It's a beautiful morning, In your town drive on the highway, up and down the advertisements, replace the trees and clouds, Living in a capitalist wasteland Living in a capitalist wasteland Living in a capitalist wasteland Living in a capitalist wasteland Giant houses, tiny shacks take your bags sir, welcome back darkened schoolhouse, busy road full to bursting, wide load, we're Living in a capitalist wasteland Living in a capitalist wasteland Living in a capitalist wasteland Living in a capitalist wasteland Well I pay to change my DNA Warm the oceans, poison my lungs acid on your tongue we're living in a capitalist wasteland fashion is senseless hippie is dead the zoo's too expensive let's all eat some lead, we're Living in a capitalist wasteland Living in a capitalist wasteland Living in a capitalist wasteland Living in a capitalist wasteland

passing trees, sun streams biding my time, watching all the people come and go, here I'm on a train, I'm on a train I'm on a train, I'm on a train it's out of our hands, it's out of our hands out of our hands. I'm moving backwards while things are moving forwards in time, in time all stuck in my head so I guess I'll just enjoy the ride, the ride I'm dressed in black, because of my guilt, and you can't tell me that there's no value in that if we all lost our colors we'd still have the same names I'm on a train, I'm on a train I'm on a train, I'm on a train, it's out of our hands, out of our hands out of our hands. why is it stillness and silence bring sadness and violence, I keep myself busy so that I don't think about all of the facts or the questions can't solve, or even describe to someone else. I'd ask you to stop it, or fuck my till silence, but that doesn't work now, and booze makes me sadder, so I've only thoughts, and art forms like writing and singing to numb it all down to a sphere on a train. I'm on a train, and people I don't know, go places I can't go universe without me, I guess I'll take whiskey, or maybe just TV, until I fall asleep, and dream in strange colors, that trace me then fade, into that black space that I would picture, when I was little, and I would try to imagine, a life without a consciousness consciousness consciousness consciousness

Child you are dreaming You're inside your bed Mother Father sleeping I'm inside your head, your head. My mind is racing, I am just a jest you are not your own mind life is just a test, you are just a guest. A guest. I'm scared about the danger you do not know see the world you try to make a run for you're daddy's little girl daddy's little girl.

Staring at my airport station train, I run on a closed loop circuit, 24 hours a day and I know, the security checkpoint's calling my name. yeah I know, my whole goddamn flight is bound to be delayed. It's another long layover find me a place to sleep we had our last night together, I thought I heard you speak. Baby please, I just can't breathe, the flames are all engulfing me. From the air Los Angeles looks like an oil spill, with 10,000 fires burning, burning down there still. and it left a million fossils deep below the oil shale, telling the stories all about the fools who used to live down there. it's another long layover find me a place to sleep, we had our last night together, I thought I heard you speak, Baby Please, I just can't breathe, the flames are all engulfing me

Wake up, drink your coffee and have white stuff, go to work and be a drone, and then go back home and sleep, you are all alone, it's time, you have had enough of this, but you are wallowing in your shit, you will never leave this place, you will stay the same, you're strange you're strange you're strange you're strange ah-ha, I have found a chink in the chain, yes my violence get a little weak, but I will try to speak waterfalls are just like hands they open up doors, in the brain and carve new paths, which kind of makes me laugh hookah lounge, blowing smoke and checking your phone 'cause you can't go home till twelve, so you occupy yourself you're strange you're strange you're strange you're strange In love with a dream that's all I am I'm just a friend who just listens, you drive to Texas in the dark, you drive your mother in the dark you drive your mother in the dark you drive your mother in the dark you drive your mother int he dark strange

We the city of Tulsa, United States of America Oil Money, The kids on the street will take your money, They need it to feed their families, But all the kids in buildings will take your money they need it to keep it pumping keep it pumping keep it pumping. The greatest minds of our time have been turned into beggars, minds of our time turned into grant writers, greatest minds of our time turned into beggars, beggars.

Not even god forgives what you've done Not even god forgives what you've done Not even god forgives what you've done Not even god forgives what you've done you didn't want a daughter, you put her on the street so you make her see the way so you make her see the way so you make her see the way she bleeds I couldn't see the logic, no it's alien to me, so I'll make her see the way so I'll make her see the way so I'll make her see the way she bleeds, for me, I'll make her see the way she bleeds for me. yes she came out of your body, but I guess you could agree to desire what you want instead of what your children need and you hide out in the mountains where the people cannot see all the ways that you're a bigot who's too beautiful to see underneath, that you hesitate with the Kate in your moonshine gate in the one way state of a brand new age you cross over the valleys in your brand new motorbike you can travel all the lands and go wherever that you like but that doesn't change the message you have left back in the wake a miraculous contention that your bad decisions made when you die die die on the run run run when you die die die on the run run run if she dies dies dies then a part of you dies too when you die die die on the run run run when you die die die on the run run run I'll have fun fun fun when you die die die when you die die die on the run run run you'll see not even god'll forgive what you've done not even god'll forgive what you've done not even god'll forgive what you've done not even god'll forgive what you've done

Walls 03:37
all the broken dancers, leaping off the stage, let go of the daughters, the ones you tried to save, they are gone. Will you be around, when the walls come down? Will you be around. when the walls come down? Will you be around, when the walls come down? Will you be around, when the walls come down? there's lots of tiny racecars, driving in a circle you do not understand them, you don't know where they go, when they die. Will you be around, when the walls come down? Will you be around. when the walls come down? Will you be around, when the walls come down? Will you be around, when the walls come down? Fate, yes it harms. It leaves bruises as it scars and love, love must be blind because it leads us off of cliffs all of the time Will you be around, when the walls come down? Will you be around. when the walls come down? Will you be around, when the walls come down? Will you be around, when the walls come down? there's lots of tiny people, living on the earth, they think they know the answers, but for what it's worth, they do not.
