    2+2=5
    Are you such a dreamer?
    To put the world to rights?
    I'll stay home forever
    Where two & two always
    makes up five

    I'll lay down the tracks
    Sandbag & hide
    January has April's showers
    And two & two always
    makes up five

    It's the devil's way now
    There is no way out
    You can scream & you
    can shout
    It is too late now
    Because

    You have not been
    paying attention

    I try to sing along
    I get it all wrong
    Ezeepeezeeeezeepeeezee
    NOT
    I swat em like flies but
    Like flies the burgers
    Keep coming back
    NOT
    Maybe not
    "All hail to the thief"
    "But I am not!"
    "Don't question my authority
    or put me in the dock"
    Cozimnot!
    Go & tell the king that
    The sky is falling in
    When it's not
    Maybe not.

    Ive said something a 1000 times now.

    Go without,
    'Til the need seeps in,
    You're low anymore,
    Collect your novel petals for the stem,

    And glow,
    Glow,
    Melt and flow,
    Eviscerate your fragile frame,
    And spill it out in the ragged floor,
    A thousand different versions of yourself,

    And if the old guard still offend,
    They got nothing left on which you depend,
    So enlist every ounce,
    Of your bright blood,
    And off with their heads,

    Jump from a book,
    You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise,
    See, those unrepenting buzzards want your life,
    And they got no right,
    As sure as you have eyes,
    They got no right,

    Just put yourself in my new shoes,
    And see that I do what I do,
    Because the old guard still offend,
    We got nothing left on which we depend,
    So we waste every ounce,
    Of your bright blood,
    And off with their heads,

    Jump from a book,
    And you're not obliged,
    To swallow anything that you despise

    Young Pilgrims
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=vuDZx1wyHq8 (had to pick a cover and this kid was the best of the bunch)

    A cold and wet November dawn
    And there are no barking sparrows
    Just emptiness to dwell upon.

    I fell into a winter slide
    And ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow
    Just eking out my measly pies.

    But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
    Know there is this side of me that
    Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
    Fly the whole mess into the sea.

    Another slow train to the coast
    Some brand new gory art from way on high
    I sink and then I swim all night.

    I watch the ice melt on the glass
    While the eloquent young pilgrims pass
    And leave behind their trail
    Imploring us not to fail.

    Of course I was raised to gather courage from those
    Lofty tales so tried and true and
    If you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this
    Modern thought can get the best of you.

    This rather simple epitaph can save your hide your falling mind
    Fate isn't what we're up against there's no design no flaws to find
    There's no design no flaws to find.

    But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
    Know I got this side of me that
    Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
    Fly the whole mess into the sea.



    Nothing At All

    Well there's an ideal inside of me,
    That we're nothing at all.
    There's nothing threatening controlling me,
    In fact there's nothing at all.
    And still the wheel turning's all I'll be,
    It carries on til you crawl.
    You gotta know what you want to be,
    But there's no number to call.

    You got a feeling nothing here is free,
    'Cause you grew up in a mall.
    [ huh ] on t.v.
    And you can still hit a ball.
    You got a milllion things you want to flee,
    Smuggle an ounce in a doll.
    I see you can finally see,
    That they're nothing at all.
    Turns out there's nothing at all.

    There must be a flaw in this fatal eye,
    Have to contend with all night.

    Wasn't alive back in the sixties,
    Somehow that was my fault.
    I'm just a shell empty as can be,
    Yeah, I've got nothing at all.
    You want to put your trust in some solid thing,
    Yeah, its a drug to us all.
    But there's no ideal inside of me,
    So I got nothing at all,
    No I got nothing at all,
    and I got nothing at all.

    Must be a fault in this fatal eye,
    Have to contend with all night,
    Such a danger so we gotta slide,
    Into the depths of the salt mine.

    There's nothing at all...
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

    Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window
    Go back to sleep

    Lay your head down child
    I won't let the boogeyman come

    Counting bodies like sheep
    To the rhythm of the war drums

    Pay no mind to the rabble
    Pay no mind to the rabble

    Head down, go to sleep
    To the rhythm of the war drums

    Pay no mind what other voices say
    They don't care about you, like I do, like I do
    Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
    See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.

    Just stay with me, safe and ignorant,
    Go back to sleep
    Go back to sleep

    Lay your head down child
    I won't let the boogeyman come
    Count the bodies like sheep
    To the rhythm of the war drums

    Pay no mind to the rabble
    Pay no mind to the rabble

    Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

    I'll be the one to protect you from
    Your enemies and all your demons

    I'll be the one to protect you from
    A will to survive and a voice of reason

    I'll be the one to protect you from
    Your enemies and your choices son
    They're one in the same
    I must isolate you
    Isolate and save you from yourself

    Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and
    Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums

    The boogeymen are coming
    The boogeymen are coming

    Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drums

    Stay with me
    Safe and ignorant
    Just stay with me
    Hold you and protect you from the other ones
    The evil ones
    Don't love you son,
    Go back to sleep
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    So glad to see you have overcome them.
    Completely silent now
    With heaven's help
    You cast your demons out
    And not to pull your halo down
    Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
    But I'm more than just a little curious
    How you're planning to go about
    Making your amends to the dead
    To the dead

    Recall the deeds as if
    They're all someone else's
    Atrocious stories
    Now you stand reborn before us all
    So glad to see you well

    And not to pull your halo down
    Around your neck and tug you to the ground
    But I'm more than just a little curious
    How you're planning to go about
    Making your amends to the dead
    To the dead

    With your halo slipping down
    Your halo slipping
    Your halo slipping down
    Your halo slipping down
    Your halo slipping down

    Your halo slipping down to choke you now
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Im the smiling face on your t.v.
    Im the cult of personality
    I exploit you still you love me

