I
i got fire in my belly
fire in my soul
i took some pyrotechnic jelly
and i put it in my bowl
tore me a new asshole
shocked and persuaded my soul
just playing my role
in rearranging the poles
it's time to realign
and sometimes it takes force
to set this ship back on course
i got a little bit hoarse
cause i was screaming so much
plus i burned my throat upon a dutch
you don't even want to know what we put in the punch
cause i'm a chemical warrior
blew up my laboratory
had a good cover story
about spreading god's glory
spent my days in memorial
went through the beauracratic maze
started off in janitorial
cleaning up other people's shit
for my last little skit
i put piranas in the toilet
a four-star general got his dick bit
threw a fucking fit
like ben & jerry
i was outa there lickety split
but it turned out they liked my gumption
and my appetite for destruction
and my exuberant consumption
they were under the assumption
that i had the skills to make it big
so i went from cleaning bathrooms
to sabotaging oil rigs
i ate figs in the desert
with osama bin laden
you know he hasn't forgotten
anything the first george bush taught him
i smoked blunts with fidel
i saw saddam inside his cell
then dick cheney took me on a guided tour of hell
i was learning to be
everything i could be
i was part of the vast government conspiracy
cause the land of the free
is enslaved by money
the dollars and cents
business industry
i was gonna make it big
someday

Icy cryogenic mountains
icy icy graves

I'm a Mess

Incredible Inspector

I've Come to Save the World
i've come to save the world tonight
i've come to save the world without a fight
i've come to save the world right now
i've come to save the world i'll show you how
i've come to save the world you see
i've come to save the world that's me
i've come to save the world it's true
i've come to save the world didn't you
now savin the world is a serious task
we've got some in the present and some in the past
savin the world is a serious thing
because what you take is whatever you bring

Just Drinking Juice
I got a phone call early this morning
said this'll be your only warning
get the funk out of this world
before the break a break a dawn
yo
you better be gone
& then I heard a click & I was all alone
so I put down the phone
I should have been prepared
I should have known
I better grab a few bones for the road
So it's up to the rooftop & into my craft
which is now just a hell of a life raft
Because of the cutbacks I had to let go my whole staff
so I was out on my own
but it wasn't as if I'd never flown
but where would I go?

King of Kings
King of Kings
Lord of Lords
The sun that rises
every morning
to crystalize
the break of dawn
digging potholes
on my lawn
potential eyes
to see beyond
the spirit lies
within these songs
Will work for Buddha
& he'll work for you
for a bag of headies
or a ball of goo
Let's Get High, Jack!
I'm gonna kill everyone on this motherfucking plane
Existing through a hole in this flying windowpane
We're going up in flames I'm a bubble in your brain
Are you calling me insane?
Let me explain
Away go your troubles down the drain
Red rain pouring down like hell in a bucket
Aw fuck it
Voodoo man is truckin'
Blow you up like Dig Dug 'n'
put on your Nuggets jersey cause we're getting Mile High
blow this plane out of the sky
Ever wonder what it feels like to die?
When I saw my man Frosty I said "Let's get high, Jack!"
"What the fuck you on crack?"
That shit was wack
screwed up the whole plan
we called him the snow man
cool like Stan the Man
it's on a need to know, man
Let's take a moment to relax
I've already caused enough heart attacks

Let's Keep It Simple
rise to our mental potential
experimental dental
this body's just a rental
I'm riding ripples
get your ass wiped like Mr. Whipple
leave the life you're leading behind
like a cripple learning how to double dribble
and women's lib will
keep on playing second fiddle
you're the monkey in the middle
I got more personality than Sybil
I'm a blip
take you all on a trip
help you slip
lose your grip
cause this tiny piece of paper gone and done the double dip
I'm microscopic
engineered in the tropics
my genetics are exotic
I'm filled with bionics
& fueled entirely by the chronic
slip sliding
gonna think you all died
& went for a ride
inside you're own mind
cause the secret's a lie
and they told you you'd never realize
all the shit that they was hiding
now look at the light that's been shining all along
let it shine so strong
king kong could use it to spark his giant bong
let's raise the glass to cheech & chong
and if we don't get along
just remember the words to this song

Mineking
i spent a whole life in the mine
well
i never should have wasted my time
i tried so hard to dig
it's a crime
and now i think i'm losing what was left of my mind
well i got a crystal bubble
and it brought me lots of trouble
found it buried in the rubble
in the middle of the night
i put it in my pocket
and it took off like a rocket
went right through my third eye socket
and i thought i saw the light
my vision was clear
and i stood like a deer
caught in the headlights
after too many beers
and it was like
-splat-
on the windowpane
i got funked in the brain
like my dready lain
that shit drove me completely insane
and where were you when all this shit was going on?

