LYRICS
Are we coming to life
Out of the fate
Of an animated state
Homo sapien nation
Suspended animation

Doesn’t need to be laden
With strife
Sire with lovely maiden
Coming to life

Cryogenics genetics
Evolution stagnation
In the shape of an ape
De-evolution illustration

Time to come to life

LYRICS
Look! Everything’s coming up roses
Looking through my rose-colored glasses

One supposes
Even the politicians don’t appear as asses
No such luck
They’re still looking dumb as….

Still
An optimistic perception
Will
Give rise to immaculate conception
’cause Holy $hit… that’s it!
Time to birth an idea with worth

Look! Everything’s coming up roses
Looking through my rose-colored glasses
The roses are read
Pessimism’s dead

LYRICS
Am I in heaven
Without being dead
As these mortal thoughts
Penetrate my head

Chorus
The hypocrites so hypocritical
They’re gonna shut their own … (You’re letting us down)
Hypocrite equals political
Severely sadistical clown

Sign of the beckon
Nod — yes is said
No more “why nots”
Time freedom is fed

Am I in heaven
Do Overlords fail
Bureaucrat robot
Tiger eats it’s tail

Sigh… oh, the beckon
Nod — yes! We hail
No more brain rot
Freedom needs a wail!

LYRICS
Is there change in the air
Is there change in the anywhere
Is this change uncompared

All a flux for those with bucks

I see London. I see France.
Seeing politicians in their underpants
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
The bigger the crown the harder the down

Re-arrange their despair
Sending hope from here to there
Cause the change if you’re aware

All a flux for those with bucks

ABOUT THE SONG

It’s a song about change and voting on election day.

Heraclitus is famous for his insistence on ever-present change in the universe, as stated in the famous saying, “No man ever steps in the same river twice.”

Plato argues against Heraclitus as follows:
How can that be a real thing which is never in the same state? … for at the moment that the observer approaches, then they become other … so that you cannot get any further in knowing their nature or state …. but if that which knows and that which is known exist ever … then I do not think they can resemble a process or flux ….

LYRICS
You know it’s election day?
What more can I say
We’ve got to change the way
From repressive to O.K.

Chorus
There’s the piper to pay
The Town Crier says, “Everyone’s a liar!”
Corruption — they do what they may
Eruption — the situation’s dire

You know it’s election day?
What more can I do
Run and join the foray?
Wouldn’t want to be like you

Chorus

I know it’s election day
What will change anyway?
The same ole’s gonna stay
Unless we all vote *nay*
