Aha ahoo!
I was flying high one night
Sailing down the Saigon streets
When all of a sudden
Found it so hard to breathe!
Like an hourglass
I feel my time is running out!
The smog is filling up my lungs
and coming out my mouth!
I think I need to get to a hospital
Before the poison
Fills my lungs, yeah
Think we're gonna need a gasmask baby
I can't breathe,
I can't breathe
I can't breathe without you,
Without you now!
Aha ahoooo!
Next thing I know being rolled into the waiting room
People surrounding me covered in bruises and bullet wounds
O doctor please can you give me some oxygen
Cos I'm choking yeah I'm choking
And I want to live some!
I think I need to get to a hospital
Before the poison
Fills me up!
Think we're gonna need a gasmask baby
I can't breathe,
I can't breathe
I can't breathe without you,
Without you now!
Aha! Ahooo!
*coughs*
I think I need to get to a hospital
Before the poison
Fills my lungs!
Think we're gonna need a gasmask baby
I can't breathe,
I can't breathe
I can't breathe without you,
Without you now!
Aha! Ahooo!
*coughs into infinity*

THEY LIVE

"Outside the limit of our sight, feeding off of us, perched on top of us from birth to death, are our owners! They have us! They control us! They are our masters, WAKE UP!"* - (The priest from They Live, 1999).
Baby won't you obey me?
Can't believe my eyes
Pandora's Box has been opened wide
These sunglasses saved my life!
All my life I've been on my knees
Told to obey you
But now I see formaldehyde faces
And blank pages
Telling me what to do!
They Livin', They living, They live
They Livin', They living, They live
They Livin', They living, They live
Amongst you
Ooooh ooh-ooh!
Uh!
Ooooooh you're so blinded!
Everywhere you go,
Shiny shopping malls climbing!
Reality declining,
Feeding off your insecurities!
All my life
I been on my knees
Told to obey you
But now I see formaldehyde faces
And motherfucker's
Telling
Me what to do!
Ohhh ahhh ahh
They Livin', They living, They live
They Livin', They living, They live
They Livin', They living, They live
Amongst you!
OhhhhH Ahh!
"They are our masters! They are all about you, all around you!" *
"The world needs a wake up call!" *
Control control!
They live among us!
Control control!
The cancer on canvas
Control control
Please wake up your brothers!
Control Control
Break free from your owners!
Put on your sunglasses!
Put on your sunglasses!
Put on your sunglasses!
Put on your sunglasses!

Ba da baa
Ba bap ba ta
Ba da baa ba ba da) x 3

VALIUM

Lay down with me
Little V,
No longer
Solitary,
Hollow,
Bubbled like a bath,
So warm,
Eradicates my sorrow,
O circle small
My order tall
So your wisdom
I do borrow
Upon back seats
Little dreams
Above the coughing children,
Follow.
Oh!
Under a blue hat
I turn the world black
Block my ears from pollution,
Within,
These plastic walls and tiered stalls
Holds!
Unstable collective feeling!
I try to avoid the clock
For fear it's stopped
These streets
A perspective vortex
Coccyx in shock
Yeah, I'm wearing socks
Fingerprints on the perspex!
Oh! Valium!
Oh! Valium!
The roads they bend
Jolting souls
Resting on the leather
O little pill
Do as thy will!
The road back home seems to last forever!
The roads they bend
Jolting souls
Resting on the leather
O little pill do as thy will!
The road back home seems to last forever!
On and on on and on and on on and on!
Valium ooh oh!
Get some! Get some!
My friend Valium.
O Saigon greet me with plastic stools
More comforting than this misadventure
So take me back to hammocks and cats
And the dusty weather,
And we'll get high together sometime soon!
Oh oh!
The roads they bend
Jolting souls
Resting on the leather
O little pill
Do as thy will!
The road back home seems to last forever!
The roads they bend
Jolting souls
Resting on the leather
O little pill do as thy will!
The road back home seems to last forever!
On and on on and on and on and on and on!
Valium!
Get some!
Get some!
Lay down with me
Little V,
No longer
Solitary,
Hollow,
Bubbled like a bath,
So warm,
Eradicates my sorrow,

NO SHIRTS NO SHOES

Insomnia creeping
My eyes half asleep
My mind endlessly searching
For the blank sheet to feed sleep
My landscape so dark
De-ja-vu in the patterns
Train rides, burned out cars,
Get lost in the shadows.
Emerging another side
From within my mind disclosed
Through new blows
We're elated!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Cos there's nothing left but the other side of the pillow!
There's nothing left but condiments and retribution!
We'll swing free like monkeys,
Wearing uniformed clothes,
Let it flow
Cos project mayhem will set you free!
Allow the madness from within
Escape from each victim
In their matrix prison
One day will snap you so violently!
This room is full of YAHOOS!
And cornflower blue in not the hue
To remove these shackles
I see red
I'll take blood instead!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Cos there's nothing left but the other side of the pillow!
There's nothing left but condiments and retribution!
(crazy vocal)
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Cos there's nothing left but the otherside of the pillow!
NO!
There's nothing left but you and me.
No shirts No shoes!
No shirts No shoes!
No shirts No shoes!

IMMUNE

You think I don't see it all
But I do
The truth is around you
I feel it
You're just immune
Immune.
You think I don't see it all
But I do
The truth is around you
I feel it
You're just immune
Immune.
Til it was too late you did refute the resolute
Even when truth hit you youth still nothing could improve
Through all the lies I felt the hate
Emulate
Til it choked you like a fist across the lips
Sealing our fate
Our fate.
You think I don't see it all
But I do
The truth is around you
I feel it
You're just immune
Immune.
You think I don't see it all
But I do
The truth is around you
I feel it
You're just immune
Immune.
Uh uh.
I couldn't hang around, I couldn't stay
To watch myself get consumed by wolves
In a game of child's play,
Cos "pulling the wool"
Doesn't mean a situation can improve
Too much to lose
Too much to gain, alone.
Alone!
You think I don't see it all
But I do
The truth is around you
I feel it
You're just immune
Immune.
You think I don't see it all
But I do
The truth is around you
I feel it
You're just immune
Immune.
Now I'm shining bright like gold
Yeah I used to be an emerald
I'm shining bright like gold
Yeah I used to be an emerald
Saying goodbye
Kiss the sky above the open road, explode!
Now I'm shining bright like gold
Yeah I used to be an emerald
I'm shining bright like gold
Yeah I used to be an emerald
Saying goodbye to the pupae that I used to know,
Explode!
Ah aah ah ah ahhh ah a ah aa a ah x 3
Oooh ooh oh oh
Ah aah ah ah ahhh ah a ah aa a ah x 3
Oooh ooh oh oh (oh ooh)
