DEAD PRESIDENTS I’m not a fool, kido, I know my right and wrong I am not sick, kido, I don’t worship dead presidents I am colorblind, kido, green is just another shade of grey I got my mind, kido, I am not Pierre Landry and what the one percent what about the one percent that got ninety-nine on their knees? what about the one percent what about the one percent have they all contracted the green disease? I got a heart, kido, the love I give, the love I get I got a heart, kido, are the only currency I know I’m not a coin, kido, I don’t flip whenever the wind blows so cry me a river, kido, but I’m going wherever money flows and what the one percent what about the one percent that got ninety-nine on their knees? what about the one percent what about the one percent have they all contracted the green disease? what about the one percent what about the one percent are they all descendants of Pierre Landry? what about the one percent what about the one percent have they all got the green disease? are they all fools? are they all sick?

Sister Resist 05:34
lyrics
SISTER RESIST she’s dancing bare feet she dances on conventions she has a smile like a child she laughs in her sleep her eyes: an insurrection she can march for a thousand miles Sister Resist her name is Sister Resist and everything she says can be turned into a song she has been my greatest inspiration all along and you may dance with her but she writes her story herself she is freedom incarnated swirling in a dress Sister Resist her name is Sister Resist and you should see her dancing now I had the chance to dance with her

Jesus' son 04:54
lyrics
JESUS' SON the disease’s eating my veins the disease’s everywhere inside I’m bare for you I’m lying so you can check if I’m still alive and am I still breathing or just playing dead ahah and I am still breathing living or dying, please tell me now everyday I rise, I fall, I sink, I rise again every night I dream, I live, I die, I come back from the dead everyday I run, I hide, I get lost, I get found every night I call, I rush, I pay, I want more I’m looking for the package we haven’t gone out for a week and this guy on my couch I think he’s dead I think I think he’s dead and gone for now it’s not like we don’t care but (hear me) we got bigger problems where is the package? for Christ’s sake where is the package? I am Jesus’ son sometimes it’s a bit of a revelation sometimes it’s just me, myself and my addiction I am Jesus’ son sometimes it’s a bit of a revelation sometimes it’s just me, myself and my fucking addiction

memento mori 05:19
lyrics
MEMENTO MORI take that pill or die don’t use butter when cooking look after your body watch your weight, watch your weight find a girl and marry her two children and a dog not more on Sunday, mow the grass always check the door’s closed never forget to sleep never forget breathing the harder you work, they say, the happier you get don’t forget you are not able to fly so stop trying to commit suicide stop masturbating only five cigarettes a day shave everyday of the week believe in God, he could exist never ask too many questions always be nice and polite try to get some money and save some for the gravedigging don’t forget you are not able to fly so stop trying to commit suicide they won’t take our lives tonight don’t take that pill and die and please forget to sleep don’t close your door tonight sometimes just stop breathing please never mow the grass and never be polite don’t save the slightest penny for the gravedigging try to commit suicide remember you are able to fly

the future 05:18
lyrics
THE FUTURE we spend a trillion dollars on weapons every year we are the future we train boys how to handle rifles and hand grenades we are the future we’re not fight clubbers, we’re not generation A we don’t seem to give a fuck about what we might or might not change and more, all of this has happened before and all of this has happened before and all of this will happen again we’re nothing but silly sheep whistling on their way to the slaughter silent spectators of the bullet ballet war lords are playing they are playing all around the world we’re no time travellers, we’re not V disciples yeah we don’t seem to give a fuck about what we might or might not save all of this has happened before and all of this has happened before and all of this will happen again no more
