Burn! Scaly smile conglomeration
Recipe for domination world.
Sear! Excavate a wilful suffering
Terrorise a bloody nation
Make sure the scandal comes out in the wash and you’ll never admit to it.
Play around, save your crown
Act the clown, boot us down.
I see the triangles
The pentagon, the shape of Satan
I’m anti-vaccination, really!
Yeah right, the earth is a ball.
I’m tearing down your fabrication
That keeps me down below my station
Fuck you!
Dim the lights, come court me with your
Finest wines, you try to feed me your ever incongruent
Baseless drivel you call truth,
This time, I’ll throttle anyone who tries to tell me different.
Play it down, save your crown
Act the clown, nose around.
Write your wretched verse,
I’ll see that writing on your hearse
And like the moon, untouched, alone
You’ll find yourself cold, dead and gone
Unless I’m wrong.
Naked brain on ice
Ain’t melting anytime
Syphilis and brine
Contaminate our supply
Water’s running dry
By government design.
Cause after all, there’s only some who hear the call and answer
Who take the red pill, watch the grave fill ever faster
It’s only ignorance for those who don’t take heed, they’ll suffer
Cause in the end I know I’m right because I know it.

Our great foundation
Melting stone
Beauty coveted
Let it be known
We want it’s essence
Truth be told
Come on our journey
No chance to grow old
The masses are satisfied
Their screens are all filled with lies
We tell them we really tried
But knowing this generation is the last.
Fill the screen
Cut the green
It’s distraction
Cull the herd
Flood the bed
Capital has to kill
For good reason
Quell the teens who
Seize the means
Indoctrination
Through force
Near automation
No use for the poor!

Speeding through rock corridors
The Earths core, what we adore!
Tapping into hydrocarbons
Burn through your zoological garden
Destruction, catastrophe
And other mad hyperbole
We peddle misinformation faster
Do it again, do it for the master
We know that our resources will never last
But we’ll be gone in a fiery ball before that
Sucking out the natural gas
Clasping straws fall through your grasp
Little spill here small puddle there
Who’s to care?
There’s profit in the air!
Give us tax breaks, subsidies
Fuck the trees
Cause wage freeze
Fill it up for the masters plan, you’re too late it’s already began
We know that our resources will never last
But we’ll be gone in a fiery ball before that
And they know who’s to blame
Yet they don’t say our names
Society trapped in our game
Just let fate decide.

I can see
Habitats
Burning up
Turned into
Battery farms
Sustain us
At the same time
As it plagues us
One less tree
One more feast
One less beast
One more decision
One less tree
One more feast
One less beast
To reach altruism.
