FREE:
You got just what you wanted
now you don’t want what you got...
Free
You are free
to do whatever we want
you will live
like an idiot savant
in a cage
that we made with your fists
but you're free
to do whatever we wish
You are blessed
some aren’t as lucky as you
you should thank god
that we take care of you
keep you locked up
safe and tight in a box
but you see
there’s no keys for these locks
If you want your pretty little toys
if you want your pretty little noises
you want your circuses and clowns?
then shut the fuck up
and kneel the fuck down
You got just what you wanted
now you don’t want what you got...
You are perfect
just the way that you are
all except for
your imperfections and scars
you must change
or you can never be sold
you're too plain
you're too flawed
you're too young
you're too old
You’re too beautiful
to be anything else
than an ornament
that we keep on a shelf
so hush now and let us
do as we please
to keep you safe
from these creeping
and crawling diseases
If you want your pretty little toys
if you want your pretty little noises
you want your circuses and clowns?
then shut the fuck up
and kneel the fuck down
You are free
free at last
free from history and past
free to strain
at your leash
but the die's been cast
If we’re free
as a bird in the sky
then how come we don’t fly?
Thank god I’m Free
Thank god I’m Free
But if I’m Free
Then how come I don’t fly
Away from you

Echo Chamber

Echo Chamber.
These ears fell deaf
because I
felt so aligned with
all we'd ever said
I forgot to
discover and become
what I would make of me
If I had just begun
This echo chamber
Just needs one more wall smashed down
And we can take it
Echo Chamber
This premise is
so intuitive
but now we've expressed it
what do we make of it?
This echo chamber
Just needs one more wall smashed down
And we can take it
goddamnit
just needs one more wall smashed down
and we can break it
goddamnit
In the middle
Of a complacent majority
I'll be the rebel
and deny your authority
In the middle
of the sound of the sound of the sound of consent
I'll be the rebel
and this countering voice will not relent.
Do you see what I see
say what I say
we repeat then replay
echo the lies
until they become too loud to deny
I’m torn between
these civil lines
and the urge to scream
do I
wait for the world to waken
or swing this hammer and start breakin’?
of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound....
This echo chamber
just needs one more wall smashed down
and we can take i
well goddamnit
just needs one more wall smashed down
And we can break it
God
Damn
It

TOUCH:
======
Don't you fucking touch me
Get out of my space
I will fuck up your face
If you
touch me
You are not meant to be
where I don't want you
which is near me
Don't you fucking touch me
Get the fuck out of my face
out of this space
your pig ignorance don’t
justify your actions
he who inflicts himself on the unwilling
is nothing
but a
disease
Don't you fucking touch me
I will fuck you up
I will shit on
your grave
If you touch me
Get out
Get out
Don't you fucking touch me
Get the fuck out of my face
out of this space
your pig ignorance don’t
justify your actions
he who inflicts himself on the unwilling
is nothing
but a
disease
I came not into the room
To look good in it for you
I came not into the world for you
Back the fuck off!
Back the fuck off. Fuck off!
Don't you fucking touch me

Doll

DOLL
She is haunted by her shadow
scared of what’s outside her window
She lives inside this other
Hides inside another shell
This living hell, another skin
Forgotten girl living within
The mirror lies and she’s inside
clawing, screaming
I don’t want you
I don’t need you
you are not what I want to be
Take you
break you
remake you
then fake you
starve you
feed you
cut you
carve you
bleed you
Sold and controlled and remoulded
'til the self has imploded
Bow to the pressure
the pressure
I will not be your
Russian doll
I will not be your
Russian doll
I will not be your fucking doll
She is slowly tearing this away
skinning the layers that you’ve made
burning the pieces of your game
no more will you pick and choose
what she can do, what she can be
for she has now broken free
no more will you define me
I don’t want you
I don’t need you
You are not what I want to be,
Take you
break you
remake you
then fake you
starve you
feed you
cut you
carve you
bleed you
Sold and controlled and remoulded
'til the self has imploded
Bow to the pressure
the pressure
I will not be your
Russian doll
I will not be your
Russian doll
I will not be your fucking doll
I am I
wake the clones and
break the lines
I will kill your lie
I will not be defined by you

