It used to be that being mean And spewing hate and bile Was never justified It used to be that being nasty Brutal cruel and vile Was social suicide But today the tide has turned And it’s OK to be a turd Yep today the tide has turned And you’ll be glad to learn that It’s cool to be a nazi now It’s cool to be a nazi now It’s cool to be a hateful dick It’s cool to be a nazi piece of shit It used to be that rape and plunder Pillage and destruction Were pretty much maligned It used to be that killing Jews And killing gays and gypsies Was commiting genocide But today the tide has turned And it’s OK to be a merde Yep today the tide has turned And you’ll be glad to learn that It’s cool to be a nazi now It’s cool to be a nazi now It’s cool to be a vicious prick It’s cool to be a nazi piece of shit I may be old fashioned But nazis make me mad I may be behind the times But I’ll be really glad when It’s OK to be nice again It’s OK to be kind again It’s OK to feel love again And it’s cool to punch a nazi in the face again

What would you say? Is this the way? Would you be wowed? Would you be proud? Would you be sad? Would you be glad? Would you be bored? Would you be floored? Would you be moved? Would you be bruised? Would you be pleased? Would you be peeved? Would you be soothed? Would you be wooed? Would you be numb? Would you succumb? I wrote this song Now that you’re gone And I can pretend That you cared

I Remember 03:15
I remember When we could agree to disagree I remember The days of common decency We’d argue with each other But then we’d let each other be I remember When we could agree to disagree I remember But maybe it’s a made up memory I know I didn’t hate you But maybe you detested me I don’t mind your lunacy I don’t mind your idiosyncrasies It doesn’t get my goat Whatever floats your boat But I really wish you’d do the same for me Let me be my weird and quirky me No skin off your back If I’m off the beaten track I remember When we could agree to disagree I remember The days of common courtesy We’d contradict each other And then we’d let each other be I remember When we could agree to disagree I remember But maybe it’s a stupid fantasy I wasn’t out to hurt you But maybe you were out to Beat the living daylights out of me

Padded Cell 03:40
Let me in Let me have it Turn on the faucet Let me in Let me at it Open up the floodgates Let me gawk Let me stalk FOMO in slow mo Let me grasp Let me gasp I wanna know more Let my indignation loose Let my indignation spew Let my indignation grow Let my indignation flow Let it all out Then curl up on the couch With a hot cup of cocoa Binge a show Everybody’s dissing I can’t believe they’re kissing So loco In the oh so comfy Padded cell Draining all the fury In the oh so comfy Padded cell Containing all the noise Of boys being boys Let it all out Then curl up on the bed With a large glass of Bordeaux Binge a show Everybody’s trashing I‘ll join in on the bashing Tomorrow In the padded cell Absorbing all the rage Barely a rumble In the outside world Barely a mumble Business as usual IRL Gotta stay in line From nine to five Keep my head down Knuckle under Gotta tow the line From nine to five Go with the flow Try not to blunder Can’t wait to retire To my padded womb To suckle my thumb In the doom and gloom Can’t wait to retire To my padded room To watch a thousand Nazis bloom Can’t wait to get back To my padded cell To my posse to my pack To give em hell Can’t wait to return To my padded cell To make my massive Ego swell Let it all out Then curl up on the sofa Smoking weed or tobacco Binge a show Everybody’s watching Imagine you’re the dashing Superhero The revolution Will be funneled To my padded cell The revolution will be Sucked down the well Of my padded cell The revolution Will be virtualized In my padded cell The revolution Will be neutralized In my padded cell