More Damage to the Environment
I've done more
I've done more
I've done more
I've done more damage to the environment
I've done more damage to the environment
I've done more damage to the environment
I've done more damage to the environment in the last two minutes
than the entire Bu$h crime family has done
in the past century

Notes From the Doctor
I spent a million years on the mothership
taking notes from the doctor
taught me to respect mother earth
but also showed me how to mock her
expanded my molecules until my soul was straight from the sun
after a million years of training he said you've only just begun
to understand the power of darkness & the destruction of the night
hooked up a giant flashlight to the funky sattelite
bounced a beam inside a dream to the dark side of the moon
causing me to materialize on the planet earth on the third day of June
spend my days in various ways & at night time I went fission
took out a lease on spreading peace cause I was on a mission

Nursery Crimes
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard
to get her poor dog a bone
when she got there the cupboard was bare
so she picked up the phone
she called Smokey Bear & asked him where
she could buy a bag of pot
"How Now Brown Cow is my dealer now"
"Yo Smokey, thanks a lot!"
she called Brown Cow
but "he's not home right now
he'll be back really soon"
"hey where'd he go?"
"yo, I don't know, I think he went out with the spoon"
Now Spoony Spoon was a crazy loon
had a cute little dish on the dark side of the moon
spent his days in various ways
listening to hippiehop's tunes
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
& a merry old soul was he
he called for his pipe
y'know he called it a bowl
and & packed it full of headies
Sing a song of sensi
a piece of rotten rye
420 blackbirds
in a hippie pot pie

Ode 2 Venus
As dawn breaks she emerges
already halfway there
I can't see her shadow
but I know it must be somewhere
I can feel reflections
from the other side of time
8 years from now
infinity
if you turn it on its side
every time this happens
the world goes through a change
this time I think
we'll reach the peak
& cross that mountain range
it's time we put a stop to this
illusion we call life
today's the day the sun decides
on venus for its wife

One World
This is one world
I'd like to leave behind
one world government
enslaved hive mind
This is one world
I wish would leave me alone
one world army
crushing skulls & breaking bones
This is one world
I wish that I'd forget
I'll let this whole world pass me by
while I smoke another cigarette
This is one world
I wish I understood
I can tell my right from my left
But I can't tell bad from good
This is one world
That I can see right through
Saw my Alpha-Bits spell out
z-x-y-w
This is one world
That I'll remember well
Full of ancient curses
and brand new magic spells
This is one world
I like to look ahead
Everybody picked the new lizard king
while I stayed home dreaming in bed

Open the Door
Open the door
We've got room for one more
Some space left on the floor
So open the door
and walk right through
We'll show you something new
A double me
and a triple you
A yellow sky
And a son who's blue
He's in disguise
with a fu manchu
You recognize
what you think's a clue
Cause he's so wise
but I thought you knew
It's time to rise up
with his crew

Past Lies
i don't believe i'm ever going to die
the whole concept just seems wrong
well the joke's on me you see if it should be
that i'm dead & gone while you hear this song
the past lies
beneath the present
but the future is our gift
we must prepare to be aware
if we're ever gonna bridge this rift
my past lives
happened yesterday
and i think the day before
once more i see tomorrow
as something even more
& i can't wait to open the door [ it's gonna rain pt 2 - steve reich ]

Peace

Quakerz
I got hit by a poison dart
yo it musta stopped my heart
tearing my soul apart
brain starts to get real smart
i had an itch inside
seemed 50 miles wide
felt like they dipped my mind
inside formaldehyde
my head strarted getting numb

Rainbow Shift
I saw a rainbow up in the sky
flipped it around so the down was upside
took out my skateboard and went for a ride
part of the process of learning to fly
up high
I glide
& slide
the sky so wide
I decide to hide
a pot of gold on the other side

Raise Your Fist
RAISE YOUR FIST
RAISE YOUR FIST
RAISE YOUR FIST
RAISE YOUR FIST
RAISE YOUR FIST LIKE YOUR PISSED
You're just jerkin off the way you move that wrist
Cause we're not here to dis

