ECONOMY CHANGE
Doesn´t quite have the same ring to it as climate change yet apparently it´s threatening the entire planet. Economy change is happening now - it´s not some vague future scenario based on shaky science - entire species are at risk, economic ecosystems will be permanently altered, and perhaps even wiped out altogether (like investment banks). We have to act now to avoid lumping the problem onto future generations. If we don´t act now we may all drown in a rising tide of economic uncertainty. Who knows how high this tide could rise - who knows how many firms will face meltdown. It could be 1 metre or it could be 20...
VERSES IN ENIGMATICS
Devils chords rain down on me
Like monsoons in the month of June
These heavy hands search black and white
For some respite from the afflictions of the moon
Wondering why the brightest smiles
Always appear on those without shoes?
But I must fly as there will align three satellites of Neptune
And I won’t be long, just as long as it takes primordial stars to bloom
Subconscious schemes, invade my dreams
And answer the questions that I could not see
Dull throbbing pains then cloud my mind
And render me blind in my third eye
The need to be, so closely linked
To silence the waves and bring internal peace
And so I fly as there will align three satellites of Neptune
And when I return this enormous space between us
Will be rendered as small as a man when compared to Venus
And I can’t describe the kind of light
That could be seen by those who will not try
And try you might but you can’t hide
From the consequences of your lies
Yet as I write and try to describe how I’m feeling
Somehow these words seem to lose their meaning
And so I fly as there will align three satellites of Neptune
And so I fly and see the alignment
And it’s more beautiful than we’re able to perceive
But when I try to return and see you all again
It seems the nearer I come the farther away I’ll be
Cause somehow I’m drifting into space
I’m drifting into space
I’m drifting into space
I’m drifting into space
I’m drifting into space
DEVOUR
I just want to be near you
Maybe even catch a smile
But you just seem to draw away from me
No matter how hard I try
Try to be kind, to inquire, but not to pry
You’re so cold to me
And won't even acknowledge my 'hi'
I can see there are thorns concealed in those thighs
And cruelty behind those eyes
Your beauty is all a disguise
So devour me and take me as your prize
Heavenly wine, heavenly wine...
To drink from you must surely be impossibly divine
Who am I fooling to even think it through
That you could be truly in love with me
And me in love with you,
At the thought of you, I can barely sing this tune
And so I must draw you as evil to ever escape this mental tomb,
I can see, there are thorns concealed in those thighs
And cruelty, behind those eyes
Your beauty is all a disguise
So devour me and take me as your prize
Heavenly wine, heavenly wine...
To drink from you must surely be impossibly divine
You’re so evil, yet so beautiful
You’re so evil, yet so beautiful
Heavenly wine, heavenly wine...
To drink from you must surely be impossibly divine
NO LOGIC
Universe seems so unfair
Makes me sure there’s no God out there
Take a man, married and with babe
His wife just passed away, the child barely saved
How can it be this mother dies?
Yet evil tyrants can survive
No logic to this life
Impossible to analyse
So take it in your stride
No logic to this life
Impossible to analyse
So take it in your stride
How can this be the age of reason?
Stupidity is in open season
There’s got to be another way
Although the prophets did predict this day
Whatever happened to dignity?
What is the science of love and peace?
We’ve got professors of bombs and knives
And we’ve got “isms” of suicide
No logic to this life
Impossible to analyse
So take it in your stride
No logic to this life
Impossible to analyse
So take it in your stride
And even though we’ve no control
Just let it flow, just let it flow
And even though we’ve no control
Just let it flow, just let it flow...
No logic to this life
Impossible to analyse
So take it in your stride
No logic to this life
Impossible to analyse
So take it in your stride
ART OF LIVING
Spinning around
I see a hell a lot of frowns
And it seems to be, contagiously,
Passed from man to woman to child, extracting smiles
And all the while
We work to feed ourselves
Or is it for greed and sales?
The art of living is the art of dying
Your welcome to your misery just don't try and dump it on me
The art of living is the art of dying
Your welcome to your misery just don't try and dump it on me
City heaves
Indulging in the pain it breeds
A flow of woe that seems to grow
Measured only by demand and supply
Never asking why
Depression thrives?
These hurts don't discriminate
But seem to blossom into hate
The art of living is the art of dying
Your welcome to your misery just don't try and dump it on me
The art of living is the art of dying
Your welcome to your misery just don't try and dump it on me
STILL GOT
Looking bad
And I don't know if we've been had
Making the God's mad
With all these wars and preference for violence
Natures going to fight back
And the weapon that hurts us most will be silent
But we may have a chance
So I'll set aside my doubts to remind you
Still got the beat, still got the beat
We've still got love
Still got the beat, still got the beat
We've still got love
Still got the beat, still got the beat
We've still got love
Still got the beat, still got the beat
We've still got love
Stop and breathe
And take note of the beauty around you
What simplicity
Allows us not to see this miracle?
