let us love
we are all
children of
adam and eve
we have all
been oppressed
we have all
been aggrieved
cause it's always been the same
since abel and cain
and when i feel the pain
i remember who to blame
why are you beating and battering me?
i'm your family
i'm your family
why are you beating and battering me?
i'm your family
i'm your family
heavy chains
burning flames
suffering under
your reign
what to do
i guess you
think that life's
just a game
but it's growing cold outside
and the hour's getting late
better lock yourself inside
your heavy guarded gates

i am afraid
of the men in my dreams
their big buggy eyes
and their tiny bodies
i lie all alone
on my bed in my sleep
until the men
from the sky visit me
they took me on their ship
and headed for the sun
they stopped and stared at it
oh what was going on
and then they turned to me
and then one of them said
"if you make one wrong move
your solar system's dead, dead, dead!"
i lost track of time
could be days, could be weeks
it seemed that the men
wanted something from me
...

count your dough, you got enough?
park beneath the viaduct
for something nice, for something sweet
get it here down on vine street
you're gonna take a magic trip
you're just living by the drip
of that honey nectar treat
but it's become so bittersweet
shady guys in s.u.v.s
looking for the washy-washies
lots of coke and lots of weed
lots of h and lots of speed
you're going on a magic trip
you're just living by the drip
just a moment of relief
but it's become so bittersweet
lots of coke and lots of weed
lots of h and lots of speed
how much you got, how much you need?
get it here down on vine street
lose yourself and lose your needs
the feeling that you can't believe
you lost your soul, you lost your friends
and now you're sleeping on a bench
lots of coke and lots of weed
lots of h and lots of speed...

you felt like you had to party
how you feeling?
you may have swallowed large quantities
now you're reeling
it's like the feeling of falling
falling deeper
it's started hitting you harder
it is not a good feeling
two thousand two hundred first nightmare
it's the worst nightmare
two thousand two hundred first nightmare
it's the worst nightmare
i'm standing here in my underwear
everyone stares
i'm just trying to get some air
and they're all there
it's all my repressed horrors
come to greet me
you're all just scary monsters
gonna eat me
two thousand two hundred first nightmare
it's the worst nightmare
two thousand two hundred first nightmare
it's the worst nightmare

well i can't see it
and i can't hear it
but i can feel it
and it's arrived here today
you think it's fun
or just funny
it's tv from
a million lightyears away
go flick through the channels
and find something nice
sit back and relax
and shut off your mind
the devil is near
it's coming in waves
the devil is on his way
hype and spin
get all sucked in
and justify
all the choices you've made
or turn it off
and turn away
open the door
and find a beautiful day
at first it seems nice
and everything's fine
but sooner or later
it poisons your mind
the devil is near
it's coming in waves
the devil is on his way

marching again
munching again
guess who's down the street
guess who's moving in next door
guess who's coming to dinner
always eating more and more
seems the only way to kill them
is to shoot them in the head
or bash their brains out
just make sure they're really dead
guess who's down the stairs
guess who's knocking down your door
guess who's gnawing your leg off
always eating more and more

far out in the sea
02:17

i've been to london, england
i've been to rome
but it's the open ocean
i call my home
i like the feeling
of sailing free
the breeze has carried me so
far out in the sea
out on the mainland
money talks and people run
their disposition tells me
there's something wrong
but if you're drowning
i'll toss a rope
and you can climb aboard
upon my lonely boat

you don't get hugs
you've got bedbugs
better spray them all dead
people push you
they say "fuck you"
when they get in your way
re-baptismed
falling in, falling in
falling in the mall fountain
i have freed my soul
listening to rock and roll
i feel free from sin
it is dirty
in the subway
you are in new york city
take the "a" train
take the "d" train
no there is no escape
re-baptismed
falling in, falling in
falling in the mall fountain
i feel free from sin
falling in, falling in
falling in the mall fountain

i had some fun
at a party
where everyone
took lsd
we're feeling good
we're feeling fine
cause i'm an orange
and you're a lime
you oughta try yourself some lsd
i'm sure you'll have a great time
participate and become integrated
into a greater mind
i'm feeling good
i'm feeling strange
cause lsd
affects your brain
my mind's at ease
i feel released
well normal life
is such a tease
i see the sun rise in the sky with the moon
i wonder what the day brings
i'm noticing the clouds the grass and the trees
the unity of all things

a sausage in the mouth
01:30

|
some eggs and curds and whey
it's how i start the day
but i can't go outside
to play
they dropped a bomb
was way too strong
now everything
is dead and gray
we're on the brink
lost all our strength
nuked and decayed
wasted away
oh, what do you yanks say
you always get your way
"a sausage in the mouth"
hooray!
they dropped a bomb
was way too strong
now everything
is dead and gray
we're on the brink
lost all our strength
nuked and decayed
wasted away
