1. Modern Man1:58

   Letra

   I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to do, All om my neruons are Functioning smoothly Yet still I'm a cyborg just like you, I am one big myoma that thinks, My planet supports only me, I've got this one big problem: will I live forever? I've got just a short time you see, Modern man, evelotionary betrayer, Modern man, ecosystem destroyer, Modern man, destroy yourself in shame, Modern man, pathetic example of earth's organic heritage, When I look back and think, When I ponder and ask "why?", I see my ancestors spend with careless abandon, Assuming eternal supply, modern man..., Just a sample of carbon-based wastage, Just a fucking tragic epic of you and i
2. Turn On The Light1:24

   Letra

   I had a friend who kept a candle in his pocket, He used to touch it when the wind was blowing high, I guess it mad him feel like he could Buck the system and when it flickered out we laid him down to die, Turn on the light, turn on a million blinding brilliant white Incendiary lights, a beacon in the night, i'll burn relentlessly until My juice runs dry, i'll construckt a rock of tempered beams and Trusses and equip it with a million tiny suns, i'll install upon the Roof on my compartment and place tinfoil on my floor and on my walls Then i'll turn on the light...

3. Get Off1:43

   Letra

   Lascivious, it's all that I can think of as I drag my feet, searching Lika a diogenes, dangerous, the adjectives of the decasde and of your Alluring intricacies, I cah see your green-screen mentality and I can Feel the sting of it's consequence, and I know I shouldn't but it's too Much to ignore, an emotion I deplore, every time I look at you, I just Want to do it, I can clench my fist right through it but I just want To get off, rectilinear, this direction we've been heading never Realizing we are on a runaway machine, angular, the momentum that does Turn us one step further on our ladder, one more turn toward the east, I realize your green-screen mentality and I know it is shared by many More, I know it is quite impossible but I am damned to find a way to Revolve the other way, every time I scrutinize I just say "screw it", We're on a ride down a blind conduit and I just want to get off

   Flying through a dark prismatic tunnel on a carousel, the earth is Turning and you know it very well, your mind is reeling lika ten Helicopters wheeling and you're gonna hit the ceiling lika a mallet on A bell, hey, blenderhead, they're starting to ask questions, your Transgressions ar a danger flashing sign, challenge conventions and Radiate your splendor and feel those flywheels curn your blenderhead, Tally up the gleaming ventured on a wishing well, each shining trinket H as a story it can tell, your moments pining like those tales all Intertwining can become the rusted lining of a deep neglected shell, Hey, blenderhead, you ask so many questions, your confusion's a life- Affirming sign, break from tradition and carry on with valor and feel Those flywheels churn you blenderhead
5. The Positive Aspect Of Negative Thinking0:57

   Letra

   Let's gather 'round the carcass of the old deflated beast, We have seen it through the accolades and rested in its lea, Syntactic is our elegance, incisive our disease, The swath endogenous of ourselves will be our quandary, We've nestled in its hollow and we've suckled at its breast, Grandiloquent in attitude, impassioned yet inept, Frivolous gavel our design, ludicrous our threat, Excursive expeditons leave us holding less and less, So what does it mean? When we tell ourselves it's only for a while we've been deceived And it's only for a moment that the treasures of our day Make life easier to complicate, the treasure thrown away, I'm so tired of all the fucked up minds Of all the terrorist religions and their bullshit lines, Of all the hand-me-downs from all industrial crimes All the weeping mothers and those who are led so blind, From the plastic protests and the hands of time And the pursuit of mirth and all hating kind
6. Anesthesia3:04

   Letra

   Everybody is talking about the girl who went and killed the delivery man, But she looks so kind and gentle, it just doesn't stand to reason, I saw her right there just like the other night as stately as a slot machine, But when she looked my way something mad as hell came over me, Anesthesia, mona lisa, i've got a little gun, here comes oblivion, I never loved you, how did you find me? the cops will never prove complicity now, Anna..., all good children go to heaven! I remember your face that august night when we lied about the beautiful time to come And that crazy old man who came much too late and caused a chain reaction, I've been hanging out here for eleven long years like a church mouse wondering where the cat has gone, And looking at you now is driving me to distraction. Anesthesia, mona lisa, i've got a little gun, here comes oblivion, I never loved you, how did you find me? the cops will never prove complicity now, Anna..., all good children go to heaven!
7. Flat Earth Society2:23

   Letra

   Lie lie lie... the full moon is rising over dark water and the fools Below are picking up sticks and the man in the gallows lies Permanently waiting for the doctors to come back and tend to him, the Flat earth society is meeting here today, singing happy little lies And the bright ship humana is sent far away with grave Determination... and no destination, lie lie lie... yeah, nothing Feels better than a spray of clean water and the whistling wind on a Calm summer night but you'd better believe that down in their quarters The men are holding on for their dear lives, the flat earth society is Somewhere far away, with their candlesticks and compasses and the Bright ship humana is well on it's way with grave determination... and No destination, lie lie lie, ad inifinitum
8. Faith Alone3:40

