The World Is Going To End Tomorrow (Single)
I woke drowning in my bed I thought I must be dreaming
No one saw me, I was lost, and nobody heard me screaming
Newsman yak yak cracks a joke says find your bed of clover
You got no reason to work for someone, God is dead, and life means nothing
I ran to the shed for my tent and hacksaw and saw that I was bleeding
The sky turned red I thought I’m dead what is this that I’m feeling
I catch my breath and look around me nobody else is freaking
Count to fifty count to fifty wait for sunrise count to fifty
The world is going to end tomorrow
The world is going to end tomorrow
Don't talk back get in line you know they’ll take your money every time
The world is going to end tomorrow
I don’t need shares in crypto-manna and I ain’t gonna be no hoarder
I don’t wanna stockpile guns and ammo go cruising at the border
Keep your mouth shut - when you’re near me I don’t care what you’re thinking
I know who I am and what I’m doing you can’t change my mind so just stop trying
The world is going to end tomorrow
The world is going to end tomorrow
Don't talk back get in line you know they’ll take your money every time
The world is going to end tomorrow
The world is going to end tomorrow
The world is going to end
The world is going to end
The world is going to end tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Head on a Stick (Single)
Yeah, you think you’re cool but your head’s on a stick
They wanted to believe you
They wanted to believe you
Yeah, you think you’re cool but your head’s on a stick
They wanted to believe you
They wanted to believe you
At the trial of the century it all went down
You was dressed up in a suit but, underneath it still a clown
We watched you hide from the camera while the lawyers did their thing
You sent your friends down the river, we all heard you sing
Yeah, you think you’re cool but your head’s on a stick
They wanted to believe you
They wanted to believe you
Yeah, you think you’re cool but your head’s on a stick
They wanted to believe you
They wanted to believe you
All hail to thief now you got no power
We saw your world fall apart in your finest hour
Now you know it’s not a game
Let the children know your name
Yeah, you think you’re cool but your head’s on a stick
They wanted to believe you
They wanted to believe you
Yeah, you think you’re cool but your head’s on a stick
They wanted to believe you
They wanted to believe you
They wanted to believe you
They wanted to believe you
They wanted to believe you
They wanted to believe you
Yeah, you think you’re cool but your head’s on a stick
They wanted to believe you
They wanted to believe you
Fire Below
See the western winds unfold
All up along that road
The weather man didn’t see that coming
They stormed the beach from a blood red sea
All up along that road
Drained the banks and kept on running
Kill them in their slumber
Turn your back on their past
This revolution has to be the last
Fire Below
Fire Below
Fire Below
Fire Below
Dropping their gold as they run and hide
All up along that road
There’s more to life than stealing money
Read out the ledger and hunt them down
All up along that road
Ask the hungry if they think it’s funny
Kill them in their slumber
Turn your back on their past
This revolution has to be the last
Fire Below
Fire Below
Fire Below
Fire Below
Fire Below
Fire Below
Fire Below
Fire Below
Fire Below
Fire Below
How Does it Feel?
I took you for a ride on my magic spaceship
Zoom zoom zoom pow
Where the air is sweet and water tastes like candy
How’d you like me now?
You can’t go to work when you look like that dude
You know that I’m right
My claws in deep as I redefine you
Don’t try to fight
Does it feel like I’m crushing your skull?
Does it feel like I’m breaking your balls?
Can you see that I’m breaking everything you love?
Can you see that I’m taking it all?
You try so hard but you just can’t shake me
Zoom zoom zoom pow
I count the days 'till your heart stops beating
You make me feel so proud
Does it feel like I’m crushing your skull?
Does it feel like I’m breaking your balls?
Can you see that I’m breaking everything you love?
Can you see that I’m taking it all?
Oh yeah
Give it to me
Does it feel like I’m crushing your skull?
Does it feel like I’m breaking your balls?
Can you see that I’m breaking everything you love?
Can you see that I’m taking it all?
Does it feel like I’m crushing your skull?
Does it feel like I’m breaking your balls?
Can you see that I’m breaking everything you love?
Can you see that I’m taking it all?
The Ballad of the Mad Trapper
Billy boy, silly boy living in a tree
The people of the town just wouldn’t let him be
Pull him out run him down tell him that it’s fun
Billy let them have it with his grand daddy’s gun
Mayor gets the sheriff and a vigilante crew
Met up in the church and decided what to do
Smoke him out string him up shoot him in the knee
Tie him to a rock and then throw him in the sea
Can you see them scatter when he stands up tall
Hands all shaking, boots all quaking
Can you hear them weep can you hear them wail
Waiting for the rain to fall
Sheriff says get the dogs looking at his map
I’ll get him in my hand, I’m gonna get him in a trap
Billy took the river bank and headed into town
Soon made sure he burned it to the ground
Can you see them scatter when he stands up tall
Hands all shaking, boots all quaking
Can you hear them weep can you hear them wail
Waiting for the rain to fall
They turned him into a soldier boy
And the newspaper called him a monster
Billy walk, Billy fly, Billy ran away
Found another tree and there he’ll stay
He’ll dance on your eye when you’re looking at the moon
Eats all the light when you walk in the room
Can you see them scatter when he stands up tall
Hands all shaking, boots all quaking
Can you hear them weep can you hear them wail
Waiting for the rain to fall
You Have to Believe It
Golden days how I love to stay and colour my history brown
The olden days seem so misty when you hide all the the things that bring you down
Oh come on baby don’t you say it’s so
There is no reason that you have to go
It’s so much better when we’re not alone
You have to believe it
What can i say or do to make you stay
The world is getting darker every day
Why can’t you see it any other way?
