SYSTEM 55 05:10
<ooh yea-ee-yea-ee-yeah> infinte patches waiting for 1000 lights & flashes to shine around a good oscillator needs its good old low pass filter to shape its sound deep space tunes, engine old fumes joe meek tape echo feedback loop got some modular needs gotta see where it leads got to take me somewhere good // i wish i had a system 55 // i wish i could find some way to play it live 16 steps to show you each of my voltage controlled feelings of love still gotta prove how neat's my groove and send my signal up above sawtooth waves that everybody craves are means to an end i look foward to drove to a point you can burn down the joint and do the music you wanna do <here we go, come on> // i wish i had a system 55 // i wish i could find some way to play it live // i wish i had a system 55 // i wish i could find some way to play it live

IDIOCRACY 03:45
all the food we produce we could eat it all and take a gigantic dump on the people we hate they'll pay for cleaning the carpentry we'll use that money to design a chair a chair so comfy that no one will care 'bout anything than virtual reality // say hi to the idiocracy // hail to the great reign of stupidity greenland is melting - what a great news let's buy it and finish the job so we can suck the ground up its gas and uranium brave new world, 1984 we don't what they say, we don't know what they're for we televized'em and made'em happen anyway // say hi to the idiocracy // let's build up a wall between reason and currency // the pitch is good, let's make it a shitty movie // hail to the great reign of stupidity // so vote for a change in the community // we're fine for the job they screwed up entirely // our money matches our insanity // so hail to the great reign of stupidity

<ha> i guess i'll never see you eyes again i guess it's better than this kind of pain when you left me alone on the peer you could have whispered these words in my ear <never but once> upon a time you were down my window waiting for some magic that could make the wind blow <never but once> walked up the stairs to kiss me good night 3 hours later we were flying so high // never never but once we tried // never never but once we lied // now get back home and don't turn around <never but once> upon a time you were single and free i didn't know you, you didn't know me <never but once> now we're kinda friends but also kinda kinks we both know what would happen with acids and drinks // never never but once we tried // never never but once we lied // now get back home and don't turn around // never never but once tasted // never never but once made it // make sure that i don't fool around

ALCOHOL 02:10
i guess i never had to realise till i get my eyes off the prize i guess it never really occurred to me that i was a dog on a leash i clearly see it now that nobody's out i miss to party in town // my hands are shaking, i'm going mental // i need to drink some alcohol got some shit on hand going on got some distractions to rely on but i can't seem to shake it off prohibition feels pretty rough i need to cut some slack there's no turning back let's build our booze shack // the sun is out but our city's dry // now i can see the reason why // my hands are shaking, i'm going mental // i need to drink some alcohol
5.
oh well i guess it's saturday night you boys and girls want to feel alright y'all bought some booze and some ecstasy well i guess you didn't reinvent the way to party this for the girls with a nose to blow coz i ain't doin' nuthin // ain't doin' nuthin tunite // ain't doin' nuthin tunite // ain't doin' nuthin tunite well have you heard about introspection i might go loony if i try to stop just like my own mental radio station easier to deal with than a drug to drop this is for the times i didn't the show oh yeah ain't doin' nuthin // ain't doin' nuthin tunite // ain't doin' nuthin tunite // ain't doin' nuthin tunite, oh no // coz i ain't doin' nuthin // ain't doin' nuthin tunite can't find another way to feel alright a pound of weed and being outta sight and if you want to feel alright just come by anytime coz i ain't doin' nuthin tunite // coz i ain't doin' nuthin // ain't doin' nuthin tunite // ain't doin' nuthin tunite // ain't doin' nuthin tunite // coz i ain't doin' nuthin // ain't doin' nuthin tunite

TIME 05:04
i lose my hair and grow a beard the work of time is feeling weird my long-term memory feels like it's already fucked forgot my mum's birthday, yes i did and boy it sucked time is a cold and everlasting star that freezes us all // time // time a bunch of kids play in yard chasing for gold hidden in the ground i don't think i remember of me ever being 9 all things considered now i just may be out of time time is a cold and everlasting star that freezes us all // time // time // time // time

RUBBER 03:32
<spin it> woke up from a dream of the longest night spinning and spinning on an endless track reality got a taste of dirt my mind and body just fucking hurt // oh i can feel you spying // hiding in the hills // wait till you hear the sound // of a dozen rubber wheels <ugh> got glimpses of a life so simple and free my one true meaning got away from me loading up the vibe on the desert road a few seconds left till you head explodes // oh i can feel you spying // hiding in the hills // wait till you hear the sound // of a dozen rubber wheels // oh i'm the killer tire // chasing flesh and bones // spill blood spit fire // got to use my sticks and stones, yeah

EYE FOR EYE 03:38
red dots on radar targets to the eye dumb cops in kevlar trained to pacify clearance for violence civilians can be drowned weapons for villains to fire at the crowd you better board up all those banks you better run // you think we forgot all about it // we'd take our freedom for granted // ain't gonna drop it, ain't gonna stop it // we're waiting for the time you wanna come and get it // got to settle, ready for battle // an eye for an eye passion for the nation makes the racists brag a reaper for a leader makes'em love that flag murder's for order bruising's just for fun helmet and armor shield'em from the scum you better board up all those banks you better run // you think we forgot all about it // we'd take our freedom for granted // ain't gonna drop it, ain't gonna stop it // we're waiting for the time you wanna come and get it // got to settle, ready for battle // an eye for an eye you better board up all those banks you better run // you think we forgot all about it // we'd take our freedom for granted // ain't gonna drop it, ain't gonna stop it // we're waiting for the time you wanna come and get it // got to settle, ready for battle

ELVIRA 06:21
it ain't no bimbo make-up she's wearing it ain't no fake-ass wig on her head she just wears black, no bother asking and the L.A. sun has no say // electric mistress // strips down in the darkness // for puritans' pleasure // at night the young boys // climb up her window // they hide but she knows // she doesn't give a - she doesn't give a fuck her house is old as hell below she painted it green, red, purple and yellow downtown is filled with christian hate she served'em shrooms on a silver plate // electric mistress // strips down in the darkness // for puritans' pleasure // at night the young boys // climb up her window // they hide but she knows // she doesn't give a - she doesn't give a fuck // electric mistress // strips down in the darkness // for puritans' pleasure // at night the young boys // climb up her window // they hide but she knows // she doesn't give a - she doesn't give a fuck // she doesn't give a - she doesn't give a fuck

BREAKFAST 03:30
each and every morning i am born again salted butter takes away the pain on all the morning i have to work a 9 to 5 and when i'm just another bee in the hive can't spend one day without my // breakfast // breakfast the smell of coffee in the coffee pot does me good, hits on the spot too bad i cannot feel when caffeine kicks in but the moment itself is really all i need can't spend one day without my // breakfast // breakfast breakfast breakfast breakfast too bad i cannot feel when caffeine kicks in but the moment itself is really all i need can't spend one day without my // breakfast
