll be the perfect trip
And it's quite medieval
Come meet new characters
Scary and evil
U may begin to feel
Uncomfortable
That's okay
Just let the music be the divide
Between world's real
And world's hidden
Maybe the kid's on acid are the first 1's to see
What the witch doctors claim to prophecy
But we've all stepped through a different door
Of reality

Good evening children
Let me make my way to center stage
Let me introduce myself
Take the time to say my name
I am waste
I'm here to kill U
Make it into stew
I am the hard winter
The acid rains
Living earth's pain
And I'll fuck your mother
And I'll drown U all
I'll fuck your mother
And drown U all
Oh yeah
Brazilian rains don't weep no more
Alligators at your door
Then one day the world will cease breathing
Then whatcha gonna do?
A whole lot of freaking
I am waste
I'm here to kill U
What U gonna do?
Down here at the zoo
The CO2
Is too fluffy for U
So let me ask U this
Don't cha have enough
Cows, cars and freezers
Don't cha have enough
Cows, cars and freezers
Cause the evil in me
I see in U
The more U burn me
The more I burn U

Top of the Pyramid
00:19
|
|||
|
Time is fleeting to carve the path
To save planet earth from my wrath
And if this concerns U or brings U worry
Then I'm the thing that you must rid
And U, U can take it up
At the top of the pyramid

These evils always speak in riddles
But change will be pointless if the planet is unlivable in 100 years
(HAHAHA)
Oh boy...
This one is a real character
They think they are a different type of person
A royal breed
(MMM DID SOMEONE SAY ROYAL, THAT MUST BE MY CUE)
(WHAT IS GOING ON HERE, WHO IS THIS DEGENERATE)
This...
This is the listener
(MMM THE LISTENER AT HOME, DON'T THEY KNOW TO BOW WHEN A PERSON OF POWER ENTERS THEIR MIND, THE PERSON OF HIGHER CLASS)
Oh yes of course
Go behind that curtain over there next to those mic cables
Let me talk to them
Psst...
Hey you
Listener
This evil is very insecure
Why don't we make them feel more powerful
And give them a round of applause
Ladies and gentlemen

I am your leader
The owner of your freedom
For a price U can live on this planet
That once was shared by the masses
And this is what we'll do
We'll say that U can vote
And turn your brains to glue
With something we all call the news
(What a blues)
But it's been violence free
Since a World War 3
Oops that was a secret for the
Illuminati
I'm the society U live in
That keeps the shoeless
Clueless
As to why U were paid in cents last week
While the fat cats
Sit on top of their towers
Well how do U like the air?
Well get used to it
Cause we're gonna smoke U out
With factories and nuclear power
(All aboard the acid hour)
So give an 8th of your wallet
In return I'll start a war
Does any of this make sense?
Cause it does to the 1%
(All your money spent)
Cause we own the sun
And everyone
Including U and your family
Yes your family
And all the streets and all the money
And all your favorite things
And then here's what we'll do
We''ll give U benefits
Like put U in a zoo
They're called retirement homes
(Oh dey, oh dey)
Now the symbolism I reveal
In this message
That an imbalance in power
Is and always will be evil
Cause we own the sun
And everyone
Including U and your family
Yes your family
And all the streets and all the money
And all your favorite things
Cause we own the sun
And everyone
Including U and your homies
Yes your homies
And all the streets and all the money
And all your favorite things
All all the streets and all the money
And all your favorite things
We own U
We own U
U belong to me
You’re not free

U
U are coming with me
I'm taking U to my pyramid where U can work for
Minimum wage
How does that sound?
(We don't like it)
Oh but how bout a vote?
To the listeners at home yes U
Can U raise your hand if U want to
Come to my pyramid and work for
Minimum wage
O, I see 1 vote
And I see another 1 over across the world
I see 3 more New York
20 votes Missouri
I see 50
I see 100,000,000 votes
U
You're all coming with me
For the rest of your life
U will remain behind these walls until U go insane
Here's your hammer
Start hacking away
Any thought of revolution
There'll be a price to pay

This is a song for the future

A time traveler in rags
Holding a hammer
Just like U
Dear creature
Who are U?