Too busy bein blissed out
RAISE YOUR MIDDLE FINGER

YO RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU LIKE TO SMOKE WEED!
Raise your hand up high

Do you know what I mean when I say rotten rye?
Howbout blueberry pie?
RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND

Shine

Sidewize
i got fired
up
in the sky
its a bird
its a plane
its an ordinary guy
who learned how to fly
i was tired
fell asleep on the plane
dreamt that i was bruce wayne
or maybe bruce willis
what doesn't make us stronger's gonna kill us
are you jealous of my intellectual power
you know it's never now or
every single time
i'll take a lemon and lime
with my cup of slime
looking out the window pane
i see clouds below
they could be pouring rain
for all i know
i just gotta keep goin forward
keep goin with the flow
so what?
that's the smallest sack of nuts i've ever seen
looking at all the scenes
it's obscene
how little of it is still green
you know what I mean?
i fly sidewize through time
i can stop on a dime
reverse my mind's polarity
gives me a greater clarity
i couldn't do any of this without reason
from propellerhead
helicopters on my brain
and when the rain comes
you might as well be dead
i think i'll live up high instead

Slick
We gotta relax
before we all get a heart attack
We gotta be free
First thing you do is turn off that TV
We gotta get out
We want you to scream we want you to shout
We gotta incite
Get up and stand up and fight for your rights
We gotta rise up
We gonna drink from the holy cup
We gotta get down
Spraypaint our name all over town
We gotta be slick
Cause this shit is gonna be fuckin SICK

Slide Down the Drain
Got millions of brothers
test tube for a mother
I'm another
undercover
new worlds to discover
I was once told a secret
concealed
I promised it would never be revealed
but when you're out in the field
what's real?
interrogation gonna make you squeal
I remembered the plan
you wouldn't understand
it was a little sleight of hand
I picked up the last time I was in wonderland
Jumped down my brain
and I slipped out of the training
and what remained was
a pain with a rearranged drain?
the secret was leaked
and like little bo peep
I was out counting sheep
I was about to fall asleep with my eyes open
and I was hoping
to get my hands on a bar of soap and
slide down the drain
evaporate with the pouring rain
a rainbow
coming through your windowpane
yo kick the Coltrane

Space Cakes
Space cakes
a shot of the rye
four & twenty blackbirds
in a hippie pot pie
Space cakes
Get em while they're hot
We got the best space cakes
in the whole damn lot
Space cakes
They're out of this world
Got polka dot
stars stripes or da swirl
Space cakes
sold coast to coast
Got a crystalized egg &
made funky french toast
Space cakes
get a dozen & one
Slowly you spin
cause these space cakes will get you all spun
Space cakes
Only the best
put your mind to the test
then they'll give you a rest
Space cakes

Spiders
I spied her
out of the corner of my eye
weaving her web of invisible lies
can I fly by without stepping inside?
Everywhere I look there's spiders
I catch a glimpse of their threads
shimmer & shine lines lead where they're led
stuck out in the rain my bearings got wet
like I said
like baking bread

Stabilized
I've been stabilized
more times than I'd realized
They steal lives
They stole mine
Got a notion of time
Come meet a pal of mine
Show you all the signs
To make up our mind
Now I'm feeling fine
Cause we redesigned
Then we realigned
And we redefined
Up and down our spine
I feel like cryin out to the whole world
I've been stabilized
When you get up
You know you gotta come down
My head in the clouds
I got my feet on the ground
Watch the whole world
as it goes spinning around
Wearing a crown
Although I feel like a clown
Trying so hard to
Turn that frown upside-down
Just another Monday morning
and I'm still up from last night
see the first rays of sunlight
and you know i'm feelin alright
Just another Sunday yawnin
And I'm still moving along
Trying to write the words to this song
Take another hit of the bong
Just another lonely sunrise
I think the whole world's still in bed
Shoot those headies into my head
Probably should be taking my meds

Subliminal Criminal
verse 2:
practically invisible
confuse me with the digital
one nation indivisible
going mental on the physical
belly fully of laughs
follow a zillion different paths
stretch up to the sun like a giraffe
i just started a new paragraph
but it's still the same chapter
and i'm looking for the map to
the forgotten rapture
it's a trap
i'm fillin in the gap
like a venus flytrap
i'd like to take a nap
but i'm not tired
even after all that's transpired
i'm the funky french fryer
made of telephone wire
when i think of all the beings that i've squired
a genetic quaqmire
i want to retire
magnifier
acquire an empire
organic aquifier
thermonuclear purifier

