Brainwashed

Pull the covers off our heads
And wipe the film from our eyes
Nothing so far that’s been said
Separates truth from the lies
It was wrong not fight
Not to mention
Not to step in the light
Near the nine o’clock gun
Errol Flynn shot with adrenaline
When you’re brainwashed
All the pain stops
And the trained henchmen march
Patty Hearst played it great
In her palm she held the state
Sodomizing Citizen Kane
The rosebud that bloomed in vain

Iodine

Die in the morning
To survive through the day
Dive off the mooring
Let the tide carry away
Every morning is the sherpa when you’re out all night
Vinyl flooring seagull chirping in your iodine
Eva Gabor actress businesswoman socialite
Sitting poolside morning sunshine high…
Dive into boredom
With the chives on toupe
We survived all the warnings
Autopilot engaged
Cry without warning
Die getting laid
Fried in the forming
Head’s cooking eggs
Every sector of the market selling iodine
Tanning cleansing spilling stinging fluid valentine
Arc descending tragic factory launching Yoyodyne
Smoke is choking out the sun, sun
I’ve been taking medication
And it’s been working overtime
I’ve been leaving them inside you
There’s something that I’d like to find

Take Me With You

It's called faking a living
There is no forgiving
It's not my fault
It's not like that
I have trouble believing
The demon isn't deceiving
Like Descartes said
Now Descartes’ dead
So please take me with you when you go
Cuz I, I don't want to be alone
I would never ask that
I could never ask that
Hours of work with no meaning
Won't even go to the screenings
With names that crawl
It's not my fault
So please take me with you when you go
Because I, I don't want to be alone
I would never ask that
I could never ask that
To where the sun shines brighter
Moods are lighter
Emerging from the cloud of oppression
So please take me with you when you go
Because I, I don't want to be alone
I would never ask that
I could never ask that
Take me with you

Hey now now
I’ll never get up again
Watching the window pane fill up with sand
Arms pinned down
But it’s such a peaceful weight
Keeping my foot on brake
And muffling all sound
Could this be the end?
A finish and no beginning?
Hey now now
I’ll never get up again
Watching the window pane fill up with sand
The aftermath off the overpass
Metal and glass are no protection
The crumpled mass like cans of tin
Now you’re trapped in your own skin
When it comes down to the floor again
When it comes down to the floor again
The search helicopters can’t penetrate the cloud cover
I’m forever fossilized

Please Steal My Car

Please steal my car
Manifold exhaust leak
Motor mounts all cracked
Rear U-joint squeak
Power windows don't work
Turn signals too slow
I turned it on a block ago
I'm gonna turn anyway
I always have the right of way
Please steal my car
High speed shake
Warped front brake
Uneven tread wear
10 miles to the gallon
Stains on the blue seats
All the vacuum lines leak
So much for the power locks
The dash lights flicker off
Please steal my car
Steal my car and have a wreck
I'd rather have an insurance cheque
So take it away
Steal my car
I took her down to Jiffy Lube
Like a father in a waiting room
I pace the floor expectantly
It always ends up costing me
Please steal my car

Hearts & Minds

I want you out of my bed
I don’t want to lie anymore
Turbulence has gone to my head
I don’t want to fly anymore
This crust tastes like stale bread
I don’t want to bake pies anymore
I lost the key to the shed
I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm no more
For their world to save you
There is something they want back in return
Let the words enslave you
Without question, without thinking or you burn
Minds, hearts and minds
I mop the walls instead
My floors don’t shine anymore
The town paints itself red
I don’t use turpentine anymore
I wanna be sedated
Don’t wanna walk around with you
It’s like Joey said
Hey daddy-o I don’t wanna go down to the basement
For their world to save you
There is something they want back in return
Let the words enslave you
Without question, without thinking or you burn
Minds, hearts and minds
The twilight’s last gleaming
Gallantly streaming
Bombs bursting in air
The lies were still there
Minds, hearts and minds

I quite like the way you talk
Into the television
As if it could listen
I quite like the way your thoughts
Are broadcast transmissions
In packets of sentience
And your friends in the end
Are like broken bones on the mend
You can't lead a horse to walk who won't follow
To the men who contend
That life's bargain’s not Faustian
If I had my druthers I wouldn't have married your mother
Telomeres
I quite like the way you talk
Into the television
As if it could listen
And your friends in the end
Are like broken bones on the mend
You can't lead a horse to walk who won't follow
To the men who contend
That life's bargain’s not Faustian
If I had my druthers I wouldn't have married your mother

Oh, Hillary
Can we talk about the death of democracy?
And the corporate welfare state?
Can we get it together now before it’s all too late?
I hope your head’s on straight
When the light hits your eyes that way
You’re the only one who understands
The Fortune 500 funds another term
If you remember what not to say
There’ll be plenty of gas in the motorcade
We complicit people won’t stop oppression
How silly of me
I forgot to set the clock to 1963
When their voices spoke
It took another 60 years before the water broke
And the system choked
Say goodnight, say goodnight
Say goodnight, say goodnight
I’ve had enough

River's Flow

Before the sun comes up
I hesitate to clean up the blood
Another beautiful night with a perfect end
So satisfied I taste my hands
I see you walking hand in hand
Under moonlight’s false security
You race the river into my trap
Enjoy your last kiss for me
Down to river’s edge
I climb behind the water shed
I crack the skulls with careful blows
Baptized in the river’s flow
Into the river's flow
Tonight brings unwanted guests
To see the red river crest
But you won't die because I dive
Into the waters that I blessed
Down to river’s edge
I climb behind the water shed
I crack the skulls with careful blows
Baptized in the river’s flow
Into the river's flow
