Murdering The Murderer Sickened, Saddened, Horrified, The Gaudy Spectacle The careful preparations Meticulous Detail Exalted Tributes Buzzing Reporters Sell the Grief Sell it - Sell it Message - Message Demonstrators clown for cameras Is he dead? Is he dead, yet? Isn't he dead, yet? Die Timmy, Die Cry Timmy, Cry Murder is Wrong The murderer must pay Kill the murderer Murder the murderer It's the right thing to do It's the right of the victim Remember the children? Remember the dead? The dead will rest better now The living will rest With a Murder On their Souls Die Timmy, Die The World watches in Shame As the barbarians Direct the show At 9:02 He made his statement "We will observe 168 moments of silence As we administer death," the face of TV said Ladies and Gentlemen Children of all ages The Department of Justice proudly presents The Greatest Show On Earth! "Revenge," the madman cried Is it cruel and unusual? Punishment? Is there anything more hateful? Or cruel? Than taking away a persons life? Is the States' Ritualistic Heinous Murder of a Man A Usual Occurrence? It will be! IT WILL BE! IT WILL BE!

Red Core 07:57

Red Core, The Difference "Do see this fine thing? Do you admire the humanity of it? Because the Human Beings, my son, they believe everything is alive. Not only man and animals, but also water, earth, stone. And also the things from them, like that hair. The man from this hair came he is bald on the other side. Because I now own his scalp. That is the way things are! But the white man they believe everything is dead. Stone, earth, animals and people. Even their own people. If things keep try to live white man will rub them out. That is the difference." Those are the words and voice of Chief Dan George spoken from his heart, his soul, his Red Core He spoke those words in the movie Little Big Man. He was also speaking from a time. A time near the end of the only life The Human Beings had known. A tradition of living, As one with all of nature Was about to be rubbed out. The Human Beings could not remember a time When life had been different. But this was a new time. A new enemy. An enemy possessed of unprecidented weaponry. An enemy whose numbers counted greater than the blades of grass on the Dakota plains. An enemy whose ruthlessness had never before been witnessed. An enemy that held in contempt the inherent spirit of the Human Beings; that one must live as one with nature, with humble respect to all. Even enemies. An enemy who considered the Human Beings as savages. An enemy who didn't know where the center of the universe was. An enemy that didn't even respect himself Or anything at all. But you see, Chief Dan George is holding a scalp of hair. He is showing it to Little Big Man He is laughing because the wasichu had lost the battle and his scalp... This man who never knew where the center of the universe was. Who killed Not only for food Not just to feed his own. This man killed to quench a crazy appetite for death. This man who treated everything with smug contempt. This man was bald on the other side. And don't you know how foolish he must look? And don't you know How much more foolish He looked when he was still on this side? THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE! The Red Core

