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

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?

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

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
