LYRICS
Oh noooooo!
OONO
The damage age damage
Age damage Damn age
The damage of age
Oh nooooooooooo!
OONO

Worse than a Yoko to the Beatles
Oh, no
One two many free radical for us all
Oh, no
One too many free radical for us all
The dismay of decay
Don’t want to fade away
Fade away

Worse than a larva attack of beetles
Snakeoil salesman are just weasels
Damn us from the animal kingdom

Longevity travesty of me
… and, it’s getting old
Foretold
… getting old

ABOUT THIS SONG

The free radical theory of aging (FRTA) states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. Strictly speaking, the free radical theory is only concerned with free radicals such as superoxide ( O2 ), but it has since been expanded to encompass oxidative damage from other reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), or peroxynitrite (OONO)

LYRICS
It’s not as though we couldn’t know
Nor we could not care
It’s not as though we couldn’t forgo
Nor we were unaware
I’m guessing there’s no trying denying

That’s it — the culprit

There’s no deniability
When it comes to you and me
We know very well the certainty
The inevitability
Of our vulnerability
Creating our destiny of reality

LYRICS
Can we speed things up a little bit
Please, can we?
Of course we’re on a collision course
Plain to see

Inevitable collateral damage from the hit
Unfortunately, includes me
But, even worse…
Includes all of us

No sense in slowing down
Seize or freeze
Wear the devil’s crown
Cease to be

Can we hurry things up a bit
Please, can we?
Get a divorce from this collision course
Ohhhh humanity

Going to go stand in the sun’s glow
Let the glow flow to the beat
From my head to my feet
Let the glow flow from head to toe
Under the skin from within feel the heat

Feed the soul on the shine of the divine
Devour life whole
A soup thick with music
Ripe with the sweet nectar of the guitar

Now the task to bask some in the sun
With a glance to those who dance

LYRICS
We’re building a prison
You’re already in
We’re building a prison
Too late to begin

It’s time to shout,
Breakout!
‘take my freedom,
Takeout

What’s our independence all about?

They’re building a prison
I’m already in
They’re building a prison
Too late to begin

Watch the fall… Independence Hall
Watching the fall of us all
Watch the travesty of liberty
Sights our eyes should never see

Sprouting, budding, blossoming

LYRICS
When someone’s too tough
Spirits will call their bluff
Comic at the very most
When compared to a ghost

When the trolls and fairies come out to play
It might end up being one scary day
If you don’t give the hunchback some slack
You’ll wish you could take it back

When the gnomes and hairies come out to play
It might end up being your last day
Turn you daylight to pitch black
Step on a crack… break your mother’s back

Can you rest on the pride of your breast
Do you think that’s heavens gate’s test
Can you confess to anything less
Nevertheless, this is our mess

The more you pound
The more you thrust
The more robust?

Can you rest on the pride of your breast
Consider the soul’s incest in your nest
Consider the soul’s incest in your “ness”

Woke up this morning nearly fell out of bed
Had to make sure I was wearing my head
Woke up this morning nearly fell out of bed
What the heck
Thank God for my neck

Woke up this morning… when I hit the deck
I thought I knew what I could expect
Woke up this morning and hit the deck
What the heck
Thank God for my neck

Woke up this morning and started to pray
This is all I could figger’ to say
Woke up this morning and started to pray
“What the heck…
Thank God, for my neck!”

Last thing I remember I lost my head
Can’t recall exactly what I said
What the heck
Thank God for my neck

In the name of sound
Let us rejoice
Listen ’round

A cracker that’s wise

Fly away with me on a sound cloud

Have we forgot
If we listen not
If we listen not
It’s hard to get to heaven if we listen not

A long line…
Grand ma, a concubine
And, I do believe Eve
Went with a serpent

Aren’t women heaven sent
Or are they all hell bent

The labyrinth prison sin
Can you find your way out
Without doubt?

In a field full of mines
Serpents and concubines
A man repents
Serpents and concubines
In a field full of minds
Serpents and concubines

An evolution revolution
Living like we’re in Antiquity
What did we expect would be?
What did we expect we’d see?

Mid-evil?
We’re more than half way there
Medieval
The details of the devil
At this level…
Beware!

Depopulation, deurbanisation, invasion, and movement of peoples!
The crumbling of the steeples

Watch “The Empire”: transpire

In European history, the Middle Ages / Medieval period, lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: Antiquity, Medieval, and Modern. The Medieval period is also subdivided into the Early, the High, and the Late Middle Ages.

Depopulation, deurbanisation, invasion, and movement of peoples, which had begun in Late Antiquity, continued in the Early Middle Ages. The barbarian invaders, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. — Wikipedia
