Cage Raised 03:44
Cage raised spoon fed on broken glass Willing to accept the impossible task Close your eyes hold out your hands Prepare to follow every command Flesh donors give by the pound It takes one ugly muscle to make a frown You caught something that’s been going around Come here take this and bite on down Like a gentle passing breeze Laden with plague and vile disease Rotten fruit hanging from the tree Waiting to germinate the putrid seed Warm rains in a season of change Healing the cracks in the arid terrain A broken hand to turn the soil Barren loins relentlessly toil You learn to tolerate Liberty Cabbage And the Freedom Fries Form a rightwing think tank New worlds to civilise A shining city on the hill Full of nationalist murderers You learn to tolerate See you evaporate Will that ameliorate? When you’ve got no rights Innocence preserved in its final hour Pressing the the bright and delicate flower Whiplashing the mortal coil Burnt down the house with midnight oil Flesh donors give by the pound It takes one ugly muscle to make a frown You caught something that’s been going around Come here take this and bite on down You learn to tolerate Liberty Cabbage And the Freedom Fries Form a rightwing think tank New worlds to civilise A shining city on the hill Full of nationalist murderers You learn to tolerate See you evaporate Will that ameliorate? When you’ve got no rights

I got a feelin’ I got a feelin’ Like it was over but it’s only beginnin’ Don’t say it’s over Don’t say it’s over No stoppin’ til death or a coma You’re talkin’ it up You’re talkin’ it up Shut up and eat like I’m about to expire You can set me on fire Piss on me and sell the DVD I gave you somethin’ I gave you somethin’ To shine on the twilight of your life now Something to tell your children about You know they might just survive the abortion Another minute Another minute Another 30 seconds they will render me stupid Chronic moronic Moronic fatigue Your country needs you to kill and breed You might think I’m paranoid But I’m not afraid of you You might think I’m paranoid But everyone’s out to get a piece of you… I got a feelin’ I got a feelin’ Like it was over but it’s only beginnin’ Don’t say it’s over Don’t say it’s over No stoppin’ til death or a coma Conclusion’s out of reach Your stifling embrace is suffocating the dream I only want everythin’ I see I’m about to expire so shut the fuck up and feed

As If 04:37
All day long I push the stone Relinquish all my control Under fluorescence raw from the exposure Obediently return to my enclosure Though I've lost my way I still know I'll be back to do it tomorrow Am I an animal Am I machine Give me the number I'll be your animal Analyse my time assess my motion Professionals do not convey emotion Will you stay back late to count the beans? The end will always justify the means Am I an animal Am I machine Give me the number I'll be your animal Though I've lost my way I still know I'll be back to do it tomorrow

Firecracker 02:05
She got a blister From bucking the system She got a new plan If anyone’s listening Cause and reaction Wrath of the reject A misapplication But she doesn’t know yet Set it alight No more discussion now I’m watching it burn Stuck in the wrong hole Bible molester Fishing the wrong pool Dejected investor A talented monkey Likes metal from Norway Stocks up on zippo She lights it then runs away Set it alight No more anger now I’m watching it burn

Smithereens 03:54
At school, there was a boy He had the latest, and greatest toy He demonstrated, the children screamed To press the button, this was his dream Insert the batteries, and turn it on Flashing lights, and a little song The toy it dances, we are impressed Push the button, so what is next? The next day, another boy Had a bigger, and better toy He pressed the button, the children screamed It smashed the other, to smithereens When we play, pretend to die When I say, come back to life When we knew, that death was real Our toys were shot, and cut with steel Take em to the river I’ve got my toys Put em in the water I’ve got my toys Hit em with a hammer I’ve got my toys Put em in the fire I’ve got my toys My toys My toys My toys… Take em to the river I’ve got my toys Put em in the water I’ve got my toys Hit em with a hammer I’ve got my toys Put em in the fire!
