Surrounded by hackers and techno freaks,
he just turns his head and lives in antiques.
Cybernetic Implants and smart drugs,
he wants nothing to do with those rabid thugs.
They got them new things from 2026,
he won't deal with their state-of-art bag of tricks.
He's just a luddite in techno town,
New things give him reason to frown.
He's just a luddite in techno town,
Just wants to shut it all down.
Gets hold of a contact to fight his cause,
He dials his number without a single pause.
Says let's bring it back to the good ol' days,
Says let's send that technology all up in a blaze.
The Contact writes a virus and sends it out,
As it hits the net it begins to sprout.
He's just a luddite in techno town,
New things give him reason to frown.
He's just a luddite in techno town,
Just wants to shut it all down.
The virus begins to bring down technology,
The luddite's done this without apology.
Cybernetic Enhancements and computers crash,
Back to the stone age within a flash.
They try to get their devices working with exhaust.
The luddite smiles while the people are lost,
He's just a luddite in techno town,
New things give him reason to frown.
He's just a luddite in techno town,
Just wants to shut it all down.
He's just a luddite in techno town,
He's given them reason to frown.
He's just a luddite in techno town,
He's just shut it all down.

KVM Switch Based Love
04:12
|
|||
|
If I had a KVM Switch
I'd see what you were thinking.
Do you feel how I do?
or is it only one sided?
Maybe I could image you
and have you become
all mine.
It's just KVM Switch Based Love
nothing real
completely pseudo.
And what I need
is something real
you truly honestly loving me
the way I you.

Amechania's Reign
03:18
|
|||
|
It started in spring.
We were in a drought,
under a water
conservation law.
I saw the earth change.
The skies went yellow,
while the ground turned black.
The smell of burnt leaves
so strong and so close,
but the fire was far.
Swallowing half the
state, while we lived in
a constant fear of
evacuation.
Amechania
had us in her hand,
tightening her grip
as the fire did swell.

Oh, me name it is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep, chminey sweep
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall
And I robboed both great and small
And me neck will pay for all
When I die, when I die
And I hate you, one and all
Damn your eyes.
Oh, I killed a man, they said
So they said, so they said
Oh, I killed a man, they said
So they said
Oh, I killed a man, they said
Yes, I smashed his bleeding head
With a great big lump of lead
Damn his eyes, damn his eyes
And I left him lying dead
Damn his eyes
Oh, they put me in the quad
In the quad, in the quad
Oh, they put me in the quad
In the quad
Oh, they put me in the quad
And they tied me to a log
Behind bars and iron rod
Damn their eyes, damn their eyes
And they left me there, by God
Damn their eyes
And the parson he did come
He did come, he did come
And the parson he did come
He did come
And the parson he did come
And he looked so fucking glum
And he talked of kingdom come
Damn his eyes, damn his eyes
He can kiss my bleeding bum
Damn his eyes
Oh, the sheriff he came too
He came too, he came too
Oh, the sheriff he came too
He came too
And the sheriff he came too
With his little boys in blue
And all his bloody crew
Damn their eyes, Damn their eyes
Saying, "Samuel see you through"
Damn their eyes
I saw Molly in the crowd
In the crowd, in the crowd
I saw Molly in the crowd
In the crowd
I saw Molly in the crowd
And I hollered, right out loud:
"Now there Molly, ain't you proud?"
Damn your eyes, Damn your eyes
"Now there Molly, ain't you proud?"
Damn your eyes
Up the ladder I did grope
That's no joke, that's no joke
Up the ladder I did grope
That's no joke
Up the ladder I did grope
And the hangman pulled the rope
And ne'er a word I spoke
Tumbling down, tumbling down
And ne'er a word I spoke tumbling down
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep, chminey sweep
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall
And I robbed both great and small
And me neck will pay for all
When I die, when I die
And I hate you, one and all
Damn your eyes

Natural Habitat
04:24
|
|||
|
Highway rivers lead to the jungle
where inhabitants live in brick
and mortar trees with aerial canopies.
Habitats get built day in day out
the sound of buzz saws and hammers fill
the shrub level that reeks of auto fumes.
With or without the sun
the jungle is bathed in neon lights
of ROY G BIV.
Power failure leads to insanity
and hopeless feelings. Sleepless
dwellers wander the dark forest floor
with sights of neon tracers.
This is the human’s natural habitat.

Walk Like An Android
03:57

|
Man walks into a shop
asks the biomechanic for new legs
and while he's at it new arms
guy wants a new chassis for his soul
He's gonna
Walk like an android x3
strojni budeš
Climbs into the chair
gets anesthetized
biomechanic removes the organic
and replaces with the mechanic
In just a matter of time
the procedure's done
The man who craves to be the best
has become more machine
than he is man.
He'll
Walk like an android x3
strojni budeš
strojni budeš
