Anthropocene Dream
03:15

|
V1.
And I will waste my time
With all of these thoughts I choose
My point of view
The world we’ve lost is so confused
So I will get in line
To have all my demons fed
Inside my head
Then eat it up to be misled
CH.
It’s hard to believe
Oh oh it’s getting harder to breathe
V2.
And I will live my life
Without all the things that bloom
And what we knew
The trust we give is so abused
So we will be guilt free
From all of the lives we choose
What we consume
If I am lost then so are you
CH.
It’s hard to believe
Oh oh it’s getting harder to breathe

Kingdom Fall
02:56
|
|||
|
V1.
If I wait for the sound of your call
Can you believe the things I saw
I’m awake with no feeling at all
I await your kingdom’s fall
Ah tragic commons gonna suck my blood
Dream maker gonna steal our sons
They’ve got red in their eyes,
Steel in their bite
They gotta get in, and forget it
V2.
With a stroke you seal our fate
Whistle loud to fuel their hate
And when they rise you walk away
Make us sick with the shit you say
Ah get on grifter come and pull our legs
Shiny smile or a hand grenade
They’ve got means to an end
You can see what they’ve said
You gotta get in, or forget it
Outro:
Oh come on, oh oh come on
Killing for a crown?

Forest Burns

|
V1.
Yeah the sky
Was filled with smoke
And the clouds that day they were hanging low
And there’s ash in my mouth
Well day after day that’s just the way it goes
Oh forest burns, next our homes
CH:
I want to get to our design
I wanna pull the truth from lies
I gotta head full of lead
I’m already dead
One spill to make a million sick
V2.
So lost now brother I don’t even feel
Been kicked down mother now I don’t know what's real
So fill our heads with shit
Well that snake oil salesman is back in town again
With pipeline oil spewing from his lips
CH.
I want to get to our design
I wanna pull the truth from lies
I gotta head full of lead
I'm already dead
One spill to make a million sick
OUTRO
Ah that’s just the way it goes
Oh forest burns, next our homes
And day after day, that’s just the way it goes

Culture Bomb

V1.
My name is culture bomb
And I'm your second son
Raised on that silver screen
Listen closely you can hear them scream
Singing I want progress
Give me more
I want something so let's start a war
Yeah it's noble
And it's right
We’ve got every single god on our side
CH.
Ride on my friend till the end
Surf all them waves in your head
Where we’re going no ones knows
Just hold on we’re so close
V2.
All they want is some healing
Maybe you misheard?
If you can’t stop the bleeding, oh no
Then baby's gonna burn
And the waves came sweeping in
Soaking up that coast
People laughed, actuaries groaned
Screaming “my god” and “good god”
CH:
Ride on my friend till the end
Surf all them waves in your head
Where we’re going no ones knows
Just hold on we’re so close
V3.
My name is second son
I bring you peace and love
And I will ride on on a good wave

No More Grifters
02:53

|
V1.
How the fuck do you sleep at night?
Your true face that hides deep inside
So opaque now it’s making me blind
All these people you lead
Yeah we’re hard to expel
We’re not looking to buy
What you are trying to sell
Cause it’s nothing
CH.
Oo-oo-ooo yeah it’s nothing
Oo-oo-ooo yeah it’s nothing
V2.
I’m out here living my own life
That truth I struggle through all night
Bury it deep just so I can survive
All those preachers you loved
Now they’re going to hell
He was looking to buy
What they’re pretending to sell
And it’s nothing
CH.
Oo-oo-ooo yeah it’s nothing
Oo-oo-ooo yeah it’s nothing
Nothing
Ah ha
BR.
It goes on and on
As if there's no end
We surf on and on
Them wicked waves, my friend
No end
My friend
V3.
Make us a promise then wash it green
Bury the numbers to make it clean
I’m choking to death in the anthropocene
Those politicians you knew
Will now bend to the will
Of the zealots and racists who are looking to kill
Like it’s nothing
CH.
Oo-oo-ooh yea it’s nothing
Oo-oo-ooh yea it’s nothing

Brilliant Fire
03:36
|
|||
|
V1.
In a city where everything shines
Take a trip yeah you’ll be alright
It looked the same in another time
It’s all the same under the cover of night
They say this place is a “work of art”
Nothing sacred in this “land of ours?”
And who decides when we’ve gone too far?
Burning bright like a light in the dark
CH.
In a brilliant fire
It’s all falling apart
Choking on the smoke
We were doomed from the start
Up in flames we forget who we are
In a brilliant fire
In a brilliant fire
V2.
Searching for another place to stay
Don’t you think that there’s a better way
I’m too quiet can’t hear what I say
Growing tired of the everyday
Can't hide what we can see with our eyes
Can’t bury this truth with more lies
It’s different this time, it’s all different this time
Nothing much just a billion lives
CH.
In a brilliant fire
It’s all falling apart
Choking on the smoke
We were doomed from the start
Up in flames we forget who we are
In a brilliant fire
In a brilliant fire
BR.
And it feels like nothing
It feels like nothing at all
And it feels like nothing
It feels like nothing at all
Outro.
In a brilliant fire
Burning bright with the lights out
We’re burning bright with the lights out

Billions 2 Oblivion
03:57
|
|||
|
V1.
He took up all the space
To spew his smoke and spread his hate
But now that she’s gone away
He feels as though his lifestyles incomplete
That should not be ok
To clutch on to the fervour that you make
How do you feel this way?
We live and die and burn out all the same
CH.
We spend billions on oblivion
Another billion till we’re sick of it
Here's a billion for oblivion
Another billion till I’m
V2.
Where are we going to?
Now that this place called home is all on fire
Staring at the stars,
our only option left is getting higher
So I wave goodbye,
to all my friends and family who will die
As it’s counting down
A solitary teardrop fills my eye
CH.
Here's a billion for oblivion
Another billion Till I’m sick of it
Here's a billion for oblivion
Another billion Till I’m sick of it
Now we’re floating in space eating shit potatoes
I'm full of grace despite this global meltdown
And I say a prayer and wave goodbye
To Mother Earth as she dies

Intro.
That kindness flows from you to me
Another branch on the family tree
Limb snapped people gasped
Hard to think hard to grasp
But then I looked up
And the blue sky
It smiled back
V1.
Stand up straight, get cut down
Dissonance, all around
So atrophy became me
Head hurt, friend turned enemy
And then those
Missionary Christians, with ambitions
Let loose, omitting truth
Then getting lost, getting found
While others just come around
Ch1.
Oh yeah brother
The air you breathe is real
So go onward
Those things you love will kill
Once again
It keeps rising
Keep rising
V2.
Held him down, screaming loud
Full off that holy shit
But I wouldn’t cry couldn’t speak
Just dreaming of relief
So wash it away
Wash it away
Wash it away
Bring me that reprieve
And then once again, full of shit
You know exactly what you did
Ch2.
I’m a warbler
On the highest branch of the tree
So go on bluebird
Be gone - belong - be free
Once again
It keeps rising
Keep rising
END
Oh yeah brother
The air you breathe is real
So go on bluebird
Be gone - belong - be free
They all said that we were nothing
Ain’t that something?
And I can still feel that blowing
Of the soft wind, through my street
