Change 13:03
Who should we please? Who’s to believe? Who should we change for? Who could we be? When my race is done, how did I run? Did I par the course and pass the baton on? Vote with your feet Make company Form a military of peace and kill the king Be a citizen of planet earth Be a bigger man or woman ‘cause we all can change Change Change Change for its own sake Uniformity gave me a belly ache I want a mutiny My mind is awake finally Who could we be given equal opportunity? What could we see given equal chance to actually see change? Change Change Is this what we consider changing for the better? Maybe Is this what we consider changing? Ah, save me Is this what we consider changing for the better? Maybe Is this what we consider changing? I’m changing I’m changing Is this what we consider changing for the better? Maybe Is this what we consider changing? Change Is this what we consider changing? I’m changing I’m changing Is this what we consider changing? We’re changing pace Higher stakes So called heroes wearing fake capes Critically acclaimed Clinically deranged Push the buttons Keep on frontin’ ‘til they hear the thumpin Somethings coming up the hallway out of the left field lane Hey My stomachs turning from the vermin up-skirt observing power hungry Tryna draw the curtains from the public person but there ain’t no slicker villain thats deserving a serving on the killing floor Put ‘em on the chopping board for all to see I’m like a sniper hiding in the tower I’m picking them off one by one Gateway drug to the only solution Cutting out their tongues before they jump the gun I’m the like the cupid trying bring the love but you keep getting out of my range No strings on my bow with broken arrows Running low on ammo to make a change Buildings that you know People come and go Are a certain way Always are the same And then you get the news that obliterates your view Amputate your truths The significance has changed Hospital inane Meaningless and grey But lie within the walls and the significance will change What would it take for us to change the game? Maybe our existence is significance in vain The significance has changed Maybe our existence is significance in vain Buildings that you know People come and go Are a certain way Always are the same And then you get the news that obliterates your view Amputate your truths The significance has changed Hospital inane Meaningless and grey But lie within the walls and the significance will change What would it take for us to change the game? Maybe our existence is significance in vain What would it take to build an ark for me and my friends? Escape this old place with all that creeps and fish in the sea And all that flies and all the bugs inside of me Take all the good things and leave the human beings Da da da da da da da da da Burnin’ up Burnin’ up Burnin’ up Burnin’ up now Change Change

Hate Dancin' 03:16
I still hate dancing Oh I still hate dancing I still hate dancing Oh I still hate dancing Whatever you say Whatever you don’t say Whatever you say to me wont sway me She’s coming straight for me The worlds frozen I’m sweating I still hate dancing Oh I still hate dancing I still hate dancing Oh I still hate dancing Slow-mo at the disco and she’s putting out her hand to tango Oh no! Her hips are too close for comfort Now I’m losing control of myself What the hell is coming over me right now I feel like I’m about to freak out from the waist down No more caring about what other people think Let ‘em kick up a stink I might like dancing Oh I might like dancing I might like dancing Oh I might like dancing Whatever you say Whatever you don’t say Whatever you say to me is gonna swing me I was just joking I love it I was just kidding I love it I feel like dancing Oh I feel like dancing I feel like dancing Oh I feel like dancing I feel like dancing Oh I feel like dancing I feel like dancing Oh I feel like dancing I feel like dancing Oh I feel like dancing I feel like dancing Oh I feel like dancing

Astroturf 07:33
Everything’s dead here Covered with plastic Everything’s fluro Evergreen matter Gotta stop grass growin’ Cover that wormhole Gotta stop birds from shitting on my lawn When it don’t matter everything’s better Throwaway plates are better for business Everything’s easy Better for the earth is astroturf Six butterflies fluttered by Looked horrified “I just hatched from chrysalis I’ve only hours, 36 I need a mate to do my biz and this is where I will die Heartbreaking way to end I will cry on astroturf” Suitable texture Suitable colour Miniature forest Better than nature Makes me feel better knowing I won’t go out on my lawn and see an animal Everything’s sterile Even infertile Proud of my monster It’s never been straighter Dog shit heaven Better than the earth It's astroturf Six butterflies fluttered by Looked horrified “I just hatched from chrysalis I’ve only hours, 36 I need a mate to do my biz and this is where I will die Heartbreaking way to end I will cry on astroturf” Astroturfing Astroturfing Astroturfing... Better than the earth is astroturf Six butterflies fluttered by Looked horrified “I just hatched from chrysalis I’ve only hours, 36 I need a mate to do my biz and this is where I will die Heartbreaking way to end I will cry on astroturf”

No Body 03:42
I floated up and for the first time I could relax and unplug My friend, it felt good To shuffle off this mortal coil To rise like oil in water To be not real To have no soul To have no body I woke to an eye-adjusting fright Baptised in the light and found myself in purgatory white Dead again in the void What was the lesson, God? No, no, no, no body Are you real or not? No, no, no, no body In death I know life was a hallucination

Gondii 04:56
Human being domesticated Gondii’s in the amygdala Human being contaminated Living-murdered feline worshiper What it feels like is it feels like it’s dreamlike Can’t get a message to my brain I can’t control myself Can’t get a message to my brain I can’t control myself anymore What it feels like is it feels like it’s dreamlike Human being manipulated Gondii drizzles serotonin Human being lubricated Drowning in oxytocin Can’t get a message to my brain I can’t control myself Can’t get a message to my brain I can’t control myself anymore I’ve got oocysts inside my head I can’t control myself Can’t get a message to my brain I can’t control myself anymore So am I the bird or am I the worm? Do have I free will? Do have I free thought? Am I the chicken or am I the egg Have I liberty? Have I my wings? You shouldn’t fight it or deny it Just breathe in and embrace it Symbiotic Gondii choir sings a song of fuzzy minds So am I the dog or am I the cat? No, it’s neither one I am the rat Can’t get a message to my brain I can’t control myself Can’t get a message to my brain I can’t control myself anymore I’ve got oocysts inside my head I can’t control myself Can’t get a message to my brain I can’t control myself

Exploding golden sun Bursting radiation Get on your feet and run for the shelter A change is gonna come 8 minutes and 20 seconds Over before begun And all that was green is fire and dust And all that was blue has dried up And all that we knew has dropped off the edge of waterfalls What’s after Armageddon? Giant star A thousand tears Liquid moon A billion years Music of the brightest spheres A gong for remodelled frontiers Vibrates like the string of time Dissonant storyline The past and future intertwine The sun explodes at any time Exploding sun erupts Causing deadly destruction The time has come Redux Final endgame A burning fireball No more white dwarf Our sins to be absolved And all that was green is fire and dust And all that was blue has dried up And all that we knew dropped off of the edge of waterfalls What’s after Armageddon? Giant star A thousand tears Liquid moon A billion years Music of the brightest spheres A gong for remodelled frontiers Vibrates like the string of time Dissonant storyline The past and future intertwine The sun explodes at any time The sun explodes at any time…
