about half-way through our fifth project:

>> duck, duck, goose (mp3)



call him dick, or tom, or harry,
cause he ain't no man's sucker,
he's got a taste for the Man,
and he's a mean, mean muther fucker.

fighting over the food,
hanging out in the gaggle,
he's always arguing with the brood,
just watch that Man-tail waggle.

yeah, the senator told me,
boy, you won't go far,
with that bass on your knee,
and a funky, scratch, guitar.

but i thought he was tying,
a blindfold around my head,
- turns out he was lying,
he was trying to fuck me instead.

duck, duck, goose,
duck, duck, goose,
... go ahead and put your in head the noose.


duck, duck, duck, duck - duck, goose,
don't you think, that if they had a use,
for the people in the system,
they were taught to abuse,
that they wouldn't need to muscle,
to hustle and confuse.

duck, duck, duck - duck, goose,
...
gonna see who they can pick on,
make some money off abuse.

...
gonna kick you when you're down,
when they beat the living crap,
out of any thing that moves.

duck, duck, goose,
duck, duck, goose,
... go ahead an put your head in the noose.

>> shush (mp3)



birds and lovely flowers bloom,
the smell of coffee pancakes.
in a whir of modern fantasy,
a tight, latin combo breaks...

your hair is soft to touch,
and i got, nothing to do,
that's why i'm gonna sit here
make another song for you

shush
and hear my next lovely song,
about pretty shit,
and not what's wrong,

while you're up and out
getting you're groove on
the world melts around us
in a soft painful song

i understand, sometimes you got to
hear a song
but what you gonna do, when no one's gonna
play along

shush
and hear my next lovely song,
about pretty shit
and not what's wrong

shush...

shush,
don't think,
and buy my next,
lovely song.

>> pandora's box (mp3)



well the time she was ticking
the taste was finger-licking
the sound, it was trickling
not the thing that i was expecting

yeah, i thought i knew it
i told the world that they could screw it
- there was really nothing to it -
at least until i blew it

it's not the thing
that i was expecting
i didn't get the thing
that i was expecting

later, for grins and giggles
i learned to move my finger
- see how it wiggles
i learned to love, and not linger

i throw positive vibes
i seek positive tribes
and make the thing
i was not expecting

throw positive vibes
seek positive tribes
and make the thing
you were not expecting

oh sure, you'll fuck up sometimes
but you know that's how
- how you make the rhyme -
and you paint the times

before your time goes
i want you to make sure
the whole world knows
the thing you were not expecting

throw positive vibes
seek positive tribes
and make the thing
you were not expecting

>> the awful truth (mp3)



freedom to golf,
at a hundred bucks a round.
freedom for big tits,
and all the new drugs we've found.

free to be stupid,
yeah, we're free to be stupid

freedom to drive,
our whole houses on wheels.
free to pass the buck,
and play God, and see how it feels.

free to be stupid,
yeah, we're free to be stupid

free to be stupid.
that's all we want.
free to be stupid.
and we're free to flaunt...

free to be stupid,
yeah, we're free to be stupid



freedom to point,
firmly affixing blame.
freedom to ignore fact,
unless i think exactly the same.

free to be stupid,
yeah, we're free to be stupid

freedom for me,
is all that really matters.
the freedom not to see,
is the freedom that we're after.

free to be stupid,
yeah, we're free to be stupid

free to be stupid.
that's all we want.
free to be stupid.
we're free to flaunt,

free to be stupid,
yeah, we're free to be stupid.

another recent addition:

>> perseus (mp3)



while the dogs were caught napping
spent 8k last year alone
on the gasoline and yapping
and saying nothing on the phone

and while the rat race bought the laughing
with a growth-orientation
wonders never seemed to cease
land the wages of inflation

i don't care what you call brother,
yeah, i'll knock you off your throne,
if you don't leave my mum -
leave my mother alone.

- -__

but man, it's always in the gassing
always passing for gold
while we fit in The status quo
while we do what it is we're told

but there's something i wanna know
put my head in the noose
what are you gonna do
when i bring you the head of medusa

i don't care what you call brother,
yeah, i'll knock you off your throne,
if you don't leave my mom -
leave my mother alone.

>> early times (mp3)



>> technical help (mp3)



it's like i'm hiding inside
the shell, of a broken system
we're talking people of pride
and the folks who'll never listen

fighting for our way of life
in black and white is all
and never really stopping to think
what might be causing the strife

ignorance is an institution
we start them young for sure
but come the time we need a head
the burn of apathetic churns

so are we really being mean
where dick and don will juggle
where being slick, is part of the struggle
in the fight for cheap gasoline?

hey man - can you hear me?
yeah i'm standing right here
and i know we've got a lot to fear,
be there's no need to get mean

it's as if i'm hiding inside
the shell, of a broken system
we're talking people of pride
and the folks who'll never listen

>> american communicatation (mp3)



out past the economics
of trickling on down
sounds out all the frowns
of the prime-time cable clowns

they're always bouncing quarters
off the beds of their own heads
locked up all the borders
and beefed up all the Feds

so you better pick your friends
if you're gonna get out of here alive
because it just might be the end
down that road that we all strive

here we go again
down that same old street
where it's just corporations
making all the ends meet...

first we blame the teachers
then we cut the taxes
the rest goes to bermuda
in an office full of faxes

and here we go again
down that same old street
where it's just corporations
making all the end's meat...

but man, it's all so scary
when the criminals all crime
but the day is ordinary
when no one can make a dime

so you better pick your friends
if you're gonna get out alive
because it just might be the end
down that road that we all strive

here we go again
down that same old street
where it's just corporations
making all the ends meet...