There's a new technique
For building peace and it is to be, peaceful
So give it a try
And you never know but it might be, useful
Still got the beat, still got the beat
We've still got love
Still got the beat, still got the beat
We've still got love
Still got the beat, still got the beat
We've still got love
Still got the beat, still got the beat
We've still got love
Still got the love
Still got the love
Still got the love
Still got the love
FORGOTTEN QUALITY
Tired of liars
Tired of lies
I’ve tried to sit back to shut my mouth hold my breathe and see
If someone steps up, speaks out at what is so obviously
A lack of reason, an offence to basic biology
That, those who lead us use power only selfishly
Tired
OF OFFICIALS OF THE DESPICABLE
Liars
THE CRIMINALS WHO ARE INVINCIBLE
Tired
CLOTHED IN ROBES TO THE PEOPLE BETROTHED
Liars
CONCERNED ONLY WITH SELFISH PRINCIPLES
Ten thousand years of civilization
Freedom of nations
What have we got to show?
Illegal invasions and manipulations
Of media and information
And the future lies in privatization
Do we need another war?
When history shows that every single one before
Ends in misery, poverty and despair
Have we not enough examples of murder and hate
To see the cycle of violence will only abate
When we
Stop, breathe, accept some humility
Stop, breathe, accept some humility
Stop, breathe, accept some humility
Peace will not be found in the history of a peace of ground
It’s a quality within not a war that you can win
A personal journey against demons inside
Peace is a personal journey against demons inside
And any other theory is And that’s why I’m tired
SEX IT UP
One, two, buckle your shoe
Three, four, close the door
Five, six, whittle at sticks
Seven, eight, masturbate
Nine, ten, do it again
Do it again, do it again
Eleven, twelve, you’re kissing with girls
Your heads awhirl, you’re kissing with girls
Sex it up make it more attractive
Sex it up, surrender to distraction
Sex it up make it more attractive
Sex it up its time to get proactive
Oh, one, it’s nothing but fun
Dropping bombs on someone, nothing but fun
Three, four, table your report
The lying consort of the imperial fort
Oh, two, did I forget you?
Like they’ll forget you, and they’ll forget you
Six, seven, analogies of heaven
Eight, nine, they’re drunk on wine
Sex it up make it more attractive
Sex it up, surrender to distraction
If we keep buying they’ll keep lying ‘til there’s nothing left to burn,
So keep on trying to be wise and pray eventually they’ll learn
If we keep buying they’ll keep lying ‘til there’s nothing left to burn,
So keep on trying to be wise and pray eventually they’ll learn
Money, Power
Power, Money
Money, Power
Power, Money
Sex it up make it more attractive
Sex it up, surrender to distraction
Sex it up make it more attractive
Sex it up its time to get proactive
THINK
If you want it
Then I ain’t got nothing for you
If you need it
It’ll cost you twice as much as it should
But I ain’t got it
Even though I said I would
And you could have it for free
But I’ll bet you never find it
I don’t care what you think
You ask why? It’s just instinct
You say “run” I way “flow”
You say “jump” I say “no”
I don’t care what you think
I think that you know that you know that I think
That we think the same but we don’t
And you know that I think that I think that you know
That you are insane and a joke
All you’ve got is
What I don’t need
So you can keep it
It’s not for me
But you keep pushing
And I see through your greed
So you go your way, I’ll go mine
And everything will be sweet
I don’t care what you think
You ask why? It’s just instinct
You say “run” I way “flow”
You say “jump” I say “no”
I don’t care what you think
I think that you know that you know that I think
That we think the same but we don’t
And you know that I think that I think that you know
That you are insane and a joke
Give us the break
While he’s giving you the break, we’re going to give you some of the
most enlightening political rhetoric you’ve ever heard
There are known knowns
Uknown knowns
Known unknowns
Unknown unknowns
And knowns we don’t know we don’t know
Did any of you understand that? I certainly didn’t and I’m the guy who
wrote it. Well no, that was actually Donald Rumsfeld but he’s gone now so
we can forget about him.
That brings us to the end of our 3 minutes and 45 seconds of
conveniently packaged entertainment
Meanwhile, keep on buying everybody, it’s the only thing that’s keeping
us all alive, and whatever you do, don’t pay any attention to those rising
oceans, they’re just an illusion.
It’s all good
DELIRIUM (the hidden track)
Delirium has you dancing like you never knew
You are the king, the king of everything that is not true
You see your queen you see that she should really be with you
And you got to get her pants off
You got to get her pants off
You got to get her pants off
You just got to get her pants off
Oh Delirium is taking you down
With your false crown
Losing your control
Boring a hole into your soul
Little man Venezuela running in your veins
Master plan has you thinking that there is no pain
You fail to see the consequences of your actions
It’s clear to me white lady’s keeping you distracted
Oh Delirium is taking you down
With your false crown
Losing your control
Boring a hole into your soul
Demons are playing their games
The battle for all’s the same
Solution for one and all
Dissolution of the soul
I’ve no right to preach and no skills to teach
I don’t mean to get heavy but the line’s been breached
White lady is taking you soul
White lady is taking your soul
White lady is taking your soul
Oh Delirium is taking you down
With your false crown
Losing your control
Boring a hole into your soul
