Track Name: Sexy Stalinist (Ideologue)
I remember the speech
You gave about your new ideology
Brown eyes, dark hair
Blooming fire and despair

You said love will rule the land
The tyrant king will be made to stand
Trial against the meek who inherit the earth again
The old gentlemen, slain by servant hands

Then you came to me one day with the heist fresh in your eyes
Tears aren't your thing, I know, its just the way he said goodbye
I love you beside me but now you want to try
To tie a knot but I see the hangman in your smile

But they’re just shadows on my day
These effigies that you portray

And you really, yes you really made my day
And it truly hurts me what I have to say
But I think that it would all just turn to hate
Yes, I think it would all turn to hate

But they're just shadows on my day
Mirrors that I have remade
One more step into your way
Where I will stay
Track Name: Jesus Christ
There was a prophet
From a little hillside town
He was enlightened
And word spread around

Few knew him
But he was crucified
And his killers
They formed an enterprise

Inside their council
A war against the sun
Criminal minds
The blackness of their time

And in their cathedral
They tore pages from his word
They resurrected him
And he became God

Now they command you
From centuries dead and past
It makes you wonder
How long one lie can last

And they’ve taught us
Taught us how to kneel
Obey and worship
As if that’s how love is supposed to feel

The man who loved you
He led a mortal path
And the one you worship
He is the golden calf

And how many children
Will we sacrifice?
To these demons
To this Jesus Christ…
Track Name: Dandy
Riding limousines
Is that what you’re used to beauty queen?
I guess it was until your boy went and lost everything
Trippin’ on my scene
And then you dropped into my day
Don’t play all the games other people play
And you can believe me when I say

So many people are asleep
And nobody here moves me
But I can rush off your mind

You’re alive!
So come to me
I’m alive!
I’ll come to you

Blowin’ in the breeze
Just got to make a little green
That little monster always wrecks everything
Revolution’s free
And I want you with me in this dream
This is the death of the old regime
You know, the changing of the scene

And yes these times are very strange
The whole world’s being rearranged
And I can’t close my eyes

I’m alive!
So come to me
You’re alive
I’ll come to you

Aren’t you glad you came to the big city?
You’re lookin’ good and you know it baby
You’re so drunk when you are pretty
Why don’t you stay here with me?

I’m alive!
Track Name: The Chariot Rider
I got caught in a net the size of the west
That was pulling in the world
And at the low ebb of this spider’s web
Were a thousand strings of pearl
There in the space I saw your face
In the pages of a book
You caught sight of me, said hey how you been?
Come here and give me another look

I said hey and stepped on the stage
And I let you look inside
Then you felt the need to tell me your creed
And I said, oh, Jesus Christ
You said yes and you should be impressed
That I kept a lid on the laughter
Spread the shit we did on the daily bread
And you’d have yourself a holy disaster

But I hope you’re doing all right
Yes I hope you’re doing just fine!

Now you say that you’ve found the way
And the way has touched your heart
But some piece of mind that you left behind
Must have been a vital part
Now will you please get up off your knees
While I reminisce
About the way me met, lest you forget
The rotten apple, motel kiss

You took my hand and your horses did stand
As we wandered into the traffic
And what happened next as I recollect
Was a little bit pornographic
You took me in, my special friend
When I was still a child
But you got in touch with the age-old crutch
And your horses have all gone wild

But I hope you’re doing all right
Yes I hope you’re doing just fine!

You folded your game, said praise to the name
It’s all so very adult
But if you’ve got eyes that see through disguise
It looks just like another cult
Now I don’t pretend to understand
What’s happens when we die
But on the day of doom, I hope you’ve got room
On that chariot up to the sky
Track Name: Androgynous Guy
His hair is long and his pants are tight
He's an androgynous guy

His lips are full and bright
He's an androgynous guy

There's no hair on his face
His gender is up for debate
He looks hot when you're too high
He's an androgynous...

Kinda like Kilmer in the Doors
Just like the opposite of Michael Moore
He's an androgynous guy
He's an androgynous guy

And I don't know why
I don't know why
He's an androgynous guy
He's an androgynous guy

He does not want to fight
He's an androgynous guy

He stole my wife, he stole my bride
He's an androgynous guy

Everyone is so scared
They look up they say their prayers
But god isn't black and white
He's an androgynous...

Kinda like Kilmer in the Doors
Just like the opposite of Michael Moore
He's an androgynous guy
He's an androgynous guy
Track Name: The Heaviest Corner On Earth
She is the one, you can't see coming
'Til she is already there
Look at her close, as she's touching your eyes
Her fingers are running all over your mind
She'll pull you in she'll be your friend
And that is how it begins
But come on man that is not how it ends
Or do you think you can win?

She can knock a thousand men, down my friend
She can break your heart again, yes she can

And once she's got you, you can't let go
Years go by and she is still in your mind
And you would like to possess her, but oh my
Oh my friend, don't even bother to try
Come on man, where others fell
Do you think you can rise?

She can knock a thousand men, down my friend
She can break your heart again, yes she can

You have seen in those eyes
You have tasted her lies
You will cry
She is saying goodbye
Track Name: Sandra Herold
Sandra Herold was living good
Sugar Daddy monkey made it in Hollywood
Had a fancy house, a couple of cars
The one day Travis started acting bizarre

So Sandra Herold went to the kitchen
That’s where she fixes her pain
And she reached for the bottle with the tiny pills
The script that eats her brain

She said, my baby is lookin’ down
Maybe this will help him come around
Think again
He’s gonna go insane

Travis was a monkey
A somewhat famous monkey
He wore a diaper
That he shit in
His mommy mixed some tea with Xanax
It pushed him over the edge
The cops were called and now his diaper
Is full of lead

Now everybody knows what happens next
Travis fights a bunch of cops and tries to kill her friend
Gets the whole country in a monkey debate
And leaves a woman with no face

So for everyone who thinks these drugs are nice and safe
Remember little Travis and his fall from grace
And remember his mommy and the tea she brewed
Cuz she was probably trippin’ on Xanax too

Travis was a monkey
A somewhat famous monkey
He wore a diaper
That he shit in
His Mommy mixed some tea with Xanax
It tore his mind to shreds
The cops were called and now his diaper
Is full of lead
Track Name: Underground
Yeah life is fine
If you open your mind
But if you lay down and close your eyes
In a field sewn with lies
You’re gonna start to decay
And bloom into a darker day
But if you like war
This is the right time
A noose of credit for the working poor
This is the right time
And if you’re thinking about going underground
This is the right time

You got to be underground if you want to be free now
You got to be underground if you want to be free now

You want an RFID?
Court ordered prescription therapy?

You got to be underground if you want to be free now
You got to be underground if you want to be free now

Withdraw your money
Drain the crown
Withdraw your money
You can turn this thing around
Withdraw all your money
And they’ll try to take you down
Withdraw all your money
We’ll see who will sink and who will drown