    I tell you one and one makes three
    Im the cult of personality
    Like joseph stalin and gandi
    Im the cult of personality

    You dont have to follow me
    Only you can set you free

    You gave me fortune
    You gave me fame
    You me power in your gods name

  • Breathe - Pink Floyd

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=1ku-ma1dVI8


    Breathe, breathe in the air
    Don't be afraid to care
    Leave but don't leave me
    Look around and chose your own ground
    For long you live and high you fly
    And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
    And all you touch and all you see
    Is all your life will ever be
    Run, run rabbit run
    Dig that hole, forget the sun,
    And when at last the work is done
    Don't sit down it's time to dig another one
    For long you live and high you fly
    But only if you ride the tide
    And balanced on the biggest wave
    You race toward an early grave.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

    Freeway through a reservation,
    Make way for a brand new nation,
    Big ideas, we got brand new plans,
    Heaven knows we need this land,
    We're gonna build big, high and wide city streets
    Through countrysides, chemicals, and pesticides.
    This land is our land.

    Hey, redman don't waste our time,
    We're young and strong, we got hills to climb,
    There's a lot of room but we need it all
    For slave trade and shopping malls,
    Gonna build big factories with paper plates and plastic trees
    Styrofoam and antifreeze.
    This land is our land.

    This land is our land,
    This land is our land,
    This land is our land,

    Well we came out of a ragin' sea,
    To claim someplace whre we'd be free,
    We got hopeful hearts, workin hands and
    Heaven knows we need this land
    Cause the world needs land fills, diet pills and papermills
    We need country clubs and oil spills.

    This land is our land.

    This land is your land This land is my land
    From California to the New York island;
    From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
    This land was made for you and Me.

    As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
    I saw above me that endless skyway:
    I saw below me that golden valley:
    This land was made for you and me.

    I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
    To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
    And all around me a voice was sounding:
    This land was made for you and me.

    When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
    And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
    As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
    This land was made for you and me.

    As I went walking I saw a sign there
    And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
    But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
    That side was made for you and me.

    In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
    By the relief office I seen my people;
    As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
    Is this land made for you and me?

    Nobody living can ever stop me,
    As I go walking that freedom highway;
    Nobody living can ever make me turn back
    This land was made for you and me.

    n the deepest ocean
    Bottom of the sea
    Your eyes
    They turn me
    Why should i stay here?
    Why should i stay?
    I'd be crazy not to follow
    Follow where you lead

    Your eyes
    They turn me
    Turn me on to phantoms
    I follow to the edge of the earth
    And fall off
    Everybody leaves
    If they get the chance
    And this is my chance
    I get eaten by the worms
    And weird fishes
    Picked over by the worms
    And weird fishes
    Weird fishes
    Weird fishes

    I'll hit the bottom
    Hit the bottom and escape
    I'll hit the bottom
    Hit the bottom to escape
    Escape

    Here from the king's mountain view
    Here from the wild dream come true
    Feast like a sultan I do
    On treasures and flesh, never few.

    But I, I would wish it all away.
    If I thought I'd Lose you just one day.

    The devil and his had me down,
    in love with the dark side I'd found.
    Dabble in all the way down
    up to my neck soon to drown.

    But you changed that all for me.
    Lifted me up, turned me round.
    So I...
    I...
    I...
    I...
    I would
    I would
    I would
    Wish this all away

    Prayed like a martyr dusk to dawn.
    Beg like a hooker all night long.
    Tempted the devil with my song.
    And got what I wanted all along.

    But I,
    And I would,
    If I could,
    And I would,
    Wish it away,
    Wish it away,
    Wish it all away,
    Wanna wish it all away,
    No prize that could hold sway,
    Or justify my giving away,
    my center.

    So if I could I'd wish it all away.
    If I thought tomorrow would take you away.
    You're my peace of mind, my home, my center.
    I'm just trying to hold on,
    One more day.

    Damn my eyes...
    Damn my eyes...

    Damn my eyes if they should compromise
    our fulcrum if wants and needs divide me then
    I might as well be gone.

    Shine on forever.
    Shine on benevolent son.

    Shine down upon the broken.
    Shine until the two become one.

    Shine on forever.
    Shine on benevolent son.

    Shine on upon the severed.
    Shine until the two become one.

    Divided I'll wither away.

    Divided I'll wither away.

    Shine on upon the many, light our way
    Benevolent son.

    Breathe in union.
    Breathe in union.
    Breathe in union.
    Breathe in union.
    Breathe in union.
    So as one survive.
    Another day and season.

    Silence legion, stay your poison.
    Silence legion, and stay out of my way.

    One by one, ticking time bombs won
    It's not the secret of the government
    That;s keeping you dumb
    Oh, it's the other way around - wait...
    What's that sound?
    One by one, baby, here they come.

    He wants it easy; he want it relaxed
    Said I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that
    Two steps forward, then three steps back
    ...Alright

    "Won't you take a walk outside?"
    -Oh no.
    "Can't you find some other guy?"
    -Oh no.
    "1 9 6 9 what's that sound?"
    -Oh no.
    Keeping down the underground

    Oh no...

    The end has no end the end has no end
    The end has no end the end has no end

    He want it easy; he want it relaxed
    Said I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that
    Two steps forward, then three steps back
    It won't be easy

    "Won't you take a walk outside?"
    -Oh no.
    "Can't you find another guy?"
    -Oh no.
    "1 9 6 3 what's that sound?"
    -Oh no.
    Keeping down the underground

    Oh no...

    The end has no end the end has no end
    The end has no end the end has no end
    The end has no end the end has no end
    The end has no end the end has no end...

    I will stop, I will stop at nothing.
    Say the right things when electioneering
    I trust I can rely on your vote.

    When I go forwards you go backwards
    and somewhere we will meet.
