Underneath
Faces so brave
Trace my face
With lines of rage
Patriot on patriot
Each stand the last
Revenge panic porn
Losers fall fast

No solution
No solution
No solution at all
No solution
No solution
Cold civil war
No solution
No solution
No solution at all
No solution
No solution
Cold civil war
My utopia your oppression
Your bounty my recession
Never to meet halfway there
I am the problem, you don't care
Fight not for colors
Fight not for kings
Fight not for room to live
Not for tangible things
Fight for states of mind
Fight for crowd control
Fight to inculcate
Hypothetical souls
No solution
No solution
No solution at all
No solution
No solution
Cold civil war
No solution
No solution
No solution at all
No solution
No solution
Cold civil war

To keep them out
Now the wall
Will keep you in

I will kiss the face you punch
You will tell me I'm not wel
My fellow Americans
Tell me kindly go to hell
What difference does it make
When every question is a take
Conformity cheered
Altars built of fear

Tell the truth
Cross your tooth
Cloak of care
Mask of dare
All is done
Job is one
Root it out
And pile on
DIY
GFY
Gave yourself
There is no try
DIY
GFY
Think again
One and one makes lie

Capitalism World
04:02
|
|

You do not want me
But I will introduce myself
Dressed like Che Guevara
With a CEO’s wealth
Goalposts on my back
But the game stays the same
The currency will change
But transactions will remain
Whatever you imagine
Is whatever it will take
Whatever you call truth
Is whatever can be baked
Prepare to buy and sell
No matter what your hell
In the race to rise above
Doesn’t matter what you love
Ain’t you doomed to be blessed to live
Ain’t you blessed to be doomed to live
In my capitalist world
In my natural world
In my fallen world
No one ever in possession
Of everything they need
They must buy with money
Or earn with fealty
Profit not always dollars
Greed not always for wealth
Spiritual capital priced out
For home and food and health
Pretend it’s invented
Pretend that it was forced
Force a cosplay revolution
But you know who’s in control
Of the currency of coins
And the currency of votes
Currency of compliance
Commodity of staying afloat
Ain’t you doomed to be blessed to live
Ain’t you blessed to be doomed to live
In my capitalist world
In my natural world
In my fallen world
Things will never be
The way you think they should
Every master picks a master
Master picks a victimhood
Cronies taking the high places
Constructing the safe spaces
Together standing tall
Until the day I make you fall
Underneath all the labels
They’re ignoring all the fables
The glorious class struggle
Is just one more reshuffle
Another bankruptcy
And another restructure
New flags are flying
They're saluted by the vultures
Ain’t you doomed to be blessed to live
Ain’t you blessed to be doomed to live
In my capitalist world
In my natural world
In my fallen world
Ain’t you doomed to be blessed to live
Ain’t you blessed to be doomed to live
In my capitalist world
In my natural world
In my fallen world
Ain’t you doomed to be blessed to live
Ain’t you blessed to be doomed to live
In my capitalist world
In my natural world
In my fallen world

Right to Hate
02:01
|
|
||
You have the right to hate
And not be put away
And they to hate back
Free from deadly attack
The contents of your brain
Labelled a crime
Gather up the votes
Turn it to your time
It's a sin to hate
Not a crime to hate
To just sit back and wait
For the appointed date
Claim your right to hate
Before you act on hate
Think of those who you'd see die
Forever being enshrined

At War For Science
00:15

Galileo Galilei
Lies a-moldering in his grave
His truth is on life support
Consensuses fire retorts
My experts can beat up yours
Killed by guns which yours whored for
At the mercy of the death counters
Throw up crap that rebounders
Science is opinion
Science is religion

Herod

Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die
Nobody questions the
Predestination of
Precious percentage set
For annihilation for
The latest despot of
God's chosen nation that
Forsook sacrifice for
Another incantation
Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die
Night pathway fled they
Tight south to Egypt way
And those behind did stay
To darkness of the day
Later what did they pray?
And in their olden days
Thirty-odd years away
Did they come face to His face?
Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die
Did they know that it was
For Him their own were torn?
The Son's face before them
Could it have been their own?
If they knew that somehow
That they died in His place
Would they accept that He
Would then go die in their place?
Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die

Badass

This world thinks it's a badass
This world thinks it's a troll
Presidents and oppositions
Two halves of the same hole
Speak loudly but don't try
Signal virtue and get on by
Everyone's punk or so they vie
Tossing memes out soon to die
Shade to the atheists
Quicken their condemnation
A shade for a shade
Hastening the desolation
The royal handlebar 'staches
Played their garden parties well
Blind to five years later
Everybody took the L
Conquest is conquered
The victory rings hollow
Governments in bankruptcy
Seek force to replace follow
You think you’re badass
You think you’re savage
You’re really just afraid
Like all of us who would ravage
This world thinks it's a badass
This world thinks it's a troll
Scientists and politicians
In the robes of priests and popes
You think you’re badass
You think you’re savage
You’re really just afraid
Like all of us who would ravage

The only side of history
For all of us is six feet deep
Two sides to eternity
Promises to keep
History counts the bodies
Jesus counts the souls
Regardless of theologies
And pretense of control

The Last President
03:47
|
|
||
Do you remember your mother’s face
The children read on forgetting their place
Walking the aisles, avoiding the eyes
Flatscreens declaring the truths from the lies
Minds over masks closed to unease
I find I lose track of the latest disease
The empty trains are all running on time
Science mouths spells while the world falls in line
And the last president a death mask made of clay
Words like self evident just edgy things to say
And the first documents got amended away
And the hands of the free clenching cold in the grave
And the last President a death mask made of clay
And the new parliament courts with an unseen face
Sit with nothing to do just to wait for the day
When all the secret things are shouted from Hades
Everyone’s a Nazi
Given the right target