The Airport Lounge 08:10

The Airport Lounge Typical crowd in the airport lounge, A wide variety of folks Many with small phones Growing out of their hands Only the waiter seems interested In the baseball game Snailing across the TV. Two young chaps swap tales of The Road. A chubby, tow-headed buck Is conducting intense Business dealings on his Cellular appendage. He's chain-calling Like a smoker lighting one butt Off from another As he terminates one call He frantically speed-dials another. A late-40's couple pulls up To a near table They must not be very successful They only have beepers How 80's? I momentarily feel superior because I have a cell phone And I'm cool enough To leave the phone in my truck I quickly regain humbly When I recall that I live In Goober County, Florida And I drive a pickup truck A Ford truck. I remembered that I had nearly Had sex with several cousins When I was an early teen. And.... Shit. Ooo - Nice looking passenger enters airside Ok, so I'm back. Tight young thing with a plaid cap at the bar Stands She could be a tennis player If she didn't drink & smoke The beeper guy is back talkin' 'bout his aging momma and her innards. It's pretty obvious that her main joy is that she has lived a long life and now she gets to die Her problem is that she has doctors who insist that she live longer than Intended no matter how miserable That existence may be. Witness the pinnacle of Arrogance - The Western Physician Slash God. Ash's plane is delayed (Cool) The red wine tastes fine Always been a friend of mine. Plaid-hat girl is back Her flight has been delayed too Hurricane season in Tampa Staccato Cuban spoken behind me What a rich world it is "Beeperman" just asked a deep philosophic real estate question "Would you rather be the first person in Florida Or the number Two in the Southeast?" How do they sleep at night with such weighty issues hanging... With that it's flight time And they have to leave. Seems They weren't a couple after all Too bad they had to leave Another drink and he'd be Nailing her a mile high She was showing all the signs She was diggin' his stuff He'll nail her soon Life on the road. Fucking Baseball game is still Snailin' Plaid hat girl has huge eyes Dark eyes. She turned and for a Moment stared directly into My Gray hair. Oh, she just turned Again & smiled She Caught my Appreciation. But she's got a daddy with a Cellular appendage Damn I shoulda brought my Cellular appendage down with me. Does anyone on the planet give two shits about this Baseball game. Oh-Oh better be quiet They might change it to Golf - Fucking Golf Checked on Ash's flight Another 5 minutes -- 8:25 After thinking about golf I had to see & hold my dick don't ask why End of the 3rd They've been playing this fucking baseball game since Dawn and it's the end of the 3rd Fucking Inning. Whooopeeee Out with the old plaid-hat girl In with a new trio Oh, my A tall blonde, Thin, Pretty, Pert. A short, Brunette With a beautiful smile and Oh so tightly packed And then There's Ms. Bombastic Kinky brunette hair, olive tan skin, Proud orbital breasts fucking Meow. It. The Idiot-Comedy called Baseball continues to broadcast they just spent 15 seconds Showing a Player chewing his fingernails and spitting them out. Now, if I'm receiving this Transmission from another planet I've got to scratch Earth From my list of fun Vacation spots in the Galaxy. I should have brought my Fucking camera. Jesus Christ. The Structure, Celesestine, the Vulgarian, the man Who tried to shock the world To his point of View. This must be Ash's flight If he hurries he can hit last call Life On The Road

Train 02:38

Train I hear the distant, mournful Wail of a train. Sounding a warning Announcing its passing It is a most beautiful sound The patter of Tropical rain landing on an aluminum roof. Go train, go. Go rain, go. Entertain me for a while. Crash, Kawomp Thunder heralds the approach Of magical lightening Wind pushes the branches Of resilient trees Palms and Oaks and Pines Each bending and swaying To their own truth And then Calm Briefly A pause between The Overture And the Symphony The noise of a jet is heard Sneaking to find his seat Before the curtain is raised If only there were no cars The noisy bastards Massive clouds swirl In a counterclockwise motion It is hurricane season The best time of year To live in the Tropics

Underwater 01:36

Underwater A life underwater Immersed in the womb Of the Earth. Floating effortlessly with the current Following Natures circle of death And life and death and birth And death and rebirth. Thrust along by liquid life Soaring over mountains and valleys Bobbing and weaving Laughing with the grinning shark. Mocking the barracuda. Fear unknown. Anxiety unimagined I am one I am the shark I am the barracuda I am the water.

