Got a red letter carpet, my phone is off the hook Someone's knocking at the door better take out my little book See I lost a little money on the 3.45 Now I've got to borrow more just to pay off the last guy Loan Shark Business Park sell me more 'Cos I've got 20,000 reasons to come knocking at your door You've got my balls in a vice I can't take any more So won't you give me 7 days just to settle up another score TV celebrities endorse the Ouroboros Don't read the T's and C's, come and take your chances Consolidate your losses, the interest rate is low!

There's a guy with an emerald mine He's a crypto bro with a fake hairline He's fucked Earth, he wants Mars Better sell more electric cars 'Cos egos are fucking round in space Marketing the end of the human race Rich Man, Escape Plan Gonna jump ship when they can Space Bastard Get your fucking ass back down here Pay your taxes And we'll spend the rest on Whiskey & Beer There's a guy called Jeff Online Started with books then moved into Prime Time He wants to be Captain Kirk But he looks like Picard and he's killed all the red shirts Who needs small companies? When monopolies control the things you need. Zero contracts, no rights Saving money for the net worth high life [Chorus] Space Bastard Get back here Pay your tax We'll drink beer There's no time to lose 1 percent went and lit the fuse No more rich fucks Bite the kerb for hoarding the big bucks Too few have too much wealth That much money is bad for your health Revolution will come Blast your ass into the sun [Chorus]

Turns out, you don't, know what's going on Head up, your arse for far too fucking long So they told you how to feel Who to hate and when to kneel Liar, reptile, feathering the nest Not yours or mine, whatever suits them best Fraudster, con job, telling us what's right Don't know how you bastards sleep at night When they say they'll make it clear You know some lies are very near And I know, that's how the wheel rolls Nobody knows how the wheel rolls And I could never assemble machines of the ghosts Nobody knows how the wheel rolls And I am head over heels with the motion proposed Turns out, you do, know what's going on Head up, your arse, lets those fuckers off So they told you how to feel Who to hate and when to kneel And I know, that's how the wheel rolls Nobody knows how the wheel rolls And I could never assemble machines of the ghosts Nobody knows how the wheel rolls And I am head over heels with the motion proposed That's how the wheel rolls

In His Cups 04:01
Flat coke whiskey, it ain't so tasty I need something with a little more bite Don't need a liner, it's just a primer I won't remember at the end of the night I get my boots on, and then a move on Soon I'll be too gone one more time 3 drinks in and my smile's wearing thin A pinch of salt and a twist of lime Hey man Watch out where you're going God damn Can you even see alright? Amen Lord have fucking mercy Cos he's in his cups tonight I'm sitting thinking, while I'm drinking What is this guy's fucking problem with me? Don't want to bore ya, with paranoia Pour 3 more fingers and we'll let things be I'll smash your face up and then your place up You know just like I did before You think I'm joking, hey man what you smoking Just line 'em up and we'll say no more Hey man Can you even walk straight? God damn Think you've had enough alright? Amen Lord have fucking mercy Shit son He's in his fucking cups tonight He's in his fucking cups tonight He's in his cups tonight Yeah he's in his fucking cups tonight He's lost half his sight Can't tell left from right Cos he's in his fucking cups tonight Oh yeah Where's my damn beer, how did I get here? I got the big fear right about then My hands are shaking, ooh my body's aching You know it going to happen again and again Hey man Told you not to come here God damn Yeah you've got a nerve alright? Amen Lord have fucking mercy He's in his fucking cups tonight

Wah Boot 04:06
And I saw the man walking With his worn, weathered shoes Got no soul in his footwear Got the torn leather blues Yeah I'm slipping on my Wah Boot Got no need for no zoot suit You can tear up your fashion books All you need is your Wah Boot Saw a guy with fresh high tops Laughing at my style Doesn't like it when his nose pops He's got a black tooth smile Yeah I'm slipping on my Wah Boot Got no need for no zoot suit Got your girl's number in my book All you need is your Wah Boot You're going down on another man's woman You're going down! You're going to town on another man's woman You're a clown!