Human Race
02:56
|
|||
|
I am the human race
Including all of U sitting
The truth is there is only 1 of me
Cause race isn't real
There is only 1 human family
Who took it upon yourselves to label
And divide and pass it down through centuries
When in reality
U are all too special
And unique to be labeled
By the color of your skin or flag
U are all humans
And I love U
Now man made constructs aren't true
Cause if the world does not agree
It means it's in your head
Races in your head
Races in your head
Races in your head
Until
People are hurt
More people divide
Races in your head
Until the people subdue
To an ancient ideology
That was made to leverage power
But if we all come together
Come together in unity
I guarantee we'll all be accepted
Into a larger community
They've known about us
For a very very long time
And they want to involve us
In their intergalactic peace treaty
(Sebben, crudele)
(Sebben, crudele)
(Mi fai languir)
Curse this intelligent life up above
In the stars
But they don't want
To meet us
Till we defeated our egos
Now don't get me wrong
Cause U might be
Ego free
But your so called race
Plays part in someone
Else's superiority

Playground Hymn
01:22

U seem confused
U don't get it?
Every human on earth has descended from the same fish
That crawled out of the ocean millions of years ago
This is the human family
No, not culture or ethnicity
That's just geography
Race will only exist
When people are being hurt and divided for it
We are all unique
We are different from our ancestors
And we’re different from each other
And that’s a good thing
Just look
See how beautiful they are
How free

Root of All Evil
06:12
|
|||
|
There was a
Farmer
Miner
Shaman
Creator
Romantic
They were a family
That lived amongst the trees
And the flowers and the bees
And their cabinets
The farmer grew apples of
Golden grapes of lilac
Served all plates
And buckets of cognac
The miner found them
Jewels, diamonds and
O
Built the cabinets they resided in
Amongst the trees
And the flowers and the bees
And their towers
The shaman blew minds with potions
Healed wounds and hearts broken
Studied all theories and history
Made medicine for the foreign war
Wanting nothing in return
They helped the world learn
The creator gave them joy
By making good deeds and mystery
Songs so hauntingly
The romantic loved them all
Themselves and the world around them
Upon the mess was trickling in
The root of all evil
Came to put a spin on this hymn
Devined betrayal
It got into the farmer's head
To put food in boxes
And stores and shelves
For dollars and expenses
And grew the wheat so strangely high
The top is not seen by the ground bound eye
Grew so tall
The scarecrow couldn't guard it
Aviation ate it all
Before the harvest
The miner dug it's nose right
To the farmer
Greed made the decision to
Tell him what the earth is worth
And they sold rocks
Shines through them clear
The cost of the rocks were just
The root of all evil
Appeared in the air
Next was seen
In a psychedelic scene
The visions held by the shaman
And all what was fair
And from whom to care
And even them to take from their trust
The vision told a charged medicine
For the old, the young and the crazy
To give to the other 4 based on
Values that were unfair
And in the eyes of the universe
Were untrue
The root of all evil's hypnotics made
The creator's are bland and romantic
The paintings became ads
And the songs turned bad
And they were all sold for profit
The romantic found shade for themselves
And others in barns
Serials redefined their features
This tale is U
We're living in currently
It's been in front of our eyes
Since the dawn of humanity
The root of all evil
Is in your pocket

Quite a tale isn’t it
It’s amazing what a little cash flow can do to a person’s life
But what’s something more powerful than money?
Cancer?
Oh sure
Love?
How about God?
God is older
But what is God?
(IS IT MY TURN YET?)
A humble entrance for a grand old delusion

God
02:54
|

|
I am the thing
In your life U cannot control
U can call me God
Good evening
Death ends for me
And time moves for me
And space is ever expanding
For me to live
Oh so comfortably
In the early days of humanity
People afraid of my fatality
So they created religions in spite of me
Cause every living thing
Knows I'll take their life
At the end of the day
As the years went by
The confidence grew
That there is a heaven
Or a Moksha
Or Allah
Now I deem God
Know the truth
That it's all a spoof
And power is the root
And wars are fought
The defied my people
Even though no matter what
My morals
Were made the same
And U treat people
Differently cause of stories passed down
When U can praise me
Uniquely
I am the things U cannot control
U can call me God

(THINK ABOUT IT)
(TAKE THE TIME)
(MY STANDARDS AND MORALS CAME FROM YOUR)
(GRANDMOTHER'S MOTHERS)
(BUT 1 MIND IS PLENTY TO MAKE THE IDEAS)
(THAT CHANGE HOW OPINIONS ARE WRITTEN)
God really is the collected minds of the people
Religions are just how we translate and personify
The forces of nature we wish to control
Wouldn’t U agree?
Now
On with the show
Can U tell me what I have in my hand?
Oh, silly me U can't see me
Well, it's a globe
U know what that is
Are all the lines on this globe predetermined?
Where U can and cannot explore
Who decided this?
Well, let's all huddle in
Make ourselves cozy

