Idle Dreams (direct download)
What I watch is what I know
Cribs is the best TV show
It tells me what to have and wear
I wish I could live over there
- I sit on my couch and I dream
- Travels are fun it would seem
- TV shows me what's out there
- I never get out and why should I care?
This show's about a fancy car
It could take me really far
It looks really fast and mean
I can drive it when I dream
- I sit on my couch and I dream
- Travels are fun it would seem
- TV shows me what's out there
- I never get out and why should I care?
Cold pizza for breakfast and Wheaties for dinner
I'm well aware that my prospects grow thinner
I sit in the dark and I bathe in the glow
in front of my friend who defines what I know
It don't mean a thing
with my remote I dream
As Far As You Go (direct download)
Skated in life, skills came easy, I have my things and I'm comfortable
Habits formed, replacing thought, routines made whitewash the rot
Marooned in life and that is as far as you'll go
and no further
That's as far as you'll go
Here I am, alone at last, free to replay all my past
Have no friends, Ignored them all, they didn't wait 'round for my fall
Marooned in life and that is as far as you'll go
and no further
That's as far as you'll go
Took so little to get this far
this place best seen from afar
stopped to rest and lost my way
rest of my life I'm here to stay
apathy numbs I cannot feel
the drive to strive to make wounds heal
I pass the blame and mourn my youth
I close my eyes and dodge the truth
That's as far as you'll go
It's as far as I'll go
That's as far as you'll go
Hoop Jumper (direct download)
Society today is comprised of two different types of people:
those who make the world a better place and those who make it worse
I am a special type of the latter.
I am a guy who makes even the simple tasks into a complicated soul crushing grind.
I was the one who came up with late fees at the library and the video rental.
Lines at the DMV? That was me.
Underpaid clerks with attitudes at the hospital or City Hall?
Forms filled out in triplicate with the proper stamps and signatures? I invented that.
I call it creating order from chaos.
I make it so a five minute errand becomes an all day affair of frustration and impatience,
designed to turn the happiest, most relaxed citizen into a creature of hate, malice and spite.
I am the one who tortures you
I am the one who angers you
I am the one who laughs at you
I am the one who turned you into a hoop jumper
I make sure your game has rules
with penalties and out of bounds
I'll destroy your sense of freedom
I'll turn you into a hoop jumper
I turn your fun into a chore
spontaneity into a job
creativity into proper process
turn you into a hoop jumper
turn you into a hoop jumper
turn you into a hoop jumper
a stupid little hoop jumper
I am the one who torments you
I am the one who beats you down
I am the one who ruins your day
I am the one who turned you into a hoop jumper
I destroy your agency
your spirit and driving desires
crush you with bureaucracy
small rules and tedious laws
I turn your fun into a chore
spontaneity into a job
creativity into proper process
turn you into a hoop jumper
turn you into a hoop jumper
turn you into a hoop jumper
obedient little hoop jumper
I am the one who strangles you
I am the one who plagues you
I am the one who hampers you
I am the one whoturned you into a hoop jumper
I rid you of will to live
Kick you when you're all ready down
Laugh at your petty misfortunes
I'll turn you into a hoop jumper
turn you into a hoop jumper
It's not your fault, really. To get things done you must do as I say.
Grow up, get old, trade in your imagination for a scorecard of small afflictions
heaped upon you by people like me, creating work for the sake of work, process for the sake of process.
There is no escape. There is no way out.
turn you into a hoop jumper
turn you into a hoop jumper
turn you into a hoop jumper
an ineffective hoop jumper
Pizza Revolution (direct download)
Fly by nite and sleep all day
Me and the fellas were out to play
picked up the phone, ordered up some food
little did we know that we'd get screwed
All I wanted was a fresh cooked pizza
Pep and mushroom, maybe extra cheese
It never showed, so here's my conclusion
What we need is a Pizza Revolution
Wait till dawn, finally go to bed
Where's the delivery guy? he's so dead
Got home drunk, couldn't wait to eat
When I'm hung over pizza can't be beat
All I wanted was a fresh cooked pizza
Pep and mushroom, maybe extra cheese
It never showed, so here's my conclusion
What we need is a Pizza Revolution
Some guy took my order and then then got high
Chef got baked and so did my pie
Driver smoked a spliff as he talked on the phone
got so stoned he drove straight home
I WANT MY FOOD!
I WANT MY FOOD!
I WANT MY FOOD!
I WANT MY FOOD!
I WANT MY FOOD!
Tear down your wood fired ovens
I WANT MY FOOD!
Tomato sauce runs red in the streets
I WANT MY FOOD!
Clouds of organic flour rise to the sky
I WANT MY FOOD!
Let's lynch the delivery guy
Electronic Aggression (direct download)
Saturday, you treated me so mean, I was about to crack, I was about to scream.
made fun of my clothes and my hair that I tinted green
Oh the things the I would tell you, the things that I would say.
but I didn't have the guts to say it directly to your face.
So I went home, yelled at my mom, fired up the PC and I put the Pistols on.
And now you're gonna get it, you're gonna get it good. I'm gonna tell you what a real man probably should.
I live in this little world that I built for myself, you all read my problems so I don't have to pay for help.
Oh yeah, gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
I'm gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
I'm gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
The words start pouring out like a kettle 'bout to burst,
you've seen the bad side of me but you're about to see the worst.
And all my friends will read just what I'm angry for, Yeah,
I'm gonna make sure because I am an attention whore.
Buddy, I don't need you, I have 81 friends, and let me tell you that I have met almost ten.
And I got a good woman, but I hope she never leaves, or else it is back to 6 more years of celibacy.
But if she ever does she's gonna learn her lesson as soon as she reads my electronic aggression.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
I'm gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
I'm gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
I don't tend to burn my bridges, but you stole your own TV, now I'm standing at the bridge with a flask of gasoline.
And now my lighter's lit, and here's a little tip, this flame is heading right straight for the internet.
But when I got home on Sunday all excited to log on, I was directed to a page with the lyrics to this song.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
I'm gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
I'm gonna learn you your lesson, with my electronic aggression.
Destroy the World (direct download)
To hell with the world, I’m so tired of caring
I’m living for myself, I’m giving up on sharing
Gonna get mine, here before the end
It seems all the common sense has gone around the bend
The world’s on the edge of going down the drain
DNA from the jungle hops right on a plane
Outbreak any time, holocaust for the having
Like the tension in a prison yard right before a stabbing
Living in this world, full of soot and grime
All this life of worry makes me lose my mind
Gonna breathe smoke, inhale it by the pound
Who cares about cancer if we’re not around
The world’s on the edge of going down the drain
He said, "You can’t be neutral on a moving train."
So I’ll jam that throttle forward and stare death in the eye
In a violent crash I’ll go with flames up to the sky
Endless supply? Gonna waste it all
In an orgy of consumption, myopic till I fall
Into this vat of sludge our planet has become
Gonna embrace the future. No longer will I run
Let’s destroy the world
Destroy the world
Let’s destroy the world
Destroy the world
Let’s destroy the world
Destroy the world
Let’s destroy the world
Destroy the world
