Wrestled to the Floor

Used to take a journey on the stratosphere express
A little anaesthetic to alleviate the stress
I volunteered my service to the highest of the high
But I’ve been ...
Wrestled to the floor
I’ve got no substance anymore
The stuff I was about
Is slowly draining out
So I’m down for the count on the floor
As a sole proprietor in soliciting delight
I would seek that shit out like a moth pursuing light
Counting down the days between the rapture and the joy
But I’ve been ...
Wrestled to the floor
The sun won’t heat me anymore
I used to take that ride
Now I’m halted in my stride
And I’m down for the count on the floor
I don’t want to hear about terrific places
Suffer the felicitous and joyful faces
Watching happy campers with no logic traces sucks
Acknowledging the truth is only realistic
Just about the opposite of fatalistic
I can never be completely solipsistic now
Not now
Wrestled to the floor
I’m just not a player anymore
It’s difficult to dwell
With no water in the well
So I’m down for the count on the floor

Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
When you’re overweight
But your life is great
Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
In your fucking car
Like a superstar
Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
Recent history
And a cup of tea
Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
Having no concerns
While your nation burns
Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
Go on holiday
Hey hey hey hey hey
Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
With your narrow sight
And an appetite
Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
Make your body numb
And your thinking dumb
Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
In the holy shrine
Of your credit line
Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
Never have a doubt
What your shit’s about
Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
Turn the colours grey
Hey hey hey hey hey
Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
Are you having fun
When your life is done
Lala lala lala lala lala lala lala
Will you be so brave
Living in a cave

Louder Than You

Say what you want if it makes you feel nice
Whatever you know
Go with the flow
And then I’ll crush your soul like an egg in a vice
So I can be louder than you
Post your opinions and say how you feel
Whatever you think
Will certainly stink
Because I’m just a prick with no further ideal
Than just to be louder than you
<chorus>
It’s an easy gig
That makes me feel so big
I’m going off the chart
So let’s call it art
</chorus>
Make a big deal of expressing your views
Impress your friends
Reap dividends
And then I’ll knock you down with no scratches or bruise
By just being louder than you
Join the consensus and take up the cry
Agree with the rest
Give it your best
And then I’ll wish yourself and your pals to all die
So I can be louder than you
<chorus>
Ignore what I say or dismiss it as spam
Scream, rant and shout
Knock yourself out
Because being a hater is just what I am
And I need to be louder than you
So fantastically louder than you
I just gotta be louder than you

Checked Out

Is it so important that the words that someone said can be inflated to include the things that no one ever mentioned so that they can be a scapegoat for the disillusion in your life
Rating this and hating that is everyone’s opinion to the maximum discredit of a person for no reason but the anaesthetic pleasure of the fantasy of being right
<chorus>
So I’m checked out
Livin’ off the grid ‘til I work it out
Goin underground ‘cause I’m full of doubt
La dee da dee da da dee
Checked out
Haven’t got a clue what it’s all about
Tearin’ out my hair ‘til I wanna shout
La dee da dee da da dee
</chorus>
Living in the nightmare that you made because you didn’t use your brain before deciding comprehensive knowledge on a subject tweeted from the depths of someone’s anus who you really like
Trust is overrated when it’s based on information lacking any kind of substance but the contents of a headline in a soulless competition for the scrutiny of everyone
(chorus)
Please don’t destroy us
Girl against boy us
La dee da dee da dee
Don’t turn your brain off
Reason the pain off
La dee da dee da dee
Narrow down your thinking to the microscopic level so the quantity of shit that you can stuff into your head becomes the imbecilic statement of the moron that you really are
(chorus)

Anthro-fucking-pology
05:00

People are just organisms living on this rock
Who took a twisting road in getting here
With humble little brains and the ability to talk
When you think everything’s known
And you’ve boxed it up so tight
You better look up from your phone
Because your thinking isn’t right
Yes a person is a thing
Not just the picture that you see
Yeah that’s the song we need to sing
It’s anthro-fucking-pology
Evolution drove us to the point of being smart
After that we played it all by ear
We took it to the limit and we tore it from the heart
So the writings on the wall
Can be covered up with paint
And that bastard’s filthy words
Are just the preachings of a saint
Watch your anger lest it grow
And drag you deep into the sea
It’s time to get on with the show
It’s anthro-fucking-pology
Buried deep inside your head
Is the cost of being you
Better get out of the red
So the payment can go through
Leave the hatred and the doubt
And be the best that you can be
You gotta let your human out
It’s anthro-fucking-pology
