LYRICS
Is that what you really wanted to happen
It’s a given…
She’ll make you cry
Is this what you really thought was heaven
Dante’s oven…
You’re gonna fry

You’re gonna fry
When you die
When you die

Do you know
Is this where you wanted to go
Do you care
That you’re already there
Sitting in your holding cell
Waiting at the gates of hell
Waiting at the gates of hell
Or can’t you tell?

LYRICS
Can’t wait
Blank slate
Can’t wait
To get down to it

Blank page
Open cage
Blank page
And time to fill it

Have you heard
That the word
Is mightier than the sword

Chorus

Institution
Corruption
Obstruction
Eradication

Chorus

Does looking in the mirror
Make you feel queerer
When your image is clearer
The truth is getting nearer

This just is justice

LYRICS
Touching you through glass
The feeling just won’t pass
Does it matter…
In case of emergency,
Shatter!

Alas,
Touching you through glass
The Mad Hatter
Obstructing with chatter

It’s clear I will get through to you
Inevitable that I do
The energy from my mass
Shattering glass
You see…
It’s an emergency

In case of emergency, break glass
Amass world class class
Breaking through to my lass
Pass through to my lass at last

LYRICS
The kettle’s whistling… must be a sign
Time to act before you’re out of time
Hurry, Son, remove it from the heat
Before all the steam you deplete
Turn down the heat
Too much conceit
Sentiments roiling
Society’s boiling

Can’t wait waiter
There’s a fly in my soup
See ya later
Tired of being the dupe
Cuckoo bird’s done flown the coop
Getting out of the endless loop group
Your rational is hazy
Making me dizzy
Your mind’s lazy
Throwin’ a tizzy

LYRICS
Not surprising
Temperatures rising
Under pressure
For sure

Gonna rock gneiss
Gonna rock nice and hard
Clear the schoolyard
Original rock undergoes a metamorphism
Sonic orgasm
Sonic orgasmic
On coarse for an extreme shearing force

Chorus

High-grade metamorphic process (Sick!)
Playing with a gneiss band
Rock throughout the land
Ingenuous igneous
Morphed into gneiss
Nice… genius
Ingenious genius
Dazzling orthogneiss
Are with the bad or the nice?

Chorus

Clickity clack going down the track
Letting my brain take a train
Why no take a train of thought… why not?
Going to get her tonight
I’m going to get her tonight

Shifting mode driving down the road
Long as I’m alive gonna drive, drive, drive
Going to get her tonight

Going to get her tonight
Alright!

Bring in the love from above
Flying high through the sky
Going to get her tonight
I’m going to get her tonight
Going to get her tonight
Alright!

Setting off Cupid’s alarms
Now I’ve got advice tonight
Squeeze and hold her nice and tight
Going to get her tonight

LYRICS
It’s reigning strange
On the home and the range
When the most hypocritical resident
Could become President
Reigning strange
Infected with mange

When the partner is estrange
It’s time for a change
How could we forget
To reject the bigot
We better, we better bet
He’s not our last regret

LYRICS
My baby’s sinking ships
With those lips and hips
At my heart is rips
Missin’ those lips and hips

Making me go mental
Packing something special
Mama, bring it on home
Tired of being alone
Take those lips and hips on trips
Lips and hips takin’ trips

Causing a solar eclipse
With those lips and hips
My emotions it grips
Missin’ those lips and hips

The East Coast misses you the most
Pack those lips and hips
Philadelphia wants to see ya
Pack those lips and hips

Not into sufferin’ fools
Think it’s time we choose

If you can’t sing
And you can’t dance
Do you even stand a chance
Of being free
Can you tell me?

Here’s the thing

Give you a fighting chance
Of being free
You’re tellin’ me

What you bring
To the dancehall dance
Gives your soul a chance
Of being free
Lord, set me free!

LYRICS
Was it Job or Leviticus
That said God’ld cut us to the quick
Perhaps it’s time to cry n’ fuss
Squeeze the puss… scream and kick

The Reaper’s sickle
Reaping quicker
Isn’t that fickle
Ripping quicker, quicker
Ripping sicker quicker

Was it Moses or Jesus
That said God’ld cut us to the quick
Perhaps it’s time for all of us
To refuse to be then next brick
And it’s just as well
If you cast the spell
Upon you
The spawn of demon’s hell
Angels fell
’cause of you

LYRICS
It’s hard to believe
The misdeed
Hard to concede
To tyranny
You know it can’t come to fast
For karma to kick ’em in the ass

It’s hard to believe
The misdeed
Hard to concede
To tyranny
You know it will come at last
When all things will pass

It’s hard to conceive
The sheer greed
Hard receive
Wantin’ta grieve
Has the role in which you’re cast
Thrown you behind a scary mask

It’s hard to conceive
The sheer greed
Hard receive
Wantin’ta grieve
All your gall and bombast
A shadow in which you bask

All your gall and bombast
A shadow in which you bask

LYRICS
When I’m dead and gone
Don’t let your face grow long
Just keep a place in you heart
A sweet ‘lil space for a start

No need for a grave marker
Don’t let your days grow darker
Just keep a place in you heart
A sweet ‘lil space for a start

Then, I can begin
Movin’ in
Makin’ the situation win-win
Just keep a place in you heart
A sweet ‘lil space for a start

Don’t wrap me in a bloody sheet
Don’t drop me down 6-feet-deep
Just keep a place in you heart
A sweet ‘lil space for a start

Don’t want the worms crawling in and out
No flies playing pinochle on my snout
Just keep a place in you heart
A sweet ‘lil space for a start

Then, I can commence movin’ in
And the romance of love starts growin’
Then, I can commence movin’ in
And the romance of love fillin’ in

Just keep a place in you heart
A sweet ‘lil space for a start