   Letra

   Heard a sermon from a creaky pul pit with no one in the nave I paid a visit to the synagogue and I left there feeling blame No one could tell me what to do, they had not the capacity to answer me What the world needs now is some answers to our problems We can't buy more time 'cause our tender isn't valid If your soul needs love you can get consoled by pity But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more Watched the scientists throw up their hands conceding, "progress will resolve it all" Saw the manufacturers of earth's debris ignore another green peace call No one could tell me what to do, no one had the ability to answer me What the world needs now is some accountability We can't buy more time 'cause time won't accept our money If your soul needs love you can always have my pity But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more... What the world needs now is some answers to our problems We can't buy more time 'cause our tender isn't valid What the world needs now is some accountability If your soul needs love you can get consoled by pity But faith alone won't sustain us anymore Faith alone won't sustain us anymore [to fade]
9. Entropy2:24

   Letra

   Random blobs of power expressed as that which we all disregard, Ordered states of nature on a scale that no one thinks about, don't Speak to me of anarchy or peace of calm revolt, man, we're in a play Of slow decay orchestrated by boltzmann, it's entropy, it's not a Human issue, entropy, it's matter of course, entropy, enegery at all Levels, entropy, from it you can not divorce and your pathetic moans Of suffrage tend to lose all significance, extinction, degradation; The natural outcomes of our ordered lives, power, motivation; Temporary fixtures for which we strive, something in our synapses Assures us we're ok but in our desequilibrium we simply can not stay, It's entropy..., a stolid proposition from a man unkempt as I, my Affectatious I can not rectify, but we are out of equilibrium Unnaturally, a pang of conciousness at death and then you will agree
10. Against The Grain2:09

    Letra

    Three thousand miles of wilderness overcome by the flow, a lonely Restitution of pavement, pomp and show, I seek a thousand answers, I Find but one or two, I maintain no discomfiture, my path again Renewed, against the grain, that's where i'll stay, swimming upstream, I maintain against the grain, here labelled as a lunatic, sequestered And content, there ignored and defeated by the government, ther's an Oriented public who's magnetic force does pull, but away from the Potential of the individual, against the grain..., the flow is getting Stronger with smaller increments of time and eddies of new ideas are Increasingly hard to find, you need all that the other has, it is your Right to seize the day, but in all your acquisitions you will soone be Swept away, against the grain..., there's a common consensus and a Uncomfortable cheer, a reverberating chorus that anyone can hear, it Sings "leve your cares behind you, just grab tenaciously", this Lulling sense of purpose will destroy us rapidly, against the grain...

12. God Song1:38

    Letra

    And did those feet in ancient times trod on america's pastuers of Green? And did that anthropocentric god wane with their thoughts and Beliefs all unseen? I don't think so, he's up there with the others Laying low, vying with those who you've traded your life to to bless Your soul, and have they told you how to think, cleansed your mind of Sepsis and automony? Or have you escaped scrutiny, and regaled Yourself with depravity? Now we all see, "religion is just synthetic Frippery, unnecessary in our expanding global cultural efficiency" and Don't you fear this impasse we have built to our future? Ever so near, And oh so austere

    So proud a history, replete with sanctity, orbs in their harmony, they Sing their code to me, have you ever heard yourself the orbit that you Are in?

16. Quality Or Quantity1:34

    Letra

    Offer me eternity, and i'll trade a cup of coffee and a dime, looking For a handout on behalf of those who have so little time, but who Wants to live on just 70 cents a day? Padding your pockets doesn't Make this a better place, "cereal and water" is a feast for some you Say, your price-tag on existence can't cover your double face, quality Or quantity: a choice you have to make, dipping in the icing, bringing Home the largest turkey from the field, breaking all the piggy banks, Scooping up the booty, licking all the right holes, bolstering the Payroll, why reduce life to a dollar amount per day? And why let the World think this is the american way?

    Shut off the T. V. And peel off those sunday gloves, and i'll stain the Clean that you've been counting, old mr. Fletcher passed by here Today, after 40 years of toil he just stood up and walked away, Fantastic the panic that showed in his eyes, he shrugged when I asked Him about it, he said "young man pay heed, you listen well to what I Say, now there comes a time for a man to walk away", walk away, i'll Be a parade, and i'll be determined that no one shall dissuade on my Way, i'll sure take some time to burn all the bridges that I'm leaving Behind, he passed by again and he was shivering from the cold, I'm not Sure but I think that he was trying, he told me about the weather and Something old to pay, "but tomorrow", he said, "i'm gonna surely walk away"