You have to believe it
You say it’s broken and you want it to die
But cannot justify the reason why
We heard your story but we know it’s a lie
You have to believe it
The Sailing Song
I come from away on a silver sail
Through typhoons snow and wind and hail
You can’t stop me heading where I will go
I’m coming in to shore I’m dying just to meet you
Captain said beware that glow it’ll bring you death on the rocks below
The sirens call will bewitch your soul
But here I am - dying just to meet you
See me here while my heart is still beating
Take me now and I’ll be yours forever more
Gabbay gabby — can you hear me now?
I woke up broken and woke up dead
The boys took turns pouring poison in my head
We’re heading out to sea and i’m locked in a box
This much I know I’m still dying just to meet you
Yeah, I’m never going to meet you
Yeah, I’m never going to meet you
Yeah, I’m never going to meet you
The World Is Going To End Tomorrow (Album)
I Sacrifice
I walked into your nightmare and hero was my name
I chose to fight for freedom but it was just a game
You sent me to another country – I can’t tell which is which
I left my brother dying with no arms in a ditch
I sacrificed my blood it did it in your name
I sacrificed my name I did just what I should
I sacrificed by blood I sacrificed my life
I sacrificed my life I sacrificed my blood
I ain’t got no money for food – I ain’t got no money for rent
All that money you gave me – it has all been spent
You said you would remember the fighters for the free
My story ain’t nothing special – there’s plenty more like me
I sacrificed my blood it did it in your name
I sacrificed my name I did just what i should
I sacrificed by blood I sacrificed my life
I sacrificed my life I sacrificed my blood
I sacrificed my blood
I sacrificed my blood
I sacrificed my blood it did it in your name
I sacrificed my name I did just what I should
I sacrificed by blood I sacrificed my life
I sacrificed my life I sacrificed my blood
The Curse Of The Wu-Hu
Bile in your belly as the acid eats your insides
You must have crossed a line coz his eye’s on you a wu-hu
You’re coming down hard, you’re coming down fast
The doc said it’s fifty-fifty
You can’t smell a thing and you can’t see a thing at night
Wu-hu-hu
Wu-hu-hu
Mumble tongue jibber jabber flapping away in your eardrums
The cops at the station said your heart stopped beating a wu-hu
Soon fall down, you just might drown
Waiting for the rats to find you
Yeah you’ve been schooled you been versed in the curse of the wu-hu
Wu-hu-hu
Wu-hu-hu
Wu-hu-hu
Wu-hu-hu
Suspect
Come alive all you demons and you warriors
I hunt those who undermine the emperor
You can hide but your neighbours will rat you out
We’ll take a ride in my blue limo baby
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You’re so cute saving the environment
I am an agent of the government
My list is long and all your names are on it
Your next vacation will be in solitary
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
Waterboarding For Christ
Watching my brother drown
Taking a baby down I’m feeling like I’m not really here
Watching my mother drown
Nothing below me now
The mad dogs are licking my fear
I think I can fly away
I think I can fly away
Forever lonely
Watching my brother drown
Taking a baby down I’m feeling like I’m not really here
Watching my mother drown
Nothing below me now
The mad dogs are licking my fear
I think I can fly away
I think I can fly away
(I’m So Glad I’m) Living On The Moon (With My Baby)
All over California they’re calling out for water
And the air ain’t fit to breathe
A dream vacation in your favourite destination
Everybody’s living on their knees
At the demonstration the television station
Is dancing with the police
You say you wanna vote but the system is broke
You get arrested for disturbing the peace
I’m so glad I’m living on the Moon with my baby
I’m so glad I’m living on the Moon with my baby
You’re all against or for us the same old chorus
That they’re screaming at you every day
If you follow all the money the land of milk and honey
Was long ago and far away
I’m so glad I’m living on the Moon with my baby
I’m so glad I’m living on the Moon with my baby
I’m so glad I’m living on the Moon with my baby
I’m so glad I’m living on the Moon with my baby
The Ideas in Your Head
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Get High and Quit
Hide my shame under my skin
It helps me work and it keeps me thin – dig it
The boss all day he’s all work, work, work
Worships God and treats us like dirt
I can get high and quit it
I can get high and quit it
I’m gonna float in the mountains and fly in the swamp
I can hear the angels singing my song
I need my medicine I need my fix
I’m feeling like a king high above the hicks
I can get high and quit it
I can get high and quit it
Come to me queen in your long white gown
Take me away from this mean old town
Give me the love make my hands stop shaking
Light up the night ‘coz I’m done faking
I can get high and quit it
Don’t Come Back for Me
Anger stands before me
And violence is his name
Mercy will not call me
No matter what I do no matter what I say
Don’t come back for me
Truth is cruising downtown
And death is here to stay
And love has left the building
No matter what I do no matter what I say
Don’t come back for me
No matter what I do no matter what I say
Don’t come back for me
As a man I stand before you
Mystery is my name
I’ve nothing more to show you
No matter what I do no matter what I say
Don’t come back for me
No matter what I do no matter what I say
Don’t come back for me
The Dance of the Dead
We was here as thieves and queens
Stable boys and all between
We know your secrets we know your dreams
You can not know what we have seen
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
Come and dance with the dead
We lost our skin and flesh and bone
But here we are and here we roam
The world you know is still our home
And you will never be alone
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
Come and dance with the dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
Come and dance with the dead
You will never be alone
You will never be alone
This is the Dance of the Dead
The Inevitable
As I fly through the Musée d’Orsay
My bones ache when I see it this way
I am free from the weight of desire
I am light I am air I am fire.
Gone is flesh gone is need gone is want
No more blame, jealousy, or self-doubt
I am thought I am gone I am light
I am leaving
I am leaving
I am leaving
I am leaving
