"Great Golden Tower"
There are moments you decide - many things you see aren't right.
In between those sections there is plenty gold to find.
Just an hour in the trees - in a field...
Or on the sea.
Remember getting lost away from home??
All alone.
"New Collapse"
The new collapse is on the way,
Old and brittle - can not stay.
We made places for remains.
So leave your dollar in the cup
It goes to help those hit the worst.
First in line for better times.
If only it was such the case...
This song might not sound the same.
Bring the engine to reverse -
We go back and try again.
Inspect the source for all we missed.
We will manage - we will fare
We will suffer... that we share
But there is nothing that will stand -
If we force it by command.
It will always bite the hand that broke it down.
"The Life"
Ain't got a pot to piss in - Couldn't give you a dime.
Always dodging the phone - and I'm rarely on time.
In the usual manner, pretty fuckin' complex.
Original outcast gettin' high on yo' checks.
It's a fuckin' bonanza and the city's torn.
Living high on the hog - sell off the hog to buy porn.
-Your priorities are showing.
Too many kids in the back of the truck and
You're riding away into the summer sun.
Bag full of nachos and yo big red ass.
Dipping the wick - now yo pumpin' the gas.
-It's three for a dollar on Wednesdays G.
Sick of the taste of the endless night
You get up in the day - but it's too ass bright.
Buy yourself a helmet but it's way too tight -
So you pick another cock to train for your fight.
Cock all weak so you go back to the man,
Say that cock is useless could you give me a hand?
-I could use some help.
South of the border you go in for the kill.
Armed with nothing but sandwich and a bottle of pills.
Agents are chasing but you're hard to track down.
In the middle of night you'll never ever be found.
That's how you roll got to escape from a man.
"Ork Action"
When you can no longer hide
Form a ball and go inside a while.
In the confines of yourself
You will find the way out
Without any help at all.
Tourist take a second glance - We know better
We don't waste the chances anymore.
All the same when we get home
It's likely that we'll find out -
We're alone at last. Again.
Taking points in favour for becoming
Same old flavour has no class at all.
Emperor has no clothes on -
Everyone can see now they're completely gone away.
If the two can hurt the one then today
We'll see some progress son.
Brand it up with tales of woe
Soon the sheep are sure to follow home.
You'll hate yourself when you come round -
Seeing what you left there,
Just dying on the ground.
"Last Ditch Effort"
Maybe - we'll get it wrong one more time.
Would that be so bad??
Just don't blame me -
Blame me when things go awry.
As you try to make sense of it all.
We saw it first.
We broke the riddle down.
Looked inside the middle -
Now look at what we found...
Downside - Always be looking up.
There's a bundle of change in the forecast ahead.
Best days - are made up of nothing.
Nothing you planned on attending.
Though the time is short.
It's a lot for just one mind.
So you keep on cramming data -
Into all the hosts you mine.
