== Lyrics ==
We Will Live
Without love, there is no hate
Without terrible, there is no great
Without me, without you
Without the very last thing I can do
We will live x4
Without day, there is no night
Without peace, there is no fight
Without the preacher, without the school
Without the big man coming after you
We will live x4
Yeah the people, the people will live
yeah the people will live x4
Mystified, I see
A different part of me
My humanity
We will live
Without love, there is no hate
Without apathy, there is no fate
Without kings, without war
Without the need, the need for something more
We will live x4
We Are Machine
Queen
Gasoline
If the Earth could speak,
It would scream
We are machine
Living in a fossil fever dream
Smokescreen
Blinded by industry, reign supreme
Hide
Cyanide
Speaks for me while silent
Mind your pride
Gaiacide
Zombie reefs, undead forests change your mind
Alkaline
Unnatural but it's never been a crime
John Lemon
I'm going to lead a former life
Said John Lemon to his wife
She said bring a souvenir for me
John Lemon laughed and said I'll bring three
Hey man where you goin with that guitar
He said to me not very far
There's a creek down where I like to jam
That's my bag man, that's who I am
And then he laid it down
I'm going to be a normal man
Said John Lemon to his band
They said let us know what it's like
Just don't stop playin that guitar
Alright
Too slow!
Oh, John Lemon's got it made
His old guitar still getting played
He goes down to his favorite creek
Usually two or three times a week
Years will pass and things may change
Sometimes familiar sometimes strange
John Lemon is still singing his song
Won't you come down and sing along?
It goes like
Employed/Destroyed
Say, how would you like
To work a while for me
I don't have to know
If you are what we need
And I really don't care
About worker quality
If you know one of us, well goddamn
That's good enough for me
Get to work now!
Employed! Destroyed! x4
Come on Down
Come on down
See how your friends are made
Come on down
Have a seat in the shade
Come on down
With each other, we're alright
Come on down
Revolution's not a one man fight
Come on down
See how your friends are made
Come on down
Have a seat in the shade
Come on down
See how it's all the same
Come on down
Tell me your mother's name
FMFY
Fuck me, fuck you
Too Fast/Too Slow
Waiting for the posters to fall
Come and grow as the plants grow tall
My mind goes where I am unable
Silence at the empty table
Wake up to a calendar dance
Seems nice from a window glance
Long arm moving too fast, too free for me
A stranger's all I can see
Right now
Too slow
Right here
Oh no
Time doesn't care about your long, long hair
Right then
Too fast
Oh when
Will it last?
This is gonna leave a mark
Are you ready for the dark?
I Don't Care
I don't care about the things that never mattered
I don't care about the mirrors that I shattered
If you give me bad luck, well tough shit, I'll work it out
Don't need to be reminded of the things that I don't care about
Don't care about perfect ads on TV screens
Don't care about celebrities and magazines
All I ever wanted was some fucking time alone
But I got tailored ads for fast food on my phone
I don't care about awards that I don't get to choose
Don't care about ten thousand dollar tennis shoes
It leaves me feeling empty and alone, I know it's not just me
Who needs a break from living in a corporate horror b movie
I cannot overstate the need I have to share my apathy
Towards unimportant bullshit with a superficial quality
Collective vampire content always robs me of my energy
Don't care, don't want, don't like, don't love, don't need
Fuck!
The Flawless Haul
Never before
A crew had ignored
The rule of the pirate lord
Sinking their ship
The hull starts to drip
Fire and blunder be gripped
Beard Beard would fly
From cannon sky high
Gunpowder keg in his eye
Drunk Chunk would swig
Locked in the brig
Dancing a mighty fine jig
Zoidbeard would gab
And dance like a crab
A fish on the stove he did grab
And Banana Bill
Seeking a thrill
Armed with a fruit, he would kill
Known were they true
'Cross ocean blue
Seeking out treasure from you
So come one and all
To hear tales tall
Of the crew of the Flawless Haul