Rising Tide

Rising Tide
=========
I’m watchin water rising
down the river of denial
I’m watchin water rising
over your smile
I’m watchin water rising
down the river of denial
I’m watchin water rising
over your smile
The tide is lappin’ at your back door,
said you’re gonna wait for
more proof from the press corp
sorry to interrupt your party
the water's up to halfway
but keep sippin’ your latte
I wouldn’t wanna cramp your deathstyle
give a little pig smile
just adjust the temp dial
This scene is melting like a Dali
you're sweating like it’s Bali
the heat hits you like Ali
The mining maggots took the high ground
watching while you meltdown
leave you floating face down
So safe upon a first world throne
drowning third world homes
punching through the ozone
They made a killing institution
selling you solutions
to their own pollution
Don’t wanna upset the cash cow
heat is rising, my how
people drop like flies now,
Insane end-game
Russian roulette you play
I can't let you
sell the whole world away
I’m watchin water rising
down the river of denial
I’m watchin water rising
over your smile
Here comes another death summer
Looks a lot like karma
Hits you like a coma
Ain’t no more ice for your cocktails
Guess it’s time to set sail
off to catch the last whale
Champagne in the moon light
Sipping while the reef dies
Watch it going bone white
We keep living like a tourist
ignorance is poison
denial and hubris
When the wings of the last bee
cease to beat we’ll be
nothing but a memory
So good night, little primate
Guess you sealed your fate
Time to watch the waves break
The boat is leaving, wave it bye bye
Better learn to float
before we hit the high tide
It’s time to sink, swim or bail
you're either hanging on the cross
or you're banging in the nails
Insane end-game
Russian roulette you play
I can't let you
sell the whole world away
I’m watchin water rising
down the river of denial
I’m watchin water rising
over your smile
Air keeps burning
Tide keeps rising
There’s always more bodies
on the horizon
My heart is melting
Your heart is saved
My home is slipping
under the waves
Another bird
Another leaf
Another soul
Another's grief
Another break
in the link
Another one
now extinct
Another heart
Another breath
Another life
Another death
Just fuel
for the fire
to fulfil
our desires

New Skies

New Skies
Where cells divide
and stars collide
we are born ancient
every single time
scale, blood, bone, skin,
the more we go out
The more we go in
and begin again
speaking in tongues
sleeping in suns
riding blood back to the seed
chasing stars
and tracing scars
cutting black holes till they bleed
the light inside
no more defined
this is the ride
that blows your mind
Take me back to
new Skies
where we fly
new Skies
Where we shine
We’re made of dirt
We’re made of stars
so ignite the spark
and kill the dark
swim, crawl, walk, fly
I'm the evolver
so reach for the sky
Like space unfolds
The scene retold
to songs the chaos brings
The butterfly
looks to the sky
and raises up it’s wings
seeds in the fire
always rise
the black holes close
open your eyes
Take me back to
new skies
where we fly
new skies
Where we shine
new skies
where we fly
new skies
where we shine

Tyrant
I am the fictional
representation of
your inhuman desire to watch
people suffering
for disagreeing
with your ideas of control
You invented me
said I created you
and if I'm so fucking awesome then I
need some sacrifice
You think paradise
is a place for those who don't suck my
Infinite dick
Humans, you make me sick
Kill your son, sell your daughter
Keep the heathens poor
Do not spare the rod
I am The Lord, your god
Suffering, ass-kissing,
I just want more
I shall never tire
of my threat of fire
Burning and churning in molten agony.
I am the summary
of your inequity
I am your father
your killer
your prodigy
One day you'll suffer my desire to burn you.
Tyrant
Kill the infidels
send them straight to hell:
my dungeon of torture, my pit of pride.
If you don't worship me
I shall not set you free
Sycophant robots, I said free, I lied
I will dominate
Omnipotent, omni-hate
Fear equals love equals duty is pain
You're all pawns in this
masturbatory bliss
ego-stroking celestial game.
Infinite mercy
is infinite pain.
"Morality" is not my fucking name.
It's "jealous"
its "Yahweh"
its "Allah"
its "Jesus".
Keep on with the slaughter:
the smell of blood pleases
I came not to bring peace but a sword
I am the torturer.
I am the Lord
Kill your brothers and
kill your cousins
The punch line is when you die you will get nothing
I am fictional
I am fictional
I am fictional
I am pretend
Tyrant
No gods no masters
I am fictional
I am pretend