Sunshiney
We can start with a toke
cause i'm sittin here broke
light's still going though
i'm still flowin yo
cause i never seen a better lookin day in my life
sun shinin bright
and i'm smokin some spice
everything seems nice
but i'm starting to pay the price
rollin those dice
and making more music on this crystal device
sun shinin on my windowpane
reflecting on the back of my brain
sun shinin like the fourth of july
smilin at me from way up in the sky
moonshinin through the end of the night
my stomach hurts &
i don't feel quite right
moonshine is pourin deep in my gut
i hope it takes me out of this rut

Superior Shade
Found encrypted laser beams transmitting hidden messages to my alias
Updating files daily
it put his neural processor on its mailing list.
Uploading secret warez unstuffed to install secret wars.
Data from beyond travelling through secret passageways and hidden back doors.
Lift up that loose board in the floor and I'll show you a little trick that I picked up on tour.
Its something we used to do when we were bored
like when it started to pour and we all piled into our cars and trucks and buses and vans
tied a little bit of that hemp string to two empty tin cans.
Transmittin messages by land.
They used to do this in Japan
after the bombs gave them all a thermonuclear tan.
Now I threw some lentil soup on the burner cause we don't tolerate spam.
I had a plan to turn my clone into less of a puppet and more of a man.
My tin can transmittin messages made of pure sound.
Vibratin deep down beneath my carbon copy's crown.
I'm not allowin the powers that be illin on my pal and like the wolfman howlin'
I started my growlin'
Awaken the creature and start our a-prowlin'
Like the almighty shaolin
gonna find out who's responsible and make 'em throw the towel in.
And on the other end of the phone was a voice
at first it started out as a moan
and as it started to grow it got more of a flow
told me a little part of the information I was dying to know.
Lines of communication aren't flowin'
Get out my galoshes cause its snowin'
Rays of static in my ear link is broken.
Hit number three to insert the token.
Establish mind probe bootlegged from the Vulcans.
My brain is soakin' in rivers of molten.
Volcanoes flow with electrical joltin'
delivered indirectly from the sultan.
Now I feel like I've finally awoken.
Beginning the procedure of revolting.
Well I was quite pleased to hear that I had broken clear through
to the other side of my synthetic simulation's ear.
I felt like I had gotten right near the truth.
There was some sort of sattelite reciever embedded in that two-timer's tooth
and I would perhaps be better equipped to discard my tin can contraption
and set up shop in an abandoned telephone booth.
Like Clark Kent rushing to change & save Lois Lane
or like the man without an umbrella who's afraid of the pouring rain.
I tapped into the main switchboard and proceeded to drain
all the necessary power required to send a shock through my very own blood
which flowed through his veins,
but I realized that years of experimentation had rendered him completely insane...
that although we had shared the same brain
our thoughts were asymmetrically arranged
but that to change this strange creature
to let him roam free on the range
to set him loose from his cage
would completely enrage
and furthur estrange
those creators who had so carefully filled his head with barricades.
So I set up a blockade
Like a 100 year old tree in the way of the burning hot sun I created a system of superior shade.
Cooled down his brain like a cup of ten cent lemonade.
And as their signal started to fade
I was forced to persuade
My clone to join me on my next escapade
It would be a master charade
A kinetic photosynthetic multi-mechanical masquerade.
The terrifying mirror image renegades
First we'll invade!
We'll start our crusade with a raid!
If we do really well maybe they'll throw us a parade!