You don't know what it is to be weird You don't know what it is to be feared Well I do it's true, yeah man I'm telling you I was born with a beard And the show is about to begin Let me present to you the star, its my chin You see the folks they come from miles around To see the thing that hangs an inch off the ground You see I've worn this hairy mask my whole life Now I've even started to call it my wife This monolith around my lips has brought me pain I think the hairs are suffocating my brain You don't know what it is to be weird You don't know what it is to be feared Well I do my man, wasn't part of the plan I was born with a beard As a child the world abandoned me A bearded boy was no good to society So I found a new place to call home Amongst the freaks and the strangely grown Why don't you cut it I hear them ask It grows back twice as long and 3 times as fast Am I wolf or man or something else? Please take my beard down from the jar on your shelf You don't know what it is to be weird You don't know what it is to be feared Well I do my friend yeah I'll tell you again I was born with a beard All the other sheep have been sheared Yeah all the little lambs have been reared Well I've been on my own from a child to full grown I was born with a beard Born with a beard, yeah twice as weird As anyone in town, now hand me that crown When I was young, knew nothing but trouble Tried to cut it off but it grew back double Double Stubble Time!

Castaway 05:09
Out on the ocean, on the fishes home There is my island made of sand and stone Look on the beachhead and you see me there Building a palace, superfluous Slow, the time moves slow Left alone, alone with my hands all broken Nights fall like anvils, heavy pushing down Silence is blackened, thoughts are spilling out What are these noises, this movement? The beast it moves.. Stop by, won't you talk with me I will regale you, of my time at sea 8 fucking years now, in a dirge of lone Keep that in mind as you look at my bones Slow the time moves slow Left alone, alone with my hands all broken No, nowhere to go No human contact no words are spoken Sweet Jesus I'm out here on my own Sweet Jesus Sat up on my lonesome throne I'm screaming Am I just a stowaway I'm seething Now I'm just a castaway My tide is high (Just a castaway) I'm left to die (Just a castaway) I'm high and dry (Just a castaway) I'm left to die Still I remain here in the Kraken's home Beasts and demons I hear with every drone Isolation, it ain't a lot of fun Now I am ready, tell me when this is done Slow, still the time moves slow All alone and my mind is teeming Slow, suffering death throes Upwards I scream and I bawl and I'm screaming Sweet Jesus I'm out here on my own Sweet Jesus Sat up on my lonesome throne I'm screaming Am I just a stowaway I'm seething Now I'm just a castaway Sweet Jesus I'm out here on my own Sweet Jesus For what reason must I atone? Sweet Jesus Am I just a stowaway Sweet Jesus Now I'm just a castaway

I got baked off the dust I done smoked way too much A sweet rush, straight to my head Gonna smoke some more my friend You see the world in black and grey You think it's all just work and no play You need a cone shaped holiday Come on lets smoke our cares away Don't trim my bush Gonna grow it big and lush The big buds are all you need Let's go and plant the seed You see the world in black and grey You think it's all just work and no play You need a cone shaped holiday Come on lets smoke our cares away I'm grinding, unwinding, I'm smoking I'm a half eye wise guy I fill the bowl and take a deep breath Let your soul work out the rest Smoke filled lungs of doom Don't use the spoon! You see the world in black and grey You think it's all just work and no play You need a cone shaped holiday Come on lets smoke our cares away

If you want to go and set the world on fire Better practice or become a better liar You've got no gift and daddy's not the president You better knuckle down, just to pay the rent You're wasting your time! You see pretty faces getting so much further If looks could kill for lack of skill then there'd be murder So shift the goals and watch that burning boat set sail And just remember if you don't try, then you can't fail Yeah, don't try and you can't fail The sting is in the tail Just leave it to the pro personnel Be good, get good or give up Cos I'm better, faster, stronger I'm longer and harder than you And there's nothing you can do Be good, get good or give up Cos there's no point in trying You'll always be number 2 No matter what you do Be good, get good or give up Be good, get good or give up Cos I'm better, faster, stronger I'm longer and harder than you And there's nothing you can do Be good, get good or give up Cos there's no point in trying You'll always be number 2 No matter what you do
