Blasting Off Again
03:22

Prepare for trouble
And make it double
To protect the world from devastion
To unite all people within our nation
To denounce the evils of truth and love
To extend our reach to the stars above
Pikachu, I choose you
(James)
Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light
Surrender now or prepare to fight
Meowth, that's right
Team Rocket's blasting off again
We're blasting off again
We're blasting off again
We're blasting off again

The Political Song

Shut your eyes
And your ears
See no, hear no, perpetuate the evil and we'll
Eat up the lies
Bow to the fears
Be no hero, stand full of hope today
Hope’s a sweet poison I
Suck it down
Like a
Breath
Of
Fresh
Air
On a warm summer day
While the world plays war, oh
Ain’t nothin’ quite like a dose of truth
Sober you
To how
Drunk you been, you been
Sunken in
To the lazy boy of your
Sweet religion
God’s not restricted to a crucifix
He’s the smilin' sugar rabbit on your box of Trix
He’s the modern golden calf in your sit-
uation comedies, everything you wanna be
Anything that makes a thinking man sick
Sick with joy for every girl and boy
That’s worships and avoids the void
The Noid ruins pizzas, oh
Look at all the freedom, we got all the freedom
Look at all the freedom, we got all the freedom
Look at all the freedom
"Freedom's not free"
That is how we justify the
Look at all the freedom, we got all the freedom
Look at all the freedom, we got all the freedom
Look at all the freedom
And free means happy, right?
No.
That’s all wrong
That’s why I wrote this song
That’s why I can’t move on
From the topic of the century
Everyone is meant to be
Free
But free to do what to who
And why when we were free
Were we dealing in slavery?
The contradiction’s not a work of fiction
It’s not academic it’s world-wide systemic
To this very day and I say
Nay!
I’m not Mr. Ed
I’m not pulling the sled of the system anymore
I’m not a thoughtless whore
Nor do I adore
The want of more more more
For me as I warm my feet on the heat of the fires of Darfur
The Holocaust is burning still,
Tthe fire's going to fill the frame and
We'll admire the rich and famous
The world will blame us
And we'll just say it's change
"Change"
It's "change we can believe in,"
But can we believe in change?
It's "change we can believe in,"
But can we believe in change?
It's "change we can belive in,"
But can the evil even change their ways?
It's "change we can believe in,"
But can we believe in change?
It's "change we can believe in,"
But can Weevil even chane
Into Kakuna?
And Beedrill too
Look at all the freedom, we got all the freedom
Look at all the freedom, we got all the freedom
Look at all the freedom
"Freedom's not free"
That is how we justify the
WAR
is over
(if you want it)
Look at all the freedom, we got all the freedom
Look at all the freedom, we got all the freedom
Look at all the freedom
And free means happy,
Right?

The Song of Life
07:30
|
|||
Slipping in and out of consciousness as causes fall
Into effects relishing the euphoria of
Chemical reactions, endorphines, pheromones, hormones galore
Avoiding sensations left right and dead ahead
Lub dub, lub dub
It's the song of life,
A three-tone wind chime in a chaos hurricane
Inquistion
Certainty
Recklessness
Tell warmth from heat, cool from cold, tic toc tic toc left right, left
Right sub-conscious beats come to mind and pass back to bo-
dy on the bridge from complacency to un-necessaru contemplation back and forth in silence
Lub dub, lub dub
Here we go again
Inquisition
Certainty
Recklessness
Sometimes I feel like I'm insane
Lub dub, lub dub
Sometimes I feel like we're all just a little bit deranged
Lub dub, lub dub
But maybe I'm just crazy
Maybe I'm crazy
One more time, for the sake of a well-established tradition
Inquisition
Certainty
Recklessness

Doctor please
I got a disease
Can't you set me free from it
I can pay
Whatever you need
Money ain't no think
No sense of worry to me
'Cause I climbed the ladder
Up to the top
Yeah, I paved my way
Now I ain't gonna stop
Not for the voices in my head
The ones that are screaming at me:
"Repent! Repent! Repent!"
The nurse she says
You got voices in your head
Well, I think I know the source
I can kill them
For a fee, of course
But I don't want your money
I don't need your dirty dirty gold
If you haven't figured it out yet, sonny Jim
Let me spell it out for you:
I want you mortal fucking soul
Well I'd gladly give my soul
If it kicks my nagging conscience out the door
In fact, I don't consider it a hefty toll
In fact, I think of it as
Two birds with one stone
To kill the voices in my head
The ones that are screaming at me:
"Repent! Repent! Repent!"
And the angels cry
They sing a lullaby
For the poor pencil pushers,
For the broke back-braking laborers
And the angels cry
They sing a sweet little lullaby
For the kind old lady never gets what she's do
And the angels cry
They sing a sweet little lullaby, a lullaby
For the lovers whose heaven's in each other's arms
For me and you

This Panegyric's On Me
03:09
|

I will find my way
I will see tha light
I will find my way
I will leave this deepest dark behind
I will find you
I will make you pay
I will find you
There is no escape from what is coming
Coming
Coming soon to you
I will find you
I will make you pay
I will find you
I will bring the daylight down upon
You
I will find my way
I will see tha light
I will find my way
I will leave this deepest dark behind
I will find you
I will make you pay
I will find you
And when I do, all that you can do is pray
Pray
Pray to me
For I am your new God
And I am vengeful