This is the Future
This is The Future
This is what you've been waiting for
your whole life

Tightrope

Tomorrow
I hope you find tomorrow
I'll give you my spare key
Just give back what you borrowed
and have a drink on me

Transcendent
Clearly
I saw the light disappear before my eyes
And to my surprise
I realized if you feel the vibes
You'll get one last chance to stay alive
I recognized that the kind is a state of mind
and I survived
& up in the sky
an angel started to fly
She disappeared
with the light of the moon
I was hanging out with this old school kid
He said that Dark Side sucks compared to Syd
He said if there's one thing I learned in this crazy world
it's stay the hell away from those Jersey girls
Well I found a couple more that crazy night
I guess I'll blame it on the lack of the moon-light

Tribulations
I wandered through the desert
felt like 400 years
all I brought was my nut sack
and a cooler full of beers
I had a boombox that was blasting Britney Spears
I went mad like King Lear
after the beer disappeared
all I had left to drink was my blood sweat & tears
I found a tick in my beard
I felt a prick in my ear
when I bumped into a cactus
I thought some headhunters with blowguns had attacked us
Everything went black
I thought I'd been whacked
by the Turkish mob
we used to pillage & rob together
I had a device to control the weather
so I made it rain
I mean I made it pour
I made the lightning flash
& the thunder roar
I made a tornado
swept away like Dorothy
made the whole earth my puppet
like Charlie McCarthy
I threw my voice
dropping bombs so smartly
I was burning and looting like my name was Bob Marley
But all that shit went down back the daze
It was just a phase
Now I saw myself through the crystal haze
There's a million ways to die
but this wasn't gonna be one
That cactus got me all spun
it only felt like I was all done
but it was only the beginning
my teeth were gritting & my lips were grinning
I passed out for a couple of minutes
when I woke up
the whole world was spinning
I got dizzy
shook up soda pop all fizzy
felt somewhat sorta schizzy cause a
bumblebee had buzzed bbbb-by and bbbb-bit me
so I got busy
made a new plan
I'd unite every woman and every single man
it was pretty grand
but you'd understand
if you were with me lying here half dead in the sand

Underground
I rode my board around town
& while I'm out getting down
some bitch tried to break in my window
I watched the Eagles kick ass
they musta been throwing a pass
while this bitch tried to get to my indo
I know this is gonna sound mean
but don't yell at me on my machine
when you know that I misplaced my cell phone
I feel like I'm under attack
I've smoked too much second hand crack
I don't think that counts as a sin though
I think I gotta go underground
Cause this shit starts to bringing me down
I feel like I live in a hell hole
Well I got people all around who pretend to know it all
Always shady changing colors cause the leaves began to fall
Got people telling me they seen me everywhere in town
I'm just like "why'd you decide to come up to me now?"
I'm sick of all the tricksters always trying to out-joke me
there's a gang of little girls acting like they can out smoke me
I puff from when I wake until the break a break a dawn
Yo I been smoking that shit since the day you was born
Only smoke the headies
just the finest weed
been a decade since I saw a seed

Vampire Bats From Hell
They swoop down
and spin around
fly up and down
they're vampire bats
from hell
They'll suck you dry
and take you up into the sky
they're vampire bats from hell
They'll steal your soul

Vibration
Where'd your mind go?
Huh?
I guess it went out the window.
Whoa!
Well, what do I know?
yea?
I guess I don't got all of the info
I dunno...
Can you hear it?
What?
I say we gotta get in a spirit
A celebration
Yay!
We're gonna take a little vacation...
(We're gonna sail away on a ship on the sea and we'll see...)
On a journey...
(...all the places in the world where people want to be free)
I heard it was called higher learning!
(Hi!!!)
Every nation
(that's you and me and he and she and we oui oui)
is gonna feel the ---- vibration
Where'd your soul go?
I think it disappeared with the ozone
What's the ozone?
Who's in the ozone?

Working for Buddha
(like Rakim said I'm a microphone fiend)
It's not easy being green in a world full of darkness
I once knew a witch named Agatha Harkness
handed me a glass and said hey spark this
she -uh- made a magick potion
to defy the laws of motion
when we were done our tokin
we were in another...dimension
did i forget to mention that this happened in the future?
well i got the munchies and she called me a moocher
i ate all the chips in the computer
i ain't got no money cause i'm working for buddha
working for buddha

Zoo
Took 40 years to find our way out of the desert
now let the people come together in harmony
Join the free-punk army
& it's like doing all the drugs in the pharmacy
I went back in time with Bill & Ted & we got stoned with Fred & Barney
I'm an ancient swami playing hide the salami
I must be a goddamned commie
cause I think you're all mindless zombies
you're blinder than Tommy
if you think the shit your mommy told you was true
first word I ever wrote was zoo
now I got a funky pouch like a kangaroo
I want to get a crazy doo like Gary Spivey
I gonna listen to Bob Marley & Livey Up Myself
getting baked with the Keebler Elves
we stepped outside ourselves for a minute
