Rat race

Had to find myself had to find a job and now
i am stuck in hell i've sold my head
they said work dignifies men
i'm feeling more like a maid
Someone has decided
you'll be working night and day
someone has decided for me
i won't be in the rat race
Had to wear a mask i'm a human in disguise
i'm ready for chips i'm ready for death
they said work dignifies men
i'm nothing more than a badge
Someone has decided
you'll be working night and day
someone has decided for me
i won't be in the rat race
Don't have a role in the rat race
no time on stage
but i'll be working night and day
i'll be a coin for their next game
Someone has decided
you'll be working night and day
someone has decided for me
i won't be in the rat race

Want a kefiah
Nicely protects my throat
No Palestine patrol
Reminds me just of some Instagram pics
Wanna please you
Eating organic food
Big red flag in my room
Don't know much about 1956
I'll tell you
Don't blame
i just have to grow up
Fulfillme with your marxist pop up
I'll be a perfect mannequin
I read some Bakunin and Lenin
Prefer to wear my Levi's denim
Be sure i'll learn all the catch-phrases
Demonstration
got a large load of wine
protectin' what is mine
i have to shelter using my ipod
At the meeting
i rarely take control
i merely say a word
about my university sit-in
i'll tell you
Don't blame
i just have to grow up
Fulfillme with your marxist pop up
I'll be a perfect mannequin
I read some Bakunin and Lenin
Prefer to wear my Levi's denim
Be sure i'll learn all the catch-phrases

And all the times before
How could i say much more
'bout the logical infinitive
A brain's great capabilities
So stop with phenelzine
Go on with the irony
Just to make you understand we are
just a footnote on a VCR
Will this be safe for your will?
And from now on
Look at you all from head to toe
Shining
While you all keep on laughing, oh
Tennis, TV,
And the geometry
Philosophy
Is that part of real life?
For you all i doubt it will
Fear of the ridicule
You know, wish i was cool
With my interviews with hideous men
And giving tips to intellects
So let's stop with tennis queens
Let's stop with tv screens
And the world will be soon a great mess
I hope you'll like my last great jest
Is this safe for your will?
And from now on
Look at you all from head to toe
Shining
While you all keep on laughing, oh
Tennis, TV,
And the geometry
Philosophy
Is that part of real life?
For you all i doubt it will

Submarine
03:21

Someone called me from the deep
someone pulled me out from my submarine
i heard a pretty siren all made of gold
melted on the sand like a snowball
Legacy of primeval love
hidden lazy lightness of human soul
and from her eyes i recognized purity
i'm lost in the garden of misery
In my soil
i reap pain all over again
she's the one
light of reason light of love
I am set to light the ground
you're a beetle struggling day in day out
her mouth was bloody full of black cruelty
i'm lost in the garden of misery
And how can i see that the sunset's near?
how can i remember that trees are green?
I just can feel the burden 'cause i'm thirteen
lost in the garden of misery
In my soil
i reap pain all over again
she's the one
light of reason light of love
I reap pain
all over again
i will face
all over again
faith in vain
all over again
don't want anything more

Nothing at all
02:32

I've got nothing at all
said the sceen queen
lookin' herself through the mirror
ain't got nothing at all
but my tights
they protect me
i've got nothing at all
screamed the housewife
cleaning her family error
so, got nothing at all
Gotta tell
You can't see the life's boiling flow
can't reach the hugs through the void
have to sing a song
old enough
to remember you
are a stone in the world
i've got nothing at all
thought the author
typing another sick screenplay
ain't got nothin at all
but my mind
tryin' to escape
i've got nothin at all
billions of men
'bout their survival sickness
if we've got nothing at all
gotta tell
You can't see the life's boiling flow
can't reach the hugs through the void
have to sing a song
old enough
to remember you
are a stone in the world
I am nothing at all
just a person
thinking it's just the beginning
i am nothing at all
a human

Getting started
02:50
|

I tried to see inside your brain
sure, i found out that you're so vain
greetin' is free
thankin' is neat
posing is mean
like misery
Everyday frying i sustain
Narcissus spelling all his claims
greetin' is free
thankin' is neat
posing is mean
like misery
Gettin' started
gettin' started with thank yous, hellos, pay offs
i'm aching for it
gettin' started
gettin' started i want you to figure it out
i'm sure you know how
Corridors are like our own stage
you missed the point, it's not a play
Honesty's free
like cruelty
your frailty
it's oh so sheer
Gettin' started
gettin' started with thank yous, hellos, pay offs
i'm aching for it
gettin' started
gettin' started i want you to figure it out
i'm sure you know how
Gettin' started
gettin' started with kindness, worthiness, clues
i'm prayin' for it
Gettin' started
gettin' started with care, morality or gin
a gift from me
I'm no more a badly assembled toy
i can be a clever bombsite boy

Zombie mongoloid
01:36

Tried to escape far from idiotheque
and found a place where nobody was there
Suddenly showed up a lot of clouds
behind the curtain a boiled army of
Mongoloid, mongoloid,
zombie zombie mongoloid
tried to avoid, tried to avoid
zombie zombie mongoloid
No way to escape from MDMA-A
all of them laughing not seeing that clear t
hey were not walking
just staggering they crumbled on me
i suffocated
I reached the subway what a mistake
another flock of disabled sheeps
just couldn't walk 'cause they all stood still
starin' at the i phones lobotomy
Mongoloid, mongoloid,
zombie zombie mongoloid
tried to avoid, tried to avoid
zombie zombie mongoloid
