corporation terror
wake the guest of honour who ravaged the world,
if the body is burning, and the body is burning, let the body burn,
corporation terror tears you from your bedside to hit you on your headside:
etched you on the pavement, that's you on the pavement, gut you on the floor...
while we want to stop the war,
we coalesce violently and stand paralysed and wondering
don't need an invitation to cast out all complacence and leave on your own
the body's in motion, if the body's in motion, then let the body move!
hail the space invaders,who colonized containers, crammed us in the crator
here's to corporation terror, and all its implicators, and glaring escalators:
we're signing off...
we can grow our own, we can grow our own, we can grow our own
burn up all your paychecks, talk to all the insects, radiate away
we'll fall in love, not fall in line, we will break forth, so remember this:
what was our insides now becomes our outsides now becomes our insides, and
what was our outsides now becomes our insides now becomes our outsides, and...

ten billion years
darlin' when you hear this, don't let it burst your eardrums,
in ten billion years, the sun will blow us apart, it implodes upon itself, and creates a vacuum, engulfing what surrounds... do-do-do-do-do-dooo
into tiny pieces, we'll be blown apart…
oh! oh? oh!? oh? uhhh…. uh? ahhh! ahhhh!
now that you know this, you are not immune, there's no need to fight it, it doesn't make a difference,
so put it in your body, one day we'll be as one, all the children's laughter, all the nuclear weapons:
sinking back to nothing, sinking back to everything, spinning 'round in circles, across the universe.
eh, yeah yah, yah, oh, eeeeeeeeeeeeee, ahhhhhhhh!!! ohhhh! ahhhh!

colonizer, colonized
lay low, remember where you come from, stand quiet, fall in line, stand silent in the clearing, stand silent among the clear-cuts,
sign all of the paperwork, sign on the dotted line, reach forth to new dimensions, graze forth and multiply, ever faster to the eschaton, i am colonizer, and i am colonized.
i'm colonizer and i am colonized.
give up all of your places, sever all family ties, go forth, you are alone now, go forth, fly away.
give up your language, give up your culture, give up your language, give up your culture.
history gets (sh) tamed, banal and mundane, the choir sings: 'we are not to blame, we just profit off all the pain, we are colonizer and we are colonized, we are colonizer cause we are colonized'
and: 'oh my child you are another civilization'
we moved the lake, we moved the water, we moved the lake, we moved the water, pumped it in to all the houses, pumped it in and now it serves us,
we moved the lake, we moved the water, we moved the lake, we moved the water, pumped it in to all the houses, built upon the shattered cultures,
but oh my child, you are another civilization, oh my child, another spin around the propellor,
oh my child, you are another civilization, well oh my child, another spin around the propellor,

two sides to a sphere
they're all on my side, they're all on my side, they're not all on my side, there's two sides to a sphere,
think i'll lay low for a while, well think i'll lay low for a while, well i think i'll lay low for while and confront all i fear,
the body aches with desire, the body aches with desire, the body will never be free.
and i will not tire of this place, i will not tire of this place, i will not tire of this place
think i'll lay low for a while, well i think i'll lay low for a while, well i think i'll lay low for a while and deconstruct my dreams,
all the things that will conspire, all the things that will conspire to interrupt your being, to complicate you.
they're not all on my side, they're all on my side, they're all on my side, there's one side to a sphere,
think i'll law low for a while, think i'll law low for a while, think i'll law low for a while, and confront all i fear.
ooooooooooooooooohhhhh ooooooooooooooo oooooooooooo ooooooooooo

naked you
buildings fall, the walls collapse, and see us down, and leave us down, and leave us, leave us, leave, us, leave…
and you don't want to fuck this up, don't want to fuck this up, don't want to fuck this, fuck this, fuck this, fuck this…
always down, don't see no up, and always up, don't see no down, but eventually all things must come falling down, and rise back up.
now it's time to face the crowd, you know it's not a crowd, it's made of the ones you love.
i know you will see it through, you're gonna, see it through, to naked, naked, naked, naked… you.
uh-huh. uh-huh.
oh, oh ahh oh oh, ahhh oooohhh, oh, ohhhhh oh oh oh ohhhhh oh oh oooooooo, ahhh oh ahh oh ahhhhh oh oooooo, ooooo, ooooo,