Can’t Wait 03:34
Every soul has been bared Every meme has be shared Every mike has been dropped Every bee has been bopped Every door has been closed Every pose has been posed Every fight has been fought Every bit has been bought But I can’t wait to be in your arms again To stare at the ceiling Heaving and reeling But I can’t wait to be in your arms again And look into your beautiful eyes Every tale has been told Every song has been sold Every troll has been trolled Every rick has been rolled Every thought has been thought Every catch has been caught Every seed has been sowed Every blade has been mowed But I can’t wait to be in your arms again To stare at the skies Breathless and careless But I can’t wait to be in your arms again And look into your beautiful eyes You know I’m striving to live the life I wish we had To do no evil, do no harm Refusing to vie, refusing to adapt In my sheltered and secluded funny farm Every tune has been hummed Every string has been strummed Every test has been tried Every A has been I’d Every mug has been phished Every bug has been squished Every dime has been snatched Every hole has been patched Every word has been hushed Every dream has been crushed Every hope has been dashed Every mish has been mashed Every tree has been logged Every cat has been dogged Every itch has been scratched Every miss has been matched But I don’t care cause I’m in your arms again Gazing at the stars Giddy and sticky But I don’t care cause I’m in your arms again Dazzled by your beautiful eyes

About Time 03:05
Time ain’t money Money buys you time The rich outsource the drudgery And idle on by I don’t want their money I don’t want their trophy wives I want the ultimate luxury Time Time to do some digging Time to do some singing Time to spare Time to snooze Time to do some thinking Time to do some loving Time to share Time to lose Money ain’t freedom Freedom is time The wealthy buy up everything They buy up our lives I don’t want their money I don’t want their fancy wines I want to reclaim my freedom Time Time to take it easy Time to keep it breezy To unwind To take my time Time to do some napping Time to do nothing To the beat of the seasons And the sun up in the sky Time is of the essence We’re running out of time So why the rush To cross the finish line Time is of the essence So if you’re serving time It’ll be game over In the blink of an eye If money buys happiness That happiness is time The vampire wealthy Suck your happiness dry I don’t want their money I don’t want their snazzy ride I just want to be happy all the Time So save your sanity Save your mind And the planet while you’re at it Fuck the grind Smash down on the brakes Smash the watches and the clocks Seize the means of idleness / Be radically idle And bring the system to a stop / to a screeching halt

Pushing It 03:37
Grow the fuck up they say You’re such a fucking child Acting silly So undignified Grow the fuck up they say You’re such a fucking child Pushing sixty Always asking why How big is the universe How small is a quark What do spiders and squid Like to do for a lark What’s their favorite color What’s their favorite sound What do they dance to When no one’s around Stop acting silly So undignified Pushing twenty Always asking why Stop asking questions Never satisfied Pushing thirty Always asking why Why do people think With other people’s brains Why do they accept To live a life of pain Why don’t they rebel Why don’t they stick it to the man Why are they beset By such a short attention-span Why don’t they write melodies Draw pictures of their dogs Imagine endless stories Like they did when they were tots Why do they obey Such dull and boring gods Why do they fall pray To the dumbest demagogues Stop acting silly So juvenile Pushing forty Always asking why Stop asking questions Never satisfied Pushing fifty Always asking why Why aren’t we all jesters Troubadours and clowns Why the polyester Why the constant frowns Why the resignation Why the doom and gloom Why so little whimsy All you adults in the room Stop acting silly So infantile Pushing sixty Always asking why Stop asking questions Never satisfied Such a baby Yes but still alive

Unreal 03:12
What is real What is fake Does reality exist Outside my head What is true What is false If I have to choose I just go on impulse If there’s the tiniest doubt You know I’ll just shut it out I’ll just scream and shout So I can drown it out I can’t stand uncertainty I can’t stand ambiguity I want unavoidability I just want to party Possible equals probable Probable equals certain Certain is predictable Predictable is soothing What are facts What is reality Leave me alone I’ll make up my own What is rational What is magical The former the latter Why does it matter Nuzzled in my comfortable Reality bubble I feel invulnerable I feel untouchable I couldn’t care less If society crumbles If it burns to a crisp If it all turns to rubble Relevance is irrelevant Coincidence is no coincidence Pertinence is impertinent Significance is insignificant What is science What is proof Big fucking deal I know what I feel What is plausible What is credible If it sounds right to me That’s how it’s gotta be Nothing equals nothing Everything equals everything Nothing equals everything Everything equals nothing