Death of the Nations 11:25
lyrics
buy track
Death of the Nations The death of the nations Came finally After a long and arduous journey Many lives were wasted Along the way Many souls were incinerated In defense of flags In defense of an ideal That was not worthy Of a second of consideration In support of altruistic self-sacrifice A pitiable squandering of spirit and soul The death didn't come easy The Nations would not die easily For without the Nations The Leaders Would have nothing to lead Nothing to lead! Nobody to subjugate! Power Would slip from their hands And the Leaders would find death As their only recourse The Leaders Who steered the ark of mankind On a devastating path Away from true spirituality Away from self-actualisation Away from self-awareness Away from self-realisation Disconnecting all From the Oceans From the Mountains From the Forests From the Sky From the Stars From the Moon From the Earth From the Galaxy And the Universe In pursuit of Things The Leaders had said, "Things will make you happy You must have things to be happy You can have enough things to be happy Happiness? Denied! You don't have all of the things Thus, happiness cannot be yours Happiness can never be yours But you must try You must achieve You must sacrifice yourself For the Things Of all Particularly, Things for the Leaders The wise and knowledgeable Leaders. For without the Leaders You are nothing. You cannot survive. You cannot make it on your own. You are too frail and feeble a creature To make it on your own You need the Leaders You need the Nation Bow down to the Leaders The Leaders are great The Leaders are your only chance For survival Pledge allegiance To the Nations And the Leaders Will allow you to survive The Leaders Will allow you to breathe The Leaders Will give you Things Great Things Things that will make you happy Briefly The Leaders require that Many of you must make The ultimate sacrifice You must lay down your life To promote the Nations To promote the Leaders Even though The Leaders are Wise And Knowledgeable, The Leaders can find No peaceful resolution To the conflict Over the Things Things that will make you happy Things that you must want Things that you must crave Things that you must possess To be happy, Briefly It is the Price The Price of Things Die So that the Leaders may have Things So that the Leaders may have Power You cannot survive without the Leaders Or the Things Look not inside yourself It's too scary in there It's scary inside of you You musn't go there Open not The Doors to your soul Seek not The Light within The Light is Evil The Light knows not Of Things The Light cares not For Things The Light is Evil" The Leaders feared the Light Lightness could eliminate Dependence on the Leaders Dependence on the Nations Lightness would illuminate The Spirit within Lightness was Evil The Death of the Nations Began innocently enough With the burst of technology In the waning days of the Century At first, the Leaders loved the new technology Many new Things were generated by the new technology Though they were Wise and knowledgeable The Leaders failed to perceive The danger to Nations and Power That the new technology brought They failed to recognise The dangers of allowing The drones of the Nations To communicate across the boundaries of Nations Soon the drones realised That the drones of other Nations Were much like themselves That they were not evil empires But simply lost souls Blindly following the Leaders As lemmings Toward the chasm Drones began to question the validity Of the teachings of the Leaders Of the quest for Things At the sacrifice of their souls And their lives Music began to take over as the universal language That bound all drones To their creator To the Lightness within themselves Too late, Too late The Leaders realised the threat To their Power To the ideals that provided the Power To the Things By that time The war was over The Leaders had lost The drones had already found The Lightness within The drones discovered That within them God existed That they were the God Of their own universe That as God They had the Power To survive without the Things Without the Leaders Without the Nations And then, The drones systematically Disassembled Disemboweled The Nations The drones became One One within themselves One with the Oceans One with the Mountains One with the Forests One with the Sky One with the Stars One with the Moon One with the Earth One with the Galaxy One with the Universe. That is when the Leaders died And all mankind Celebrated the orgy that was The Death of the Nations.

Opening Acts 02:41
lyrics
buy track
Opening Acts Being the opening act is tough. The people didn't come to see you. They are impatient to see the main act. The soundman is not going to let you sound better than the main act (referred to as a dirty mix in the biz, though all involved will deny that it happens). And if you do outshine the opening act you will be removed from the tour. Unless, the main acts manager is about to dump the main act and begin managing you. It is the naked truth of concert touring. Example: In 1971 I was the keyboard player for Yesterday's Children, a 9-piece horn band ala Blood, Sweat, and Tears. We were playing Iowa City stadium before about 20,000+ fans of Rare Earth. The crowd loved us. We did a few Tower of Power tunes and the crowd was ours. They were pumped. They were excited to see Rare Earth. And then our lead singer launched us into one of our stock covers Get Ready, which was originally recorded by the Temptations. It didn't occur to our singer at that moment that Rare Earth had also released the song and it was one of their big hits. Can you imagine how hot the RE folks got when we played their tune? We were immediately and unceremoniously dropped from the tour. The fact of the matter was our take on the song blew Rare Earth's version away, which was truly the wrong approach. We shouldn't have played the song, but then I wouldn't have this story.
