1. _ The Dodo
I see a white haired man, he's got a suit on hand
He's telling people how they're supposed to live
Nobody's listening to the politician
No matter what sage advice he has to give
He's got a clumsy, outdated m.o.
And he's come to a fork in the road
And there is only one direction to go
Among the commuters, dwarfed by the skyscrapers
I watch the countless millions fighting for space
See hateful, petty acts, disjointed images,
And can't believe that i'm one of the same race
We're all just struggling to cope
And we come to a fork in the road
As we watch our foundations erode
There's only one direction to go
It's the way of the dodo
Such a noble destiny
It's the waltz of desperation
Passed along to you and me
The way of the dodo
(it's the gray stuff in your head)
(it's the pulse of the living and the voices of the dead)

2. _ Kyoto Now!
kyoto now!
It's a matter of prescience -no, not the science fiction kind
It's all about ignorance, and greed, and miracles for the blind
The media parading, disjointed politics
Founded on petrochemical plunder, and we're its hostages
If you stand to reason you're in the game
The rules might be elusive but our pieces are the same
And you know if one goes down we all go down as well
The balance is precarious as anyone can tell
This world's going to hell
Don't allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price
Kyoto now!
We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right
You might not think it matters now but what if you are wrong
You might not think there's any wisdom in a fucked up punk rock song
But the way it is cannot persist for long
A brutal sun is rising on our sick horizon
It's in the way we live our lives
Exactly like the double edge of a cold familiar knife
And supremacy weighs heavy on the day
It's never really what you own but what you threw away
And how much did you pay?
Don't allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price
Kyoto now!
We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right
In your dreams you saw a steady state a bounty for eternity
Silent screams
But now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat
Watch out!
Don't allow this mythologic hopeful monster isn't worth the risk
Kyoto now!
We can't have vision for the future if it can't be fixed
Alien
We need a fresh and new religion to run our lives
Hand in hand
The arid torpor of inaction will be our demise
Oh, kyoto now!

3. _ Leaders And Followers
there's the image of a man
Who commands a high opinion
But he hides his hatred with a sheepish grin
And beside him flanking closely
Are the boisterous hollow masses
Who lap up whatever trickles in
This intercourse of nature,
This vulgar social pastime
Reflects the lowest mark of our progress
And the few who ride peripheral
Maintain subtle advantage
Fighting hard to abstain and redress
Do you know your place
In the big charade?
Are you more than they?
Leaders and followers
Leaders and followers
Recognition by proximity
And a brand new face
Just a smidgen of success pie
And a pinch of social grace
You can play with the big boys
Or you can tell them what to do
But sooner or later there's another one like you
The voyeuristic public
Of which we're all a part
Maintains perspective on the human play
And while many have desires
Of joining in the show
Many turn and go the other way
Tell me do you know your place
In the big parade?
Are you fear and shame?

4. _ Broken
she said thanks but i'm broken
I guess you must have misspoken
What a laugh, i've never been chosen by anyone
She was barely a teen hangin' out in-between, just a part of the scene
With mercurial smile and incurable style, she was only a dream
How's that, he didn't know a thing about making love
To the kind of girl you read about
He said i'm bound to be broken
My daddy bet that i'd amount to nothing
He won't let anybody show him anything
He was a troubled child, had been down for a while, always kept to himself
Though she couldn't defend, he only wanted a friend, now he's made something
Else
It's so sad, no one saw it coming, the paper said that he hit the ground
Running
Oh yeah, i know i'm not broken
A little cracked but still i'm not broken
I wanna laugh but i think that i'm choking on reality
When the world is turning for you don't turn on me
Who are you here to repair? well, i don't know what you mean
You could never resist glorifying despair
Now it's coming to you and i don't really care
While i'm not the kind to insist, you couldn't have missed, we must co-exist
So please listen to me, there is no such thing as human debris
Oh yeah, i know i'm not broken
A little cracked but that amounts to nothing
I wanna laugh, i'm not choking
I'm unbroken (oh yeah i said i'm not broken)
I said i'm unbroken (a little cracked, it's just a token)
I'm really not broken (what a guess, i'm unbroken) (?)

5. _ Tested
bad religion - tested
Yeah they say there's a place free of trouble and care,
And you have to pass a test for, to make it there.
It has something to do with a road that's straight and narrow,
And the only way to go it is by being like them...
There's always one more hill to climb,
There's always one more hill to climb!
Bombarded by multiple choices twenty-four-seven,
Navigate your tangled web of logic compassion,
Guided by subconcious voices astute and sharpened,
Tested,
Tested, oh oh oh.
Options, well maybe one, what we're supposed to do.
Stand and deliver, or see the conflict through.
And as we long and proceed to build our castles in the sky,
Our plans bent invalid, and determination dies.
There's no preperation and no guide!
Just what you've done before here with your life...
Bombarded by multiple choices twenty-four-seven,
Navigate your tangled web of logic compassion,
Guided by subconcious voices astute and sharpened,
Tested,
Tested, oh oh oh.
Acting on will,
The test is a reaction.
Opening your heart,
The test is the emotion.
Rolling the dice,
The test is the agility.
Burning out your mind,
The test is the recovery...
One two.
You can play by the rules, or bend them to your needs.
But the test isn't over till you reach your dark eternal sleep.
There are no absolutes, no big wheels in the sky...
You don't have to be first, just to get a sundown goodbye.
Yeah,
Bombarded by multiple choices twenty-four-seven,
Navigate your tangled web of logic compassion,
Guided by subconcious voices astute and sharpened,
Tested,
Tested, oh oh oh.
Tested.

