Digital Empire

[verse 1]
Behind the clicks behind the whirs lies another open face
Searching data and mental firsts taking confines over open space
He’s a runner but not the kind
That we all know

[verse 2]
Hooked in and online he can throughput to other lands
Travel as cheap as phone time far in foreign affairs without dirty hands
He’s a thief but not the kind
That we all know

[Chorus]
Bits and bytes builds this
Digital Empire
Worlds and space spawn this
Digital Empire
Welcome to my information age
Digital Empire

[Chorus]
Bits and bytes builds this
Digital Empire
Worlds and space spawn this
Digital Empire
Welcome to my information age
Digital Empire

[bridge]
Acts of enormity
Get swallowed in this pit
Facts of reality
Get twisted by this shit
So he keeps in check
With a flick of a switch

[Chorus]
Bits and bytes builds this
Digital Empire
Worlds and space spawn this
Digital Empire
Welcome to my information age
Digital Empire

[Chorus]
Bits and bytes builds this
Digital Empire
Worlds and space spawn this

Echo

[verse]
Dance along in the pale moonlight
Footsteps fall on a mountain path
Birds sing song quiet through the night
But filter freely on melodic paths

[verse]
A stones throw ripples upon the water
Fades from view over a great distance
Dripping eyes sounds upon sounds upon sounds
Father away than what really appears

[Chorus]
The Echo of that Echo has Echoed in my soul
from high above to far below
The Echo of that Echo has Echoed in your soul
from close by to distance unknown

[bridge]
Listen to what life
What life whispers
What it whispers
Are words of wisdom

[Chorus]
The Echo of that Echo has Echoed in my soul
from high above to far below
The Echo of that Echo has Echoed in your soul
from close by to distance unknown

[Chorus]
The Echo of that Echo has Echoed in my soul
from high above to far below
The Echo of that Echo has Echoed in your soul
from close by to distance unknown

[bridge]
Listen to what life
What life whispers
What is whispers
Are words of wisdom
I said listen
To what whispers
What it whispers
Are words of wisdom

[Chorus]
The Echo of that Echo has Echoed in my soul
from high above to far below
The Echo of that Echo has Echoed in your soul
from close by to distance unknown
The Echo of that Echo has in our soul
in our soul

Time Machine

[verse]
I’ve always admired Sheakspeare for his use of irony
I want to spit in the faces of these actors prancing pompously
You’d think they’d learn how to play the part
But they just sell out now

[verse]
I’ve heard about a land where creatures used to run and roam free
I can see it in these faces skeletons displayed so nakedly
You’d think they’d learn how to play the game
But they just fell down now

[Chorus]
I want to journey in a Time Machine
To see what it might have been
I want to journey in a Time Machine
To a time when I’ve never been

[Chorus]
I want to journey in a Time Machine
To see what it might have been
I want to journey in a Time Machine
To a time when I’ve never been

[bridge]
I’d like to see us in the future
Will we proceed peacefully
I’d like to spit in the eye of violence
You’d think they’d learn
But they shoot it down now

[Chorus]
I want to journey in a Time Machine
To see what it might have been
I want to journey in a Time Machine
To a time when I’ve never been

[Chorus]
I want to journey in a Time Machine
To see what it might have been
I want to journey in a Time Machine
To a time when I’ve never been

[Chorus]
I want to journey in a Time Machine
To see what it might have been
I want to journey in a Time Machine
To a time when I’ve never been

Vision

[verse]
Once there was the water
Once there was the land
God filled it with emotion
And gave it everything he had

[verse]
Along came a creature
Which is known as man
He wanted more stimulation
And T.V. was his dream to have

[Chorus]
Let me have your brain station
Vision
A whole lotta television
Vision
A whole lotta cable-vision

[verse]
Now man’s in a tight bind
So much to sponge the mind
More fascinating everyday
While programming has nothing to say

[Chorus]
Let me have your brain station
Vision
A whole lotta television
Vision
A whole lotta cable-vision
Vision
Let me thieve your main ration
Vision
A whole lotta cable-vision

[bridge]
Wrapped up in plastic
Fleshed with a picture tube
I give you

[Chorus]
Vision Vision
Vision Vision
Let me have your brain station
Vision

Let me thieve your main ration

Vision
A whole lotta television
Vision
A whole lotta cable-vision
Vision
I give you
Vision
A whole lotta television
I give you I give you I give you I give you
Vision Vision
I give you I give you I give you I give you

Death’s the Rage

[verse]
You talk I speak
We all assert
Yet no alliance can be made
You cry I weep
We do discharge
Yet no sympathy is in trade

[Chorus]
It’s on the television and the paper’s page
Check it out
Death’s all the Rage

[verse]
So was seen in this state
A crime committed hate on hate
By having been a talking fry
In a public forum and the public’s eye

[Chorus]
It’s on the television and the paper’s page
Check it out
Death’s all the Rage
Gracing compact discs and the radio waves
Discover this
Death’s all the Rage

[bridge]
Five factions rule from a special place
Though two divisions bowed from the race
Self inflicted anger gets a self inflicted case

