LYRICS
Have I been here before
Would I come back for more
The memory escapes me
Carnage and gore
Who wants more war?
A rational from hell
Men striking their pose
Theater of war game
Men spreading their woes
Humane’s not the same
… gone insane
Mass hallucination nation

LYRICS
Floating and flaming
Your ill-luminary
Lit up the monkey house
Pointing and blaming
Our coal mine’s canary
With the brain of a mouse
(Lit up the monkey house)
Never cease to amaze
Set the apes ablaze
Burned down the monkey house
(Lit up the monkey house)
Burned down the monkey house
(Lit up the monkey house)
“I’m sorry” comes too late
For prone, glowin’ primate
Set ablaze the caged
In the monkey house
Burned down the monkey house
(Lit up the monkey house)
Floating and flaming
Your ill-luminary
Lit up the monkey house
Burned down the monkey house
ABOUT THE SONG
Inspired by the tragic event: “Krefeld Zoo primates killed as sanctuary burns down”
A mother and her two daughters have turned themselves in to police over a blaze that killed dozens of animals at a zoo in Germany on New Year’s Eve, police confirmed on Thursday. The three women are being investigated for setting off flying lanterns, which are banned. The enclosure housed gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees and marmosets.

LYRICS
Can’t pass as mass
The velocity of me
Is gaining momentum
I am
Gaining momentum
… here I come
From from… to you
Will it
Faster than a speeding bullet
Approaching
The speed of light
In fact
Our impact
will be a driving force
Of course
As I am
Gaining momentum

LYRICS
I mean in the grand scheme
What’s a mere human being
If while being the human being
Doesn’t know the meaning of being
Must be out of my mind
To contemplate the fate
Of humankind
I’ll learn in an instant
Life is but a brief bit
I’ll learn in and instant
Live is but a brief bit

LYRICS
I don’t know about the cause
But after the alarm
The reason for pause…
Old white men in control
Cause out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control)
I don’t know about the cause
But resulting in harm
Turns us to was
Old white men in control
Caused out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control)
Sounding the alarm for years
[howling and sirens]
Spreading and shedding tears
Now you tell me…
None can see?
Nobody hears?
Old white men in control
Chose out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control
… guess that’s how they roll)
Most shockin’ —
At the peril of their own kin
… the demise of their own tribe
Too late to think to learn to think
EXTINCT!

Bringing being to been
Again and again
All my life
That’s all I am
Bringing being to am

LYRICS
I’ve become disillusioned
At the delusion of your vision
The delusion that’s ahead
In your head
Talk about believing in the living dead
I believe… I’ve become numb and dumb
Overcome by your delusion
Horrid torrid vision
That’s ahead in your head
Take back our station
Without hesitation
Get disillusional
In your heart and in your soul
Let it start in your heart
With the goal to fill your soul

LYRICS
Won’t you
Come to
Consciousness becomes you
Won’t you
Come to
Open eyes
Take a view
I am; therefore, I think
Life passes in a blink
Take time to take all your time
I think; therefore, I’m
Wake up, Sunshine!
Everything will be fine
Wake up, Stardust!
Home to heaven… or bust
Hey, there! Daydream
Through reality’s seam
Hey, now! Dazed scene
Life’s to be seen

LYRICS
Not being a jerk
Takes a lot of work
Where did I go?
I don’t know
To “to and fro”
In the world’s show
At any age
Life is a stage
Some sort of lark
Out of the dark
Where will I go
Time to know
To “to and fro”
In the world’s show
At any age
Life is a stage
Leaving my mark
Be bold or stark?
The more I go
… the more I know
Get on with the show

LYRICS
Look! Up in the sky
Is that a bird?
How absurd
A bird can fly
And that UFO… you know… is falling…
Falling down
On to the ground
Our standard of living
With no misgiving
Our morals and ethics
For fun and for kicks
Yeah, that U Fn’ O… you know… is falling…
Falling down
On to the ground
You look quite perplexed
I dunno maybe next
Your jaw will drop in awe
Head and neck will hit the deck
Yeah, that U Fn’ O… you know… is falling…
Falling down
On to the ground

LYRICS
It’s not if we can
It’s if, if we will
How long can we wait
Prolong hesitate
It’s not if we could
It’s if, if we would
How long can we wait
Prolong hesitate
Not up for debate
No. We can not wait
How long can we wait
Prolong hesitate
The time is at hand
Think we’ll understand
So long to the wait
Post procrastinate

LYRICS
As to the taste of the highfalutin
And fancy
As to the waste… the flatulence
Of the lazy
If you’re head is up your ask
It’s kind-of hard to bask
In the limelight (Right?)
The envy is not green
If you know what I mean?
Jealousy of decrepitcy
Is beyond silly
Delicious ludicrous
Salacious hypocrites
And dimwits

LYRICS
Who wants to be the agitator
Of a wasp or an alligator
Not long to ponder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
Watch the silly monkey
Mouse around with the angry
What a silly monkey
To horse around…
With tolerancey
Who wants to be the one to rile
A viper or a crocodile
No time to wonder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)
Who wants to be the one to say “I am!”
When asked the task
“Who’ll put their head in the mouth of this lion?”
No time to squander
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)
[Poke the bear… if you dare]

LYRICS
I hear you’re coming into a lot of dough
So, I just thought you should know
Fortune and fame
Make you lame
Fortune and fame
Going to drive you insane
And, literally lame
Everybody wants to be your friend
So long as you want to spend
But, when the well runs dry
So long (bye-bye)
Crocodile tears they cry
Everybody wants a piece of your peace
Knocking on your door
Always wanting more
Never cease
Fortune and fame
Make you lame
Fortune and fame
Going to drive you insane
And, literally lame