6. _ Prove It
hit the road in wander mode, inquire along the way
Savoir faire in full despair while living day-to-day
My heart is not a cold cauldron of proof
I don't ever need to prove myself to you
Looking back i'm off the tracks more times than i recognize
Mistakes are another opportunity to refine
My heart is not a cold cauldron of proof
I don't ever need to prove myself to you
There's no such thing as hell
But you can make it if you try
There might come a day
When emotion can be quantified
But as of now there's no proof necessary
No proof necessary
No proof necessary
There's no proof necessary
It's only in your mind (mind, mind, your mind)

7. _ The Fast Life
The silent stray inertia
No burden on my back
No determinance, no ballast
No chance of looking back
It doesn't matter what's ahead
It's time i'll hit it hard
No fixing my position
No sign of retard
It's the fast life
There's nothing i can do
The fast life
Suck it in and follow through
The fast life
Just learning as i go
You might call it careless
But this fast life
Is all i've ever known
Like a wispy feather
Defying gravity
Or a rolling cobble
In the middle of the stream
Propelled by a ghost force
That never shows his face
Increase the ante
Of this perpetual pace
It's the fast life
There's nothing i can do
The fast life
Suck it in and follow through
The fast life
Just learning as i go
You might call it careless
But this fast life
Is all i've ever known
Ever since the day
I came out of the womb
My head was always bouncing
Off the walls in the room
Always scratching gravel
Covering new ground
No matter how hard they tried
They couldn't pin me down
It's just the fast life
There's nothing i can do
The fast life
Suck it in and follow through
The fast life
Just learning as i go
You might call it careless
But this fast life
Is all i've ever known
Yeah it's all i've ever known

9. _ Sorrow
father, can you hear me?
How have i let you down?
I curse the day that i was born,
And all the sorrow in the world...
Let me take you to the herding ground,
Where all good men are trampled down,
Just to settle a bet that could not be won,
Between a prideful father and his son.
Well you guard me now for i can't see,
A reason for this suffering and this long misery.
What if every living soul could be upright and strong?
Well, then i do imagine there will be
Sorrow.
Yeah there will be
Sorrow .
And there will be
Sorrow, no more.
When all soldiers lay their weapons down,
Or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crown,
Or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves...
It's easy to imagine there will be
Sorrow.
Yeah there will be
Sorrow .
And there will be
Sorrow, no more.
There will be
Sorrow.
Yeah there will be
Sorrow .
And there will be
Sorrow, no more.

10. _ Can't Stop It
i'm incurable but durable, it's easy to see
Lack of restraint is a complaint of those around me
I know that others postpone
Gratification, well i lack that affectation
Let's get it right (let's get it right)
There's no end in sight
And i can't stop
Can't stop, can't stop it
Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop, can't stop it
It's shocking, but i just can't stop it!
Uncontrollable, i'm inconsolable
My pleasure center is the shelter for a reptile
I hate when i gotta tolerate
Frustration, see i lack the motivation
Let's set this straight (let's set this straight)
I never wait, and i can't stop
Can't stop, can't stop it
Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop, can't stop it
It's shocking, but i just can't stop it!

11. _ Materialist
you're obsessed and distressed |
12. _ Pretenders
I give to you, you take from me
We live in perfect harmony
But i know you can't give me what i need
Wwith subtle care and rosey hues
We duke it out, we change our views
We hold so dear our unanimity
Oh...
We are just pretenders
We are just pretenders, lost in this charade
We are just pretenders, characters on stage
We are just pretenders, trying to break free
We are just pretenders, hiding so no one sees
We try to find our peace of mind
Just a vestige we left behind
But ignorance takes far less energy
And if you please, i'll look to you
Because i need somebody who
Forgives me for my harsh reality
Oh...but
We are just pretenders
We are just pretenders, we're trying to break free
We are just pretenders, we'll lose them easily
We are just pretenders, trying to break free
We are just pretenders, hiding so no one sees
You standing there
Playing with your hair
Trying to ignore
But peeking in the mirror
Re-living the scenes
From books and magazines
Craving the life
You live in your dreams
And i'm standing here
Thinking that it's queer
But fearing that i am the same
You ask me how i feel
It's so damn surreal
I think it's finally time we ended this game
'cause we are just pretenders
We are just pretenders, lost in this charade
We are just pretenders...