In The Red (2019)

In THE RED:
=========
The voice when the poor sing "No fucking more!"
The voice when the poor sing "No fucking more!"
The voice when the poor sing "No fucking more!"
This is the hammer and piston
This is a fist in this system
If you think this is a metaphor
then you ain't fuckin' listening
This is a mantra
a rant, a chant
from a voice in dissent
'cause I ain’t swallowin' or followin'
these hollow incantations of exploitation
that they keep advocatin’
built upon false foundations
based upon sweatshop nations
I say don’t wear it down
tear it down
Take the wealth, share it 'round
Without workers, you see,
there’d be no societies to be found
The rich keep theivin'
but they’d have us believin’
that it’s fair
that the lions share goes to those who
have no need for it
and babies are starvin'
while they’re carvin' brand names in their back
and you wonder why I say
“Turn and attack”,
Hell yeah I’m a socialist
You know this by the way my words flow
This ain’t no joke
and every word that I’ve spoken’ll show this
Capitalism is a prison of greed
Fuck what they want
I’m interested in what the whole world needs
We’re the left
We’re the red
We’re the noise
in your head
We’re the voice
when The poor sing
sing "No fuckin' more!"
This is the sound
of it all comin’ down
of it all comin’ down
See they say
"Just start as you mean to go on"
Well I don't mean to go on
but until this war's won
There's no justice in the U.S.A
Iraq or Australia
In Cuba or China or Venezuela.
Are you leftist or rightist
blackest or whitest
a writer, a fighter
CIA or Al Qaeda?
Capitalist?
Socialist?
Feminist?
Pacifist?
More hardcore than a
fist full of anarchists?
Out in the street bringin' heat
with the molotov,
'til they send the dogs along
to knock our blocks off
Passive resistance
or violent insistence
well, brothers and sisters
I don't think they're hearin' us
Time to up the ante
in the cities and the shanties
Show the “balance of power”
ain’t with the few
It’s with the many
Black
Brown
White
United is the key
'til there ain't no power like the
Power Of The People
We’re the left
We’re the red
We’re the noise
in your head
We’re the voice
when The poor sing
"No fuckin' more!"
This is the sound
of it all comin’ down
of it all comin’ down
There ain't no power like the
power of the people
the voice when the poor sing
"No fucking more!"
There ain't no power like the
power of the people
the voice when the poor sing
"No fucking more!"

BREAK

BREAK:
You tore
You tore at my skin
Tall poppy
you didn't bring me down
to your level
you don't understand
one face is all I have
don't play
I don't play this game
sticks, stones
ain’t gonna break these bones
You drained
were like a leech on me
but no more of me will I give
I won’t break
I won’t be weakened by you
I won’t shy
away from what I must do
I won’t break
I’ll keep on kicking through
I won’t shy
away from what I must do
I saw
saw through all your masks
your facade
well it broke like glass
shards and splinters
left embedded in you
with not one piece
left in me
History
is all your are to me
lies come
unbound
Bury you like a memory
six feet straight down
I won’t break
I won’t be weakened by you
I won’t shy
away from what I must do
I won’t break
I’ll keep on kicking through
I won’t shy
away from what I must do
You won't break me down again
You won't break me down 'cause Im
stronger than you
You won't break me down
I won’t break
I won’t be weakened by you
I won’t shy
away from what I must do
I won’t break
I’ll keep on kicking through
I won’t shy
away from what I must do