[Chorus]
It’s on the television and the paper’s page
Check it out
Death’s all the Rage
Gracing compact discs and the radio waves
Discover this
Death’s all the Rage

[verse]
You forget I neglect
We’re oblivious
Yet safety’s what we expected anger get
You forget I neglect
We’re oblivious
Yet safety’s what we expect

[Chorus]
It’s on the television and the paper’s page
Check it out
Death’s all the Rage
It’s on the television and the paper’s page
Check it out
Death’s all the Rage
Gracing compact discs and the radio waves
Discover this
Death’s all the Rage

Tortured Solitaire

[verse]
Though I’ve yet to be bothered
By your occupation
I’ve seen the damage you do
For the mighty buck
All without remorse to
Actions of obscene abuse

[verse]
Who draws the line you leap over
Time after time
When will it be enough toward
The prey you seek
At the death you stand waiting
For a picture you can keep

[Chorus]
I’d like to turn the tables ‘round
Hunt and prey on you like a hound
Play your fears and capture tears
Engrave the peers and Torture Solitaire

[Chorus]
I’d like to turn the tables ‘round
Hunt and prey on you like a hound
Play your fears and capture tears
Engrave the peers and Torture Solitaire
I’d like to turn the tables ‘round
Hunt and prey on you like a hound
Play your fears and capture tears
Engrave the peers and Torture Solitaire

[bridge]
Mastermind the better game
Make the lie veritable
Even beg borrow or steal
And give it to the sane

[Chorus]
I’d like to turn the tables ‘round
Hunt and prey on you like a hound
Play your fears and capture tears
Engrave the peers and Torture Solitaire
I’d like to turn the tables ‘round
Hunt and prey on you like a hound
Play your fears and capture tears
Engrave the peers and Torture Solitaire
I’d like to turn the tables ‘round
Hunt and prey on you like a hound
Play your fears and capture tears
Engrave the peers and Torture Solitaire
I’d like to turn the tables ‘round
Hunt and prey on you like a hound
Play your fears and capture tears
Engrave the peers and Torture Solitaire
I’d like to turn the tables ‘round
Hunt and prey on you like a hound
Play your fears and capture tears
Engrave the peers and Torture Solitaire
I’d like to turn the tables ‘round
Hunt and prey on you like a hound
Play your fears and capture tears
Engrave the peers and Torture Solitaire

Power Personality

[verse 1]
You’ve broken me and torn me down
You burn me up and ash me to the ground
Everything you are is creeping into me
Everything you are is all I ever see

You treat my head with your soul
You’re sweet with my hands and all my toes
Nothing ever eases my mind to blue
Nothing ever chases my mind from you

Fucked Up Trance

[verse]
So you’ve been beat down and it’s coming around
You’re a fun gal
Well I’m springing back from a low lying time
And I’m a fun pal

[Chorus]
So the night was calling
And my music had you falling
Into an attractive stance
Come on baby she said
In a funky dance
So long honey I said
In a Fucked up Trance

[verse]
Do you see the far and away as it’s here to stay
Like an open book
Kindly I’d like to resign from being the nice guy
Graduation line

[Chorus]
So the night was calling
And my music had you falling
Into an attractive stance
Come on baby she said
In a funky dance
So long honey I said
In a Fucked up Trance

[Chorus]
So the night was calling
And my music had you falling
Into an attractive stance
Come on baby she said
In a funky dance
So long honey I said

So long honey I said
In a Fucked up Trance

So you been beat down
And it’s coming around
Your a fun gal
Well I’ve sprung

From a low lying time how

And my music had you falling
Into an attractive stance
Come on baby she said
In a funky dance
So long honey I said
In a Fucked up Trance
Come on baby she said
In a funky dance
So long honey I said
In a Fucked up Trance

Talking is King

[verse]
Ladies and gentlemen today we have a treat
Monique is in a unique situation
A six tiered love star just have a seat
Mother to three kids of three men
And the object of two women’s desires

[pre Chorus]
Bipolar sexuality that I can live through vicariously
It’s something so sensual I wish commercials were less punctual

[Chorus]
Talk Shows they show us all
Talk Shows Talking is King
Talk Shows they spew it all
Talk Shows Talking is King

[verse]
So you’ve married John and Rafael but where’s Roger
And how do Vaunia an’ Bridgette fall in this web of passion
Do you consider yourself a polygamist
What haven’t your children missed

[pre Chorus]
It’s a wonder what a little money can bring
American trash ready to bash on this television thing

[Chorus]
Talk Shows culture will fall
Talk Shows Talking is King
Talk Shows they’ll kill us all
Talk Shows Talking is King

[bridge]
Well Monique our experts have given you advice
Our audience bellowed their opinions of ice
So it comes to the program point what you’re last vice
Oh so sorry but we’re out of time tonight

[Chorus]
Talk Shows culture will fall
Talk Shows Talking is King
Talk Shows they’ll kill us all
Talk Shows Talking is King

[Chorus]
Talk Shows culture will fall
Talk Shows Talking is King
Talk Shows they’ll kill us all
Talk Shows Talking is King
