In The Onion Cellar 10:21
lyrics
buy track
Welcome to the Onion Cellar We size you up at the door If you look like you belong here The doorman will show you in Walk down five concrete steps To a three square foot landing Turn right and down four more Where a bearded young art student greets you Points to a sign reading “Please pay later” You will pay later. Under the acetylene lamps You sit yourself on a wooden crate Covered with a burlap sack A clean plank table before you No bar, no waiter, no menu The host ceremoniously Wraps a shawl around his shoulders Wicked basket dangling from his arm Hands the patrons wooden cutting boards In the shape of a pig or a fish Distributes freshly sharpened paring knives And presents each one of you with your onion. Your onion. Look at it...all brown and dry With layers of skin around it. At the signal...wait for the signal At the signal you all start peeling Until your onion is glassy, green, Whitish, damp, and water-sticky And the smell permeates the room It's getting thick In unison, each customer Starts to chop their onions up You feel your eyes begin to burn The whole room is blind with tears And you feel the weight of years CRY YOU BASTARDS CRY CRY YOU BASTARDS CRY CRY YOU BASTARDS CRY CRY YOU BASTARDS CRY Cry for the evil things you saw Cry for the evil things you’ve done Cry for the deeds you were once so proud of Cry for your regret, cry for your shame Cry for all your hidden sins Cry for your swastika pins CRY YOU BASTARDS CRY CRY YOU BASTARDS CRY CRY YOU BASTARDS CRY CRY YOU BASTARDS CRY And when the tears subside Everyone begins to talk And when the tears subside People start to tell the truth Everyone looks at each other And spills out all their secrets And you can’t keep it in anymore Then the band begins to play

Clean Install 03:13
lyrics

Please shut down your terminal Your files are all corrupted The firewall you bought last month Came bundled with spyware Clean install, clean install Pull the plug, kill the bug Ugly clowns with glowing eyes Are frozen on the monitor The voice of Gilbert Gottfried Reads the words of Tucker Carlson Shut it up, shut it down Turn it off, turn it on I want a diet of our own Cut the crap right to the bone Audit the whole world and then Wipe it clean and start again Robbed by gangs of psychopaths On the highway to Utopia Roadblocks everywhere we turn We must be getting somewhere. Going out, going up Going through, coming home Time to purge this bloated cache Of garbage from your system Do away with all this pointless Psychic constipation Clean install!

Burn Pit (Two Words) 03:23
lyrics
buy track
Plastics, rubber, chemicals Medical waste in toxic pools Toss it all in a pit What should the soldiers do with it? Burn, burn it all in the burn pit Cover your base with caustic smoke Desert wind shifts, the soldiers choke Occupying troops from the USA They’re all volunteers anyway Sick, sick from breathing the burn pit Oh you may not get blown up And you may not get shot But your breath has grown shallow And your body is riddled with cancer Mysterious ailments Confound the authorities Who could have predicted It’s all a bizarre surprise Another pack of lies Casualties of a war of choice Burning lungs and lives destroyed Radio screams let freedom ring God bless the troops all the people sing Burned, burn them all in the burn pit And the flags keep flying The kids keep dying And glory reigns and the nations swell with pride And the poison rises And spreads around And God is great and righteousness abounds Without a sound.

