The Screw
03:52

If we kill ourselves for
Homeland gas, would it be worth it?
They bribe the top
To hush it up
To blind their eyes
So they walk away unscathed
Does that sound worth it?
They put on an act
Because they're exempt from the act
That keeps us clean
They have the drills
We're the screw
Your water is on fire
My rage is on fire
So thanks for the asthma
The tumors, the pain
Oh it's safe, or so they say
Then why is Pennsylvania dying
If it's so safe, then in court why do they pay?
They bribe the top
To hush it up
To blind their eyes
So they walk away unscathed
So drill, and drill, and die, and drill, and die, and die

Hollow

Hollow, stuck in one place
Paying for decay at minimum wage
Creative minds wasted
At gas stations, restaurants, and clothing stores
Please, someday someone call me a genius
A visionary
Keep those sights set on the West Coast
Someday, maybe today
Hey, quit your job and get down
Let's all drop out and commit
Want tears in your eyes
Want love on location
Before I die, create something beautiful
Want tears in your eyes
Want love on location
Sun-soaked landscapes in 35mm
Portray love in a quarry
Or death in a field
Ease someone's mortal fears
Everyone thinks they have a masterpiece in them
Or I'm an egomaniac
I feel special
I feel special, ego drives
Love

Digital Arms
03:29
|

Live life on a device
Consciousness on a drive
All seeing, all knowing, all living
Immortality in technology
Met a girl on the cloud, she's all that I need
Get to know you, get to love you,
But how to touch you with these...
How to touch you with digital arms?
Spend my credits on a body
Place my mind inside an artificial man
Place my feet on the earth again
The android wakes, the android walks
The android lives
The mind, it offers time
But flesh, it offers soul
But never forever
The mind is bound to pine
The body fulfills
But this will rot away
In metal deathbeds, in our metal selves
We prepare to stare from afar
We prepare to stay apart
It's fun when we're on
It's done when we're gone

My friend, he fought for his life
And now he's tired
My lover fell for a joke
And now we're through
My brother had his first fuck
And now he's smitten
My fucking peace of mind
Now it's left behind
So what do we do?
Buy a new shirt, say "this life thing is working out"

Three Weeks
05:14

|

Hey, can we not touch and fuck today?
Because I feel filthy
Come on and say, "You're tired, I'm insane"
We all know art is hard
The death of art and soul are intertwined
The death of art and soul is me
You slept with me, you missed my dreams
My dreams of physical death
I know my own death
It's one of many
They tracked the angles and pointed it to us
I waited three weeks
I thought the old man told it directly to me
I didn't know the calendar could hang itself
Believe
Oh, it's dark, I can't see the devil come
Fate can't change
Please, take the art and leave the soul
I'm just a man resigned to
The hate I feel for everything I do
I feel my heart break for us when I...

Personal Yeezus
02:09
|
|
||
Paralyzed, closed eyes
Denied, in time I find
Isolate, contained
I've got to escape this coast
I've got a life that I'm lusting after
Unravel, black hole
I've got to escape this coast
I've got a life that I'm lusting after

The Taste of Punk to Cum
03:59
|
|
||
Hey hey, it's hand over fist
Executive privilege topples the rest
Fighting for scraps at the table we set
As the fruits of your labor run down my chin
Working for free for paper degrees
That we'll never see, forced inequality
Unionized lies, the face of deceit
I paid my dues, now where's my seat?
I feel like I've paid for all this before
You can't protect if you don't know it's yours
Crowdfunding bailouts across backs
Starving artists cutting in line
My wallet's got deja vu
Who's buying, me or you?
You started it, we funded it
The taste of punk to cum

Firebrand Sex
03:16
|
|
||
We live our lives without reason
We're bored and tired, but I'll try it out
We plugged a hole in a sinking ship
But I'm trying
Out back, still smoke, forms
Our bodies tangled in regret
"Don't thank me," you say in contempt
Our lust came and went
Firebrand sex, fuck
Every public follicle
A gate pushing away
For the love of... Oh god, I can't
Bad love from a lover spurned
Bad love from the hangers-on in turn
Bad love from a libertine and turncoat
Bad love from a lover spurned

(Lie)
Why get an education
(Cheat)
When you can be a star?
(Steal)
Sorry I don't have the rent
(Bask)
I'll pay you back when I'm filthy fucking rich
Breathe for fame
Connect with wealth to hide the fury
That it's a false reality

Johnny's Not Okay
06:09
|
|

Boy, we need food
Take the Winchester and the mutt
But the plains, they don't forgive
So be careful and good luck
Kid, you've been gone for so long
Yeah, well I don't quite feel the same
Well, what happened on those sun-soaked days?
I don't really think I should say
Hey, where's the mutt?
He ain't coming back
Johnny's not okay
Tell the truth, what happened?
Okay, I shot him
So he got sick, why not tell me?
No dad, I shot him, no reason
Johnny's not okay
What have me done?
Johnny's not okay
Who have we raised?
He can join the army
Join the war out West, yeah
Kid, you've killed a hundred men
To protect and defend this land that we call home
Kid, I've never seen another one like you
You'll be general one day
Then all this will be yours
