1.	Forget Who? 02:42	lyrics	buy track
Couldn’t leave an impression with a cattle prod Why should it matter after you have shot your wad? Her urge, my demiurge, a comic fantasy With plot holes and gender roles to keep it Rated G The whole planet understands it’s hopelessly mundane Something I thought I already knew Look now damn it, understand it’s ordinary, plain, I must convince myself that this is true Trilingual teleprompter’s spelling out her name W E N D—why did I play her game? Depressed and mad obsessed while she makes other plans My leg up always below her upper hand The whole planet understands it’s hopelessly mundane Something I thought I already knew Look now damn it, understand it’s ordinary, plain, I must convince myself that this is true I must convince myself to forget who?
2.	Crime Beam 04:26	lyrics	buy track
This city is hazardous, decimated metropolis There are criminals encroaching on every block Peddling liquids and turning tricks behind closed doors Oh yeah, but it’s alright, ‘cause you know about the rumor going ‘round You know the one It’s going down Iron and intellect will deliver us to the fear in their eyes it will be so wonderfully permanent Crime beam determinant The fear in their eyes, it will be so wonderfully permanent Apologists for their cause try to soften all our laws They want to compromise, kiss it all till it goes away They say “open your mind,” snatch your brain and rob you blind Oh yeah, but that won’t last, no not for long Iniquity so foul and bitter, it’s hard to bear Authority will wash away it all and deliver us to the Fear in their eyes it will be so wonderfully permanent Crime beam
3.	Staying in the Race 04:51	lyrics	buy track
No. They say I don’t have a shot That my campaign’s an afterthought That I’m aiding the enemy But ain’t this a democracy? So I’m staying in the race Do your best, I believe in you So I’m staying in the race Do your best, you can still pull through No. They called me an also-ran Called me a journeyman! Well I’m gonna change their minds 'Cause I’m surging from behind So I’m staying in the race Do your best, I believe in you So I’m staying in the race Do your best, do your best, Article II Their cheap attacks and super pacs can’t stop our movement now Both sides are the same you see, but we’re different somehow So I’m staying in the race Keep going
4.	Empty Nest 02:48	lyrics	buy track
Elderly labrador Ball Bearings on the floor Porcelain arbiter’s platitude has been shattered High five on spirograph Endurance sliced in half And maybe now there was a point White bread and cookie cutter Expired apple butter The wounds of debt it shall anoint Rifling through the shards One receives, one discards After the hand’s amputation Waving at the train station High five on spirograph Endurance sliced in half And maybe now there was a point White bread and cookie cutter Expired apple butter The wounds of time they shall anoint Empty Nest
5.	FOX 02:49	lyrics	buy track
It's a cinch to get. So don't you fret 'Cause these simple answers are hard to forget Well it's as plain as day. It's elementary 1 plus 1 still equals 2, facts are false and lies are true FOX got a message that we gotta get out No room for backtalk, ain't no time for doubt FOX, we're #1 FOX God, money, guns FOX we're #1 Suck on our cocks, we are FOX and the right wing is flying solo Well, you're catching on See they're all Soros pawns Fauci puppets, mannequins, deep state cheapskate Mexicans Right is good, and left is bad Mom is mother, father's dad If you ain't right well then you're wrong Directions included with song FOX got a message that we gotta convey Red and blue and black and white Ain't no room for gray FOX, we're #1 FOX God, money, guns FOX we're #1 Suck on our cocks, we are FOX and the right wing is flying so low

7.	The Gentrifiers 03:13	lyrics	buy track
Renovated thoroughfare salvaged from disrepair And the filtration device will be used not once, but twice And the promenade’s been relieved of debris And the motor skills required to guarantee replacements built with perfect symmetry We’ll employ immediately Nubile and debonair Private parts moist and prepared Flawless procreation We will birth generations And the promenade’s been relieved of debris And the motor skills required to guarantee replacements built with perfect symmetry We’ll employ immediately
8.	Elise T 06:30	lyrics	buy track
Irresponsibility embossed the soil with palms and knees Shoot the birds and swat the bees my little Elise Picnic in the afternoon at night she’s barking at the moon Animating her cartoon my little Elise And the scars on her arms I read like braille But the message, tactile, lacked important details What was T? Did it stand for trickery or truth? What was T? Treacherous, or maybe trustworthy, I will never know So she apologized, now it’s time to close these rolled back eyes Time to say goodbye Fixing for excessive force but it’s like beating a dead horse And the benzos run their course, my little Elise Aim your ire at the one who sold clickbait revolution to your whole generation, my little Elise And the scars on her arms I read like braille But the message, tactile, lacked important details What was T? Did it stand for trickery or truth? What was T? Treacherous, or maybe trustworthy, I will never know So she apologized, now it’s time to close these rolled back eyes Time to say goodbye What was T?
9.	Once More with Feeling 03:05	lyrics	buy track
Once more with feeling No more freewheeling 'Cause all this mileage Has hit the ceiling A room of five is getting bored The act is tired of being on tour The advertisements were ignored How much more can they afford? We don't know, but they should probably keep playing shows Gaining exposure and hey, who knows? When they melt down maybe then we'll know if they existed at all Once more with feeling We've stopped concealing that your mere presence is unappealing You can't stay here but you can't go home Try sleeping on this chunk of foam Check out some guy's tape of drones No reception? Where's my phone? We don't know, but they should probably keep playing shows Gaining exposure, and hey, who knows? When we melt down maybe then we'll know why existed at all
10.	Megaton Kiss 14:37	lyrics	buy track
Mind overhead Usurp the governing bipeds with supreme exigency Before the canon is weaponized Fools they are all Behead the one who stands tall Expel the carcass of pride Besmirching idols so deified Congratulations You won the race Every square inch has been defaced The pesky have-nots have been displaced Reduced, exploited, or just erased From landlocked tribes stuck with stone tools To overcrowded public schools From lapidary family jewels To overflowing human cesspools Megaton Kiss Some sit atop upholstered thrones Some work their fingers down to the bone The cubicle is their soul’s grave So many willing New age wage slaves Whether you’re Hottentot or hot to trot Megaton Kiss is what you got You’ve screwed things up but there is “hope” Your genes are dirty this is the soap Megaton kiss Mind overhead Radiating from the woodshed Under a hail of ice Interior is paradise Fools they remain Artificer’s legerdemain obfuscating verity But satisfaction they guarantee