Noise In My Head 04:30
lyrics
buy track
Penetrating enervating Aggravating agitating Glitching grinding hairy coughing Never ending nerve wracking mindblowing Noise in my head! Irritating percolating Ventilating free associating Strategizing improvising Randomizing paralyzing Noise in my head! Ah, my head is full of noise I can’t even hear myself think half the time It’s a racket Howling clatter Stripping gears Mindless chatter Slow down I’m trying to think, oh well Incoherent manifestos Penetrating our brains Screeching tornados of bullshit Green grass of the insane Jibber jabber shatter battle Yabba dabba doomsday Buzzing at a 60 cycle Humbug firebug anthill Noise in my head War god raw dog Dank meme bad dream Silent primal scream Wide wild world of nothing Noise in my head What do you do with a head full of noise? (Drop it!) Drop it? (Drop it!) Drop that noise (Put it in the trash can. Push it out and shift to ambiguity) Ambiguity, gonna go for some ambiguity (The ability to deal with ambiguity is a sign of mental health. Everybody knows that.) Yow, I never heard that before, oh yes I did. I'm ambiguous! It's a paradox. I've heard it many times in the noise in my head. But it gets lost in the noise, what can I do? (Well, you just have to get it that all things are true and false at the same time, despite what they try to tell you in logic. Logic says no two things are the same at the same time, because logic is a forced division. However, it works very good if you want to organize chaos. The ability to deal with ambiguity is a sign of mental health.) I'll turn the noise in my head into music. (Nice idea.) I'm gonna turn it into music. (That's a good idea because that's creative, and in a creative world you can do anything.) Oh, what a relief.

Thunder Sticks 04:23

Rod of iron, big bad stick God guns gold, revelation kicks Killing machine makes a man feel big His rights are protected by powdered wigs Stores and schools, theaters and clubs Second amendment’s here to blow you up Going commando, talking war If you lose your kids you can always make more American murder paradise Podcasts tell you it’s time to fight Patriots with a job to do Dressed to kill, the enemy is you Liberty is a precious thing Spill that blood, let freedom ring Terror propaganda, true crime Superpower has lost its mind Battle royale civil war Endless trauma, we’ve seen it before Act like the problem is so hard to solve Constant distraction, someone else’s fault Shower the bodies with thoughts and prayers Jesus loves you and nobody cares The price of liberty won’t be fixed Because you can’t take away those sacred thunder sticks.

Life And Death On The Farm 10:06
lyrics

There was a boy, a very disenchanted boy He leaned on a fencepost and he said to himself This life sucks. I gotta get out of here. He needed to get out. He needed to get out. He had to leave the farm. He had to leave the farm. It was driving him crazy. There was a real world out there. He had to leave the farm. He had to leave the farm. It was driving him crazy. There was a real world out there That wasn’t reflected in anything he saw around him He had to leave the farm. Now, there’s nothing wrong with the farm, per se When he got older he started to appreciate That he had a farm in his past Bringing up sunflowers from the garden They started like flowers, then they dried up and got heavy You’d set up in the garage & you’d pull the seeds out Just bruah ‘em with your hand, the seeds would come loose and fall right out And you’d place them in a pan, and bake them in the oven Break them out of their shells one by one, chew ’em up, it was pretty good FOOD COMES OUT OF THE GROUND FOOD WALKS AROUND IN THE FIELD FOOD AND DEATH SURROUND YOU YOU LEARN A LOT ABOUT LIFE & DEATH ON THE FARM Cutting up a carcass on the weekend You’re chopping steaks, you’re chopping scraps to make homemade sausage We had steers, pigs, we had lambs even, one time we tried a goat Didn’t like it, fortunately my dad didn’t either Otherwise we’d have been slaughtering goats all the time We had chickens, my grandfather used to chop their heads off We had ducks, they were easier to pluck, We had geese, they used to attack you Like they knew what was in store for them. We learned anatomy with our knives on that big table. Tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, yeah we even had kale Berries, carrots, lots of carrots, lots of potatoes Pumpkins, butternut squash, onions But garlic never grew. FOOD COMES OUT OF THE GROUND FOOD WALKS AROUND IN THE FIELD FOOD AND DEATH SURROUND YOU YOU LEARN A LOT ABOUT LIFE & DEATH ON THE FARM It’s all from the earth You had to feel sorry for the ones Who only see it wrapped up in plastic If you don’t know the truth, you’ll be a baby forever But still…he had to leave the farm, he had to leave the farm He didn’t wanna be a farmer, no way You gotta get up early, you gotta pay attention Monitor the water You gotta weed and weed and weed You gotta till and till and till You gotta kill and kill and kill It’s the balance of nature Yeah, it’s a hassle, but I’m grateful It was a hassle, but I can’t say I’m not grateful.

