Dreamy schemE loathe and longing
if the lemmings worship would you feel belonging?
Or does it matter who the lemmings be
Anyone satisfied easily
I'm not immune I dread the tragic
Freedom's not cheap
We're not paper tigers like the papers portray
We're not corporate no matter what they say
We lay quiet in our domestic state
Lure us out we shan't be late
Wish we valued "principle above privilege" - Eisenhower
Arrogance and Apathy are door men
welcoming our fall

Buddy Holly the crickets sing in the summer
"Everyday" we all get a little older
Mosquitoes come round inviting themselves to dinner
Mosquitoes come round drinking their weight of your blood
"Everyday" we all get a little older
Mosquitoes come round you never know serving what good
Getting ready for bed flossing your teeth
Spitting little red ribbons into the sink
Watching part of you disappear down the drain
We've all made decisions we wish we could change

Anthrax Black Love Song

Please don't take my girl today
I'd like to keep for myself
Never carry her away
and put her on some goddamned shelf
You wouldn't like her anyway
She never really sleeps with anybody else
Hope you never heard me say
I would live all by myself
I would miss the break of day
and her breath upon my back
When we lay in bed all day
waiting for the next attack

Ear Elephant

How'd you get to be so vulnerable
When did you first realize
The laws of physics and the math you learned
can't prepare you for the element of surprise
Ear elephant of size the element of surprise
How'd you grow to be so intolerant?
What made you move so far away?
How about the dreams you used to share
with your friends? What friends? Who are they?
Ear elephant of size the element of surprise
Wanted always a song to sing
A song with which I'd never grow bored
A song to enchant and transcend with
Music for your ear to neutralize fear
Ear elephant of size the element of surprise....
And now a reward for your suicide attack
Your remains will be sealed in pig fat (Pork Love)

Humans, ugh!
02:04
|

|
Look at all the fat kids
Can't you see them waiting in line
at the fast food drive-thru
They're so hungry biding their time
for the perfect discos
sandwiched and adorned
of slaughtered cattle
before their heads come off singing this song:
Humans ugh
Short live the humans ugh
Down with the humans ugh
The dirty cattle consumption machine
There was so much blood

Tell

One eyed Albert laugh when they
crushed his sister's bones
At first he cried and watched the cremation
then he returned to the living
Coloring the book
Stay inside the lines
Never mind do what you want
you can twist the lines to any thought
Take a step one three to creation
Monty Python know the "Meaning of Life"
but won't tell
We believe you know when you
done somebody wrong
And the bitterness you ooze
catch before long doo-doo
Think it doo C'mon doo Together doo
Now choose another....
Path
You put so many restrictions on me
How could I ever live?
I know you're righteous and you think you know it all
Everybody take a step back and breathe

Forgive I....me
03:35

I might tonight beat myself up over something that I've done
Beat myself up but I must forgive I'm me
Can't believe I did that
No no no it has been done
So many times I play it in my mind
where it went better
What are red skies to the sailors at sea?
Tornadic funnel cloud for Dorothy
An unforgiving storm up in head of me....
Must forgive I'me

Spaceship

My father's house is majestic I'm sure
built on a mountain where he feels secure
Maybe I'll visit on some holiday
After the fact isn't it always that way
And if you pass a UFO on your way up
don't be alarmed
It's just a house trying to look like a space ship

Impasse

We reached an impasse
A strange place in life
You went over the edge....
I kept coming back to see if I could see you
I'd grown so used to you
Even hearing you breathe
Didn't think I'd muss you cous
I never thought you'd leave
You left to be with other people
You left your body in the morgue
I'm not good about
I'm not good about this

Save Me
02:26

|
It moves within and It moves without
They put a name on It now I'm in doubt
The claim It talks to them I must have faith
Though It's invisible I must obey....
You come round trying to recruit again
Building your ignorant armies
You come round trying to recruit again
With your false sense of hope blues
Your quest for money dope
What do you believe in?
Let's assume Your name is God
Save me from Your followers
Let's assume Your name's Allah
Save us from Your followers

Fly Dig Thug Control
05:01

Fly get the human swatter
to take out all the thugs
Know the thugs are symptoms of
the armpit of society
The dank roach infested squalor
The parent-less kids
Abandoned like spent cigarettes
Quick burn orange cinders on the roadways at night
The thug is ugly inside
Scarred and hollow-souled
Looking for a quick fix
to get him through the cold
The cold indifferent others
The cold and hardened world
All he sees is lecherous before his eyes unfurled
He feels vindicated when he takes by force
Leaves his signature destruction
without remorse
Girl says she likes her men dangerous
Says it turns her on when they terrorize the rest of us
Buzzer goes off ends visiting time again
Look how cute!
In his orange suit

Black Love Athens, Georgia
Whirrd! Summer 2001, Georgia, USA. Rich Hudson hadn't been in a band since the demise of Atlanta's "BOB" in '99. Brian Cook left the Atlanta music scene in the mid 90s after bass-ing for Pineal Ventana, The Titanics and Accustat. Taste here the swampy electronic provocations shrouded in humorous pop unpleasantness. But, "Don't be alarmed, It's just a house trying to look like a space ship". ... more
