Radar Face
03:06
|

|
She doesn’t mind the snow
she can fly in silence
with a radar face
she has the science
she’s a chick protector
no empathy selected
she’s a prey detector
and you’ve been detected
Hoo Hoo
She will swallow whole
She isn’t knowledgeable
but she’s the perfect mother
and a killing machine
from inside the tree
she feeds the babies
she knows where you go
she knows what you’re doing
And now you know how things are going to go
there’s more of you today than there will be tomorrow

Panda Formula
04:14

it was supposed to kill mice, wasn’t supposed to be nice
wasn’t supposed to chew bamboo
what am I gonna do?
I held in my hand the weight of the first adjustment
couldn’t see straight had worked all night long
chemicals crushed like dreams of coexistence
I calculate great or so I thought
Hold my breath and back away
the formula is formulated
Seal the room evacuate
Panda formula is animated
I’ve generated
left in the lab to serve at the foot of the motherland
I couldn’t think right and the powder had gone wrong
it was supposed to kill mice, wasn’t supposed to be nice
wasn’t supposed to chew bamboo
what am I gonna do?

Noise Noise
03:55
|
|||
|
I hear shouting within the murmering
computer purring pencil clicks and windy wind
squeeze water in a filter. give yourself a froth
go forth and converse about Ray Kurzweil
go ahead and laugh at your joke man
Give me noise I can share it with the boys and the girls
give me voice I can make it into memories if you please
give me noise on your knees Give me noise noise
I can make for the girls and the boys
this old time rock and roll would soothe my soul if I had one
pounding sounds prod us on
grounding grounds liquid fizz plates collide.
machines aren’t always motorized
Tapping on the footsteps and closing doors
I hear the beep over the ocean in my ear holes
I see the people and their dog
I touch it smell it taste the germs
I sense the sound sometimes it’s not enough
I hear whispering within the hollering
electric rumble in the ground
air and food beverages computer
super crowded in your ear

Rules Are Rude
03:45
|
|||
|
rules are rude
rudeness is the worst
worse of course unless
the rules are disturbed by thoughts and words
I got the rude lifeforms
surrounding politeness
unroyal rightness
being nice to break the rules
I follow nothing
so Im undefeated
some rules are rude and
that’s why i cheated
The rig is gamed
its the same if you’re big
small rules ruin
the biggest politenesses
reading the justice’s rulings is grueling
they are fooling
benevolent citizens are tought to follow
the rules because they don’t know it’s rude. (they don’t know it’s rude)
I been refused unglued and confused about food
the laws of chewing are relaxed
and I rolled back the laws I once followed
I swallowed the rules I eschewed

Making Tornadoes
03:56
|

|
Sunrise chicken highs factory criticize
make yourself a guest of the food that the fruit is
So many people in the neighborhood feeling good
make a money take a money if you think you should
would you like the wood and the leaves of the trees it’s easy.
backing into freeze of the winter loser proves that
the winning boss lost for the last time I’m
Going around the rock every day
making tornadoes and hurricanes
Planetary gravity antifreeze geysers
emanate chemicals squirting out spectacles
glasses masses gases passes through the aphelion with Guangdong
song of the sometimes warm and the sometimes cold
With the goldilocks keys of venus. whatever you mean is genius.
The past and lends to the future time I’m

Do Over Utopia
03:35
|
|||
|
Civilization a lazy mistake
it’s time to debate. it’s time to remake
I’m going to miss it
but destroy erase andimprove is what you gotta do
Hope I don’t sound bleak. Hang around and speak with me
Do over utopia.
make it better. I care a lot
so lets clean the slate and drain the lake
gather the population
enter the veil of ignorance
decide what happens to everyone without knowing who you’ll be

All of Our Mission
04:58
|
|||
|
Ready for preparation do you care about it
Launch is survivable but the bow shock is unknown
Take the front seat my dear I’ll take suspension and maps
When the one police is too inefficient to stop us
I’m your crew, I’m your friend
I’m the start and I’m the end
Crossing the desert because it was in our path
We ate the food we drank the air. We consumed everything we packed
It’s alright It’s OK.
All of our mission is underway
He’s got a mind of his own. Alcohol nebula
we’re on a cruise now and we have a fistula

Ribbons and Lasers
04:39
|
|||
|
cleanliness security safety in your face
its the place to be yourself unless yourself is a waste
energizer candlelight. outside air cannot get in here
we’re the dear people who can make your suffering disappear
stick it all with a glue stick stick it with a glue stick it
stick it with a post it. if you’re capable, staple it.
careful with the hammer and nails. If you do it wrong it’s gonna hurt
Make yourself more useful
make less mess and disinfect
detect distress. Protect your dress
help people have the big success
they will say yes when you ask them if they like you
you want to be liked. you want to belong
you ought to be nice. You can’t go wrong
write this down, write this down
don’t bite their elbows
relax by the windows
eat the food they give to you
practice your murder on ribbons and lasers
