No Alibi
02:05
|

this is where we live
this is where we die
this is where we try to make it more than that
this is where they can’t stop us anyhow
why? why? ‘cause we don’t know where we’re going now
this is where we live
this is where we die
this is all that we got
(so) we make love and we don’t need any alibi
this is where we fall
where they put us down
this is where we get back up and try again
this is where they say we’re all fucking mad
well, well, let me sign up and join the club now
this is where we live
this is where we die
this is all that we got
(so) we make love and we don’t need any alibi
this is where we live
this is where we die
this is all that we got
(so) we make love and we don’t need fucking alibis

Mad Men In Boxes
04:37
|
|||
gotta put a name on everyone
gotta put a name on everything and everyone
yeah to label is the game
you gotta play
or get labeled down
we all got to fit inside a box
a box they can tick
a box you can’t crawl out of
we all got to play the part
hello my name is : ______
we label
and we stigmatize
and we typecast
we tag everybody now
we label
and we stigmatize now
we conform or die
we all got to stay in line
or the moral police on your back
we all blindly follow the code
no room for crazy, no room for error
we label
and we stigmatize
and we typecast
we tag everybody now
we label
and we stigmatize now
we conform or die
we fit in, we fit in
or we get left out
we fit in, we fit in
or they throw you out
we fit in, we fit in
yeah we conform or we die
we all got to get out of the box
we got to be whoever we want/won't, whatever the cost
we wanna live like crazy, wanna live for error
for error and error now

At The Arcade
04:10
|
|||
we met at the arcade on our bikes
we played a while and then went out
on an adventure ‘till it was dark
and on the walkie late that night
you said I’m scared of what we might become
I hope we won’t go cold and sad when we grow
‘cause every adult’s dull and grey
they are all work and no play
dead at 30, buried at 70
now every comic book’s a blast
every song or movie is like the last
I wonder why it all gets left behind when we grow
I want to grow but not too fast
yet I don’t want to live in the past
just want to keep a part of I’m now
so do we get to keep our smiles?
or do we grow worried and sour?
whatever happens to our hearts and minds when we grow?

please put me in the isolation tank
in a state I can reach
another Earth , another plane
a world that’s better than this
now feed me drugs
to the upside down world
I wanna see the stream
if you don’t I’ll die
I wanna see the light
I wanna feel alive
if you don’t I’ll die
I wanna see the light
I wanna feel alive
so come and swim
yeah come and dream
please lay with me
into the stream
yeah come and swim
come and dream
please lay with me
into the stream
please put me under
for a thousand hours
let me float and drift
to another Earth, to another world
where we didn’t do what we did
if you don’t I’ll die
I wanna see the light
I wanna feel alive
if you don’t I’ll die
I wanna see the light
I wanna feel alive
I wanna see the light
I wanna feel alive

10 Frames Per Second
03:09
|
|||
no time for conversation
no room for meditation
no time for further questions
my kingdom for slow motion
no time for true companions
emojis are not emotions
no time for communication
there’re way too many frames per second
no time
no time for sheer compassion
no time
no room for contemplation
no time
no ties, no absolution
gimme love, gimme slow e-motions
and it moves so fast
we are never getting old

Video Nasties
03:31
|
|||
whatever you say
you cannot stop us anyway
whatever you say
we’re pressing play
with a VCR we got it all figured out
Ash Williams and friends on the screen right now
censor, you’re out of your mind
censor, you’re way outta time
we’re watching nasties tonight
censor, your medieval mind
censor, your prehistoric lies
we’re watching nasties tonight
and all of your lists
and all of your lies
we’re watching video nasties tonight

where is the truth and where is the lie?
tell me man am I am dead or alive?
I don’t know, I don’t know
what if those things in my hands turned into sand?
would I be brave and face the world-itself?
I don’t know, I don’t know
everything I thought I knew turned out to be a sham, a lure
tell me where will the green man go?
where will the green man go?
time is so out of joint
the world is fake and I’m alone
tell me where will the green man go?
where will the green man go?
I gotta let go / I gotta let go
I gotta run run run, go go go
I gotta let go / I gotta let go
I gotta run now, I’m ready to know
I think it’s (all) just an elaborate dream
to keep us in check and working
I don’t know, I don’t know
Where will the little green man be next?
The bombs bombs fall on/onto our heads
I don’t know, I don’t know
what if the whole world’s the cave?
and these shadows they aren’t real?
tell me where will the green man go?
where will the green man go?
one happy world
all around
where no migration is allowed
tell me where will we all go?
where will we all go?
I gotta let go / I gotta let go
I gotta run run run, go go go
I gotta let go / I gotta let go
I gotta run now, I’m ready to know

Joe & The Button Factory
03:46
|
|||
my name is Joe and I work in a button factory
I got a wife, a kid, a dog and a family
one day my boss came up to me said:
”Joe, I’m sorry, we got to let you go,
you know, it’s the economy...”
my name is Joe and I worked in a button factory
got sacked but couldn’t tell my wife or my family
so every morning I still head to the city
always end up in a bar drinking my reality
and everyday I’m getting closer
to pulling the trigger and doing myself in
but that’s one button I can’t bring myself to push
so instead I drink
my name is Joe and I used to work in a button factory
until a bar fight and a judge done sent me here
if I behave I can see my wife and my family
till then I’m pushing buttons for the jail of the county
and everyday I’m getting closer
to slitting my wrists and doing myself in
but that’s one button I can’t bring myself to push
so instead I sing
it’s Joe and the button factory
it’s Joe and the button factory
it is Joe, the wife, the kid, the dog and the button factory
it is Joe, the job, the dream, the fall and the button factory
it is Joe, the judge, the bottle, the cell and the button factory
it is Joe, the wait, the hope, the rest and the button factory
it’s… Joe

my head’s about to blow
boom boom boom
how low can an industry fall ?
it’s like a horror show
save I like horror shows
my head, my head’s about to blow
now kill me, kill me, let me go
your cinematic, cinematic guano
I can’t take anymore
we reach another low
boom boom boom
yeah every decade or so
we’re even blaming Joon-Ho
when his films are pure gold
my head, my head’s about to blow
now kill me, kill me, let me go
your cinematic, cinematic guano
I can’t take anymore

talk, talk, talk, talk to me
put me in somebody else’s feed right here
this bland network’s like a cage
the machine wants silence, but we won’t give
we change the words
we change the world
change, change, change me with your words
show me all your sweet controversies, baby
and if I changed now would you love me?
if I spoke loud would you hear it?
if I had another view would you try?
if I were ready for anything,
if I cared, if I listened,
would you debate me all through the night?
get me, get me out of this fascist place
social media are the new propaganda
we only advance when we disagree
so let’s build upon each other’s burning bridges
and if I changed now would you love me?
if I spoke loud would you hear it?
if I had another view would you try?
if I were ready for anything,
if I cared, if I listened,
would you debate me all through the night?
‘cause we agree and then we don’t
we speak at night, we change the world
we change the words
we change the world
change the world with words

New Gods, New Stigmata
05:11
|
|||
big white rectangles in our hands
4,000 celebs in our heads
and tattoos of brands
oh how I miss my brain
another day, another stigma in the database
‘cause these are the new gods,
and we can’t get enough and we pray
‘cause these are the new gods,
and we can’t get enough and we play
designer bags and leather jackets
the lives they cost, the weight,
our collarbones should break
another kerosene holiday
oh how I love your tan lines from cancer sunrays
‘cause these are the new gods,
and we can’t get enough and we pray
‘cause these are the new gods,
and we can’t get enough and we play everyday