Share Your Earth
05:27

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

Joel Christ

The lines we created are turning into walls
Just look out your window, walls stacked up tall
The Earth belongs to everyone, and none of us alike
We can’t divide, and let our pride keep us fighting the wrong fight
These ancient constructs we don’t have to abide by
Keeping our people in and those people, left to die
Because we are a future people who can think for ourselves
Not follow Columbus or Attila the Hun's fun
That reminds me
We're on to number 7
The oldest and the darkest
A character right out of the early ages
As soon as living things come into the picture
This evil was standing there, holding a mirror
(I AM THE 7TH EVIL)
(THE EVIL OF THEFT)
(NOT THE THEFT OF COMMODITY OR MATERIAL OF COURSE)
(STEALING THINGS IS NOT EVIL)
(BUT STEALING SEX AND LIFE IS)
(THIS IS MY DUNGEON, NOW MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE)
(I HAVE A SONG TO SING)
(THEN YOU’LL SEE)
(THAT I’M SO EVIL YOUR DOG CAN SMELL IT)
(SEE WHAT I MEAN)

7th Evil
02:21
|

Murder
And rape
Is evil
And I am not evil
And U could never be
Evil
But let me tell U
What it's like
To be evil
The taking of a life for love
Is so normal for me
It's as daily as brushing teeth
Or fixing tea
I'm incapable of changing
My mind
My way of thinking
Is set in time
Murder
And rape
Is evil
To U
Cause to me it is
A right of way
Turning U
Into monsters
So go out
And kill a lady
And rape a man
Because it only makes me
Stronger
The taking of a life for love
Is so normal for me
It's as daily as brushing teeth
Or fixing tea
I'm incapable of changing
My mind
My way of thinking
Is set in time
Well it comes so naturally
A surge of inspiration
To commit those bodies to
A permanent scar
I'm as natural as the dancing lily
Or the pollenated bee
Rape and murder are in my blood
Just like hate and jealousy
Are in U
|

Gong Song
00:53
|

|
Are in U
Are in U
Are in U
U hear that?
The air in your lungs that we all share
The same air breathed by the mothers of your fathers
Do U hear how it writes a song?
The song sung for centuries
Telling of our good and evil
The song sung for every breath of every day
Until U breathe no more
The aware 1's are catching on
But for those who aren't
We have another song
But this 1
Is by U
|
||||
20. |
It's U
03:27
|
|||
|
I'm U
I'm U
I'm all the things U do
Cause money is what we use
To play the game
How much U have
And how much U save
Decides what class you're in
At the end of the day
Culture's what sets the bar
Ya make your own
And you will go far
Just close your eyes
And you'll see what I mean
Because there's a world
In your mind
It goes infinitely in and out
Go home you'll see
What I'm talking about
(It's the narrator)
U
I'm U
(Listen up to the narrator)
Natural, beautiful and rude
My beliefs
They must be right
I wouldn't believe them if they weren't
Right?
And my family could never be
Your family
Cause we could never
Live as 1 human family
The 7 evils are part of the plan
You practice them daily
That makes U the man
Why not hop on the other side of the fence
Of your mind
Because there's lots to unwind
There's a many of wires to cut
But what your parents
Told U is a must
And what your teachers say
Is the root of happiness
(All happiness)
And U would never
Bite the hand that feeds U
O a last
U were feeding yourself the whole time
Breakthrough
Breakthrough
This world was made for you
To roam the plains as U need
Not for owners to shackle your feet
Take all your time and money
And set yourself free
(Going up, up, up)
U
I'm U
(Ayo)
Stupendously crude
(You're crude)
Better off nude
(I think that means naked)
Always in the mood
(Sex)
But just didn't seem to get it right
|

21. |
Did U Agree?
02:01
|
|||
|
So U are the 8th evil
It’s not your fault
You’ve been born without consent into the deep end of
Modern man made constructs
Did U agree to these systems?
Did U agree on who owns what land or what
Gender, race, and culture U must abide by?
Did U agree on money being equal in importance
To food and water?
Did U agree to this?
No
Do U everyday continue to practice these systems?
Well that’s for U to decide
People set in their ways by age or subjective intelligence
May find it harder to rethink and relive
Your cynicism may be what prevents the magic
For those who want to go deeper
We only ask one thing of U
U must remember a time before U knew who U were
U must remember a time before U knew who U were
A time before your parents, teachers, friends and more
Influenced your morals and standards
Forget all the rules of the game we constantly compete in
But refuse to acknowledge
|

Rattle Satan to Sleep

If we all come together
Come together in unity
I guarantee we’ll all be accepted