ROBOTS:
Turn on your tv
Turn on your opinion generator
Find out what you think today
Who's your new enemy?
Which celebrity should you imitate?
Which one is the in one?
What pseudoscientific nonsense can detoxify
can remove the creeping numbness?
What can you buy
To keep up with the lie?
Robots Robots Robots Robots
Look in my eye
Look at the screen
This is your dream
Look in my eye
Turn on your numb state
Increase your alpha waves
You'll be suggestible
So damned impressionable
It's cerebral anaesthetic
With small doses of outrage
It's okay
It's more comfortable inside the cage
These flashy images
Are inside of your home
That means that you own them, right?
So sleep with your fists tight
These people are your friends
They visit you every night
That means that they love you, right?
you'll sleep secure tonight
Robots Robots Robots Robots
Look in my eye
Look at the screen
This is your dream
Look in my eye
Media Feeding Ya
Greed Plants The Seed in Ya
Leading Ya, Bleeding Ya
Dry
Tellin yourself you’re Free
Eyes blinking mindlessly
head nodding to the beat
buy buy

Look in my eye

Look in my eye

Go Back To Sleep (2019)

|

GO BACK TO SLEEP-
Ladies and Gentlemen
this is a Hostage Situation.
Remain calm, do not attempt to leave your boxes
and don’t try to change the system
or there’ll be recriminations
We have your taxes and we’re not afraid to use them
We hold your rights and we’re not afraid to abuse them
We know where you live so put your hands above your head
and agree with everything we’ve ever done or said
Now vote for wars
now vote for pay cuts
you wanna keep that minimum wage job?
then keep your mouth shut
Get back in line
you're wasting time
you’re sick, hungry, tired?
not our problem, now you’re fired
Ladies and Gentlemen
this is a terrorist act
So lock your doors and windows
live in fear under the bed
one day the boogieman
just might attack
He could be yellow, brown
could be black or white
might be your friend, neighbour
husband or your wife
you can’t trust anyone
except for us of course
so buy a hundred guns
prepare to barricade your doors
stock up on fear, stock up on hate
watch only government approved TV
but wait, what’s that
sound near the window
someone is near
I hear shooting blood and sirens
oh my god the terrorists are here
Go back to sleep
Your government is in control
Watch more TV
look, here’s some little shiny toys
and here’s another war
to keep you all distracted
while you buy and buy
and never question why
Go back to sleep
Your government is in control
Go back to sleep
Your government is in control
Go back to sleep
Your government is in control
Buy the lie and never ever question why
tick tock
tick tock
what’s it gonna be
do we get bigger hearts
or bigger locks?
Time’s up
3 2 1
Those who swapped
freedom for security
get neither one
Ladies and gentlemen
it’s all a Socialist plot
and all these hippy, commie, union-loving
left-wing leaning, PC bleeding hearts
should be taken out and shot
All this free speech
is doing no-one any good
They’re saying what they want
not saying what they should
They're giving rights to women,
blacks and gays too?
poor people, all people
and it just won’t do
Where will it end?
where will it stop?
if everyone one has rights
who’ll work in our sweatshops?
Who’ll be our whipping boys?
Who’ll be our whores?
who’ll mop our floors?
who’ll fight our never ending wars?
Attention shoppers
This is a public service announcement
Due to the recent acquisition of your Countries
CEO’s will be replacing your Governments
time to get rid of all the
dead wood and free-loaders
there are no citizens
just tax payers, shareholders
we need profits to go up
wages to fall, so
you're either with us or
you’re up against the wall
We run the system
We brand your children
We own your nations now
you’re sponsored by the corporations
You wanted safety
You wanted wealth
well now you're free
to buy everything
except freedom itself
except freedom itself
except freedom itself
so
Go back to sleep
Your government is in control
Watch more TV
look, here’s some little shiny toys
and here’s another war
to keep you all distracted
while you buy and buy
and never question why
Go back to sleep
Your government is in control
Go back to sleep
Your government is in control
Go back to sleep
Your government is in control
Buy the lie and never ever question why
Get on your knees
and close your eyes
this is how it sounds
when freedom dies
Tick tock
tick tock
What's it gonna be
Do we get bigger hearts
Or bigger locks?
Go back to fucking sleep