13. _ Supersonic
supersonic
Well, i am not making haste or could it be haste is making me
What's time but a thing to kill or keep or buy or lose or live in
I gotta go faster
Keep up the pace
Just to stay in the human race
I could go supersonic, the problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it?
When i need to sate, i just accelerate
Into oblivion
Into oblivion yah yah yah yah yah ya-ahn
Well here i go again, everything is alien
How does it feel to be outstripped by the pace of cultural change?
My deeds are senseless and rendered meaningless
When measured in that vein
I could go supersonic, the problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it?
When i need to sate, i just accelerate into oblivion
I won't lie, it's exciting
When i try to decide things
I just want to live decently, meaningfully
I'm in misery
(pace setters, go getters)
(rat racers, forget hers)
(researchers, berserkers)
(strategies to help the workers)
(new time saving devices)
(quick vices, short splices)
(brevity, dependency)
(digital efficiency)
I could go supersonic, the problem's chronic
Tell me, does life exist beyond it?
When i need to sate, i just accelerate into oblivion
Into oblivion yah yah yah yah yah ya-ahn

14. _ Lose As Directed
Little girl's eyes open wide
Two ways to go but you can't decide
Follows all rules, has no say
Ends up in somebody else's play
Close your eyes cause you just don't need them anyway
Lose as directed, don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Little boy sitting in his master's arms
Safe and protected from any harm
Wants to be a man, wants to branch out
But he's told not to ask questions or doubt
Close your mind, it's a book of instructions now
Lose as directed don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Lose as directed
Let's go!
Monkey see, monkey do
Just another animal in the zoo
Got four wall security
Never even have to read a recipe
But it's not exactly what you would call free
Lose as directed, don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Lose as directed
You lose!

15. _ Markovian Process
You will all say that i am surely crazy
Only an unrepentant pessimist whose thoughts should be detained
But facts are sterile, not vulgar nor sublime
And they're not religion, they're for everyone
And signify the times
Today is a window, tomorrow the landscape
All you need to do is take a look outside
To know what we're bound to face
The level of disparity
The common man
The manner of destruction of the native land
The poverty of reprisal from all involved
And the scathing trajectory from the past
Markovian process lead us not in vain
Prove to our descendants what we did to them
Then make us go away

16. _ The Universal Cynic
Catch a shooting star and put it in your pocket
Then your skin will start on fire
One bird in the hand, or two birds in the bush
Neither do you any good, when you're stuck in the quagmire
Show everyone you're not sure that they're telling he truth
Then you can be known as the universal cynic too
Benefit your fellow man with good deeds for the day
And you'll serve your life away
Pennies saved today are pennies still tomorrow
Strewn upon the desk, piled up in the paper weight
Show everyone you're not sure that they're telling the truth
Then you'll be known as the universal cynic too
Wipe your opaque eyes and restore your crystal vision
Turn another cheek and exalt in your decision
A bit of exercise for the universal cynic in you
Early to bed, and early to rise
Precludes you from seeing the most brilliant starry nights
Sticks and stones can break bones, words can't really hurt
Unless you carry guns, and are hungry for a fight
Challenging the standards, or questioning the established rules
Trying to understand how they can benefit you
Showing everyone you're not sure that they're telling the truth
Just a bit of exercise for the universal cynic in you

17. _ News From The Front
Blood is a river,
Flowing darkly amidst the tangled roots of the tall shining city
Crazy flowing mantide migrations
Engorge the big ventricle of heartbroken america
So many heaven hoping, hopeful groping breathers
All tap together quietly and desperately in unison
Hey, hey, hey, is anybody listening?
News from the front
News from the front
We're living in troubled times
So many fighting for their lives
Why do the troops despise the news from the front?
Ignorance is the root of fear
Fear is the kindling of anger
War is the bringer of shame
But never has the burden lain so heavily upon the victim
Rage and desolation
Pain and loneliness
Isn't it all alarmingly familiar?
Hey, hey, hey, silence is a killer.
News from the front
News from the front
Yeah these are troubled times
How many more will have to die
Before the governors can't deny the news from the front?
Break down the barriers, ally the carriers,
What is your motivation? take a good look in the mirror
News from the front
News from the front
So many are fighting for their lives
How many more will have to die?
Why does the government decry the news from the front?

18. _ Destined For Nothing
Who do you believe can put some meaning in your life?
(meaning in your life, meaning in your life)
Who do you conceive to provide you guidance and light?
(guidance and light, guidance and light)
Are they waiting for you in the by and by?
Do you even have to try?
Headed for eternity and destined for nothing
The future isn't difficult to see
(it's easy) to confuse grand design with life's repercussions
Lament not your vanquished fantasy
It's only destiny
Why do you consent to live in ignorance and fear?
(ignorance and fear, ignorance and fear)
Ancient people succumbed to it, can it happen here?
(can it happen here, can it happen here)
Does it make you suffer 'cause you have to die?
Is it best to live a lie?
Headed for eternity and destined for nothing
The future isn't difficult to see
(it's easy) to confuse grand design with life's repercussions
Lament not your vanquished fantasy
It's only destiny
Why can't you see there ain't no destiny for you and me?
Headed for eternity and destined for nothing
The future isn't difficult to see
(it's easy) to confuse grand design with life's repercussions
Lament not your vanquished fantasy
It's only destiny
