Like a Parakeet

Take all of your banners down
your buttons and pins make you act a clown
I don't like your political beliefs
so I send out a tweety tweet tweet
like a fucking
Parakeet
Genuflect like an idiot
You smell of ash and stale incense
I don't like your religious beliefs
so I send out a tweety tweet tweet
like a fucking
Parakeet
Your hobbies are asinine
and you have a simple mind
I don't like who you happen to be
so I send out a tweety tweet tweet
like a fucking
Parakeet

There's something about Hauntology
There's something about false memories
There's something about the consumer in me
and Marx get's fucked in the ass
I watch the Tube of You
Your play count just to click on thru
Fisher in death sang the blues
While Rand has a hard on of glass
Politically, can you tell where I'm at?
When I tell you the dead can come back?
Cancel your reality t.v.
there's something better as your kids can see
Tok Tik, the boy with sweet tits
anime dances to your favorite playlist

That Sublime Lie
04:20
|
|||
Excruciating noise
Cacophony on display
Climb up on the bleachers
Enjoy the grand parade
A crooner with his backing band
bellows, bays and shouts
supports the politician
whom panders to the lout
A sense of beauty is what I
need in my life
that sublime lie
A beautiful dream, had I
refuse to wake up
and face my life
Silently we argue
with banging clack of keys
yet, simulacrum begets the real
unleash shivaree
with edifice and monument
in ruin and defaced
thus begins the metamorphosis
of the whole damn human race
A sense of beauty is what I
need in my life
that sublime lie
A beautiful dream, had I
refuse to wake up
and face my life

Ghosts
02:41

I've seen ghosts out of
the corner of my eye
those wisps of spider webbing
and not the kind that have died
at least not death in the sense of...
biology as we know it
Take me to the room with clocks
so that I can wind back time
I'd like to compare then with now
'Cuz I have this suspicious sense that
these spectral mirrors
reflect a pale imitations
But I can't remember
No I can't remember
I cannot.....

Glorius Suburbia
02:58
|

There's a nice expanse of green
and row upon row of tress
lined upon the well lit street
There's the promise of safety
firefighters and police
and lovely neighbors
quiet and peace
It's suburban shit
just stupid shit
We can't get over it
It's suburban shit
just stupid shit
We can't get over it
But there's trouble
brewing on the horizon
That threatens our
Suburban Shit
It's suburban shit
just stupid shit
We can't get over it
It's suburban shit
just stupid shit
We can't get over it

The March Divide
01:48
|
|||
The time has come
to pick sides
I hope you chose yours
as did I
if you stray or
step aside
deceive you not, you'll be
left behind
Go take a walk you not
getting through
Our mutual concerns have
become taboo
Here's G*d and country
and there's the city
next time we meet we'll be
enemies
It is time

Don't slide your ass to the right
not unless you are the misogynist type
Don't slide your ass to the right
we will riot if you try
Don't slide your ass to the right
They're all racists who like to pick fights
Don't slide your ass to the right
We will riot if you try
Now let's all bow down to our G*d
Don't shake your ass to the left
Not unless you like government checks
Don't shake your ass to the left
We will shoot you in the head
Don't shake your ass to the left
They kill babies and worship Baphomet
Don't shake your ass to the left
We will shoot you in the head
Now let's all bow down to our G*d
Money, money, money, money, money......
People, people
listen to me
they are your enemy
they need to be destroyed
they cannot be reasoned with
if you attempt to speak with them
then you're fraternizing with the enemy
Do you hear me?
Listen to me, people!!!
The time for peace is over
and every single fucking last one of them
needs to have their skulls kicked in
and their livelihoods burned to the ground
tear the whole g*ddamn thing down
and salt the barren ground
and when you're good and satisfied
don't forget to visit the gift shop on your way out.
Now that the dust has settled
and my favorite team has won
my ceremonial robes
and insignia I don
'cuz there's something terrible
the payment has come due
you see they came for my soul
now they're coming for you