Well I wonder sometimes What part you picked for me In this B-grade movie That’s supposed to make Hollywood history I’m dead to the world And the world is dead to me And I can’t seem to understand Anything I see Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down Well I roll down the shades And I roll up my sleeves And I pray and pray for something That will bring me to my knees I’m dead to the world And the world is dead to me And I can’t seem to understand Anything I see Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down, down, downtown Goin’ down

Genocide Sideshow 04:42

I am a hammer You are a nail I am a harpoon You are a whale If I keep fighting I’ll never fail American history On a miniature scale Atrocity for atrocity Rubble from the river to the sea Blow vs blow and fear vs fear Just keep bombing Till the problem disappears Act of revenge against an act of revenge Against an act of revenge against an act Of revenge They don’t respect you unless you’re tough If they’re still mad you didn’t hit them enough And round and round we go It’s the genocide sideshow War without end, amen There’s only one thing Both sides agree on The people calling for peace Are trying to spoil the fun We hate each other But we hate them more How dare they stand in the way Of this righteous war Inconvenient people In a human zoo Why do they hate us Boo hoo hoo Collective punishment Never worked before The only solution Is to do it more And round and round we go It’s the genocide sideshow War without end, amen And round and round we go It’s the genocide sideshow And where it all ends You don’t want to know

Every night we watch the news Explanations from the experts Endless legal convolutions Complications in the cases Conspiracies and crimes committed Right before our very eyes Bots and clowns keep blowing smoke Jabbering how they’re not woke Regulations still apply All the chickens come home to fry And we wait and wait and wait For karma and retribution (I'm not talkin' about that guy who says "I am your retribution"...) Trying to guess the motivation Trying to understand the reasons Ill will motivation Ill will motivation What’s it all for? What do you get? Why? Why anyway? They might say… For the money For the drama For the twisted pleasure Of watching another suffer For the god you made up From a book you don’t read For the power For the glory For the liberty For the freedom to follow the leader Into battle For that guy? Or that one? Or that one? Or that woman even? Are you joking? Did your mamas drop you on your heads? For comfort, for security For the combination to the great big lock That protects us From the other, from the stranger From the faceless desperate crowd That the greasy little man on the TV set Loves to yell about For the team, for the squadron For the greatest show on Earth For the greatest story ever told For the laugh without a smile For the joke that doesn’t work Unless you hate the same target As the man who tells the joke As he dances with his fists Like some evil clown Like some idiot disco thug So insufferably smug He tells his minions: You’re a winner, he’s a loser You’re a winner, she’s a loser And the enemy is always clear Stand up on the field Don’t take a knee Unless of course you’re kneeling to the boss You’re so free! Well…that’s ill will motivation We have something better than that We've got the music, we've got the art We've got the culture, we've got the color We've got the people. Well they state their intentions up front Plans for relentless misery New ways to rob us blind In exchange for a brand new scapegoat Ah, we all want scapegoats, don't we? Manufacturing fresh outrages Same old hate with a new coat of paint Brand new bag of the usual crimes New crusades to hide behind Justice is always around the corner But there’s always another corner We’re turning every corner Because we are motivated by empathy, and that’s healthy Try empathy, it’s a lot more healthy, you might live longer, you might feel better They say you don't have empathy THEY'RE LYING.

Should I shut down this crap Should I delete this app Manufactured consensus bots Astroturf forget me nots What am I doing here Why am I reading this Pull the lever take your pellet Respond to stimulus Endless supply of stupid names Everything they say’s the same Dunning Kruger hate is the drug Dumb as dirt Insufferably smug White water raft on the River Styx Searching for an angry fix Flag waving blue check dicks Cheapen everything we worked for What am I doing here etc How dare they? How dare you? Another elitist Thinks he has a big brain Sees something cool And decides it needs him To wreck it, to break it To break his own reputation Hey man we thought you were cool Then you exposed yourself Addicted to rage, feeling so righteous The alternatives are safe but boring No satisfaction either way But I don’t like this provocation What am I doing here Why am I reading this Pull the lever take your pellet Respond to stimulus On Brand X
