Make him comfortable by pretending you’re something you’re not Make him talk Tell him what he needs to hear Compliments give you control Allow him to open up Wait a few years and now decide that you only liked the image of him that you had fabricated You conclude that a real person is too weak And you don’t want what’s real Now take it all back as you’ve taken everything Use everything that was said as ammunition There is a better version of him in your head

Sounds like those from other stables Sun shines normally like it does on all the rest Hay is stacked, but it's better than the usual And farm hands are wearing lab coats Maybe the steer are larger Could it be they have no tails? Perfect corn, all identical Was that a baby or the scream of a pig? Inside, featherless chickens are fed through plastic tubes Skinless swine eat unbruisable oranges that, in a way, are thier own relatives Sting of bleach and piss makes tears stream but has no effect on eyeless hybrids that wil never go outside in thier entire lives The investor, the cause, never sees but knows it is right because the product is convenient Fund Mengeles of the barnyard Research farm Pull the plug on the gene pool

Junk DNA 01:30
Trash strung together Slapdash, random Whatever was available in the heap Develops over time Whatever works for the circumstance Grovels, kills, but survives No guiding virtue as consciousness develops Begins to praise itself Believes in its superiority Leper messiah King dung-beetle President of this pile of shit Now rearranges itself Plays god after it made god Breaks it all up into a homogenized soup The discarded pieces remain to survive and repeat
4.
Just like on playstation Don't worry about those people They are not a real nation You're so good at it, it's almost innate Shoot em up just like a video zombie Fucking lower primates Of course you knew it was just a game Coincidentally, though, these controls are exactly the same Finger on the joystick trigger So familiar with this bird's eye view Foreigner, computer, monster, it's all the same No hesitation Families lie, bleeding, but it's like it never happened It's too far away to be real It won't be shown on our screens We know it's just a game
5.
Wearing capes Filing impossible claims It’s a bird, it’s a plane It’s as heroic as It makes itself out to be It's able to leap capital in a single bound Swish , crack, thud And levitating documents above our heads Far beyondour mere mortal computational skills Championing the system their forefathers have erected and keeping the population in its place
6.
On thrones, decorated Hands are washed Scientific idolatry Reading the newspaper about the bomb Resistance of the heart is real A clear written goal is the key to success They shall not be affected It is just too ugly Important disclosures, relating to accounts These are the verses of the book that makes clear Biting dried, bony meat The bull had been brave and now they dragged him, dead Fair market value Gallileo said nature is written in mathematics When ten thousand beings fall, watch their turning backs
7.
Bush Meat 01:00
Churning stomach Growl Salival impulse Incisor sever Skin roast Parts is parts Rip cartilage Gag, continue Monkey cannibal Greasy face Smoke and ashes Earth-encrusted fingernails Splayed, glistening Abdominal pulse The sensation of falling from a cliff Engrossed in hunger The taste of copper Burning hair Suffocate Smothered in juice Immersed in prey
8.
Talking wall Screaming wall Crying wall What you take in and build a reality from It's a deaf wall Oppressor, repressor, limiter Location, location, location Fuck you Hater, controller, container Bleeding wall Killing wall Forever wall Beyond: Dark matter Unseen universe Another’s feelings Quantum entanglement A glimpse into the unimaginable
9.
The mathematics are established Systems and formulas in place Believe in permanence You're doctor learned from the pharmacy Attourney learned from the criminal Your representative learened from the lobby It's all correct if it works in the short-term Please don't look at the whole picture The way you still think is so last decade The funding has changed, so commercial has changed and the book we’re taught from follows suit Now only focus on vocational training Really believe in separate subjects Subtract yourself from the larger discussion Subtract your validity Subtract yourself Subtract
10.
I pledge allegiance to coke and ford and disney and all that they stand for Thank you for accident forgiveness and cash back on items I buy I, the consumer, vow to make more sacrifices and I promise to make more purchases for the good of the economy I do this in your name I do this for my country I do this for the brand And the leaders of corporations who are too big to fail I firmly resolve with the help of zero-down to over-extend myself I conveniently remain one paycheck away from destitution and too exhausted to cause much trouble
11.
Digging In 01:25
Picking away at it again Like an idiot, you scratch Then really get the fingernails up underneath and begin to peel it up Crust attached to moist stringy connective tissue What is it you like about this? You dig deeper What’s in there? You know you already know If only you could climb inside The infection oozes out You widen the wound You go past the first layer and remember it’s all hollow inside except for you, now
12.
Ad Hominem 01:14
The more you explain the worse it gets It’s not paranoia It’s objectivity But you presented free thought as fantasy Treated honest questions as absurd Had the talking heads roll their eyes Mocked witnesses for their neighborhoods or for their age or how they look Expelled from the debate those who could not afford Made the truthful look like idiots The cover story is the baseless theory Information hoarder Lying motherfucker We define conspiracy We know who has something to hide
13.
The illusion that there is direction but really there is just a constant shuffling, a mixing up of patterns, repeatedly As if we know anything Our mouths keep running As if we are sure, we think we decide Rest easy in the full knowledge that you are wrong Know that the arrogance of your belief does nothing but cause harm Relax and know that it’s always been that way The gift of remorse It shuts you up
14.
Post-Human 01:29
It’s a strange thing, saying goodbye to yourself You define me Don’t ask who I am Post-human Sorry I turned off Just a picture of a man, and not a man In an image of a house, and not a home The illusion of a life, and not a life Sorry that I stopped Sorry that I am not I am not Can’t believe the illusion of decision See me singing, but I am not a singer See me dancing, but I don’t’ even know how Believing, but I’m not a believer Laughing, but nothing is funny
15.
The New Poor 01:18
Welcome to the growing ranks, but this club is not exactly exclusive now you’ll learn to go without You can think of it as a vacation from all your old obligations. No more mortgage, but no more house No morning alarm, but nowhere to be No more insurance, but you own nothing No more family, but they never loved you Now you can lay down and relax under your mobile cardboard home, dreaming that there was more to you than your income, dreaming that there was more But you know there was not
16.
You can’t remember what your dreams were Another person’s vision was easier than your own Your children don’t know you, your wife could care less You’ve become everything you said you hated You refuse to see yourself No objectivity in the mirror To follow your heart is out of the question Something ventured, nothing gained Sacrificed the moment for some bullshit You thought you had it all You have nothing You thought you had friends You are alone You thought you had a future You never had a chance There never was a man on the moon There never was a father in the home
17.
Remington solution 12 gauge problem solver Levels out the playing field Doesn’t it? Winchester quick-fix Magnum express Respect for you A bad day for them Shotgun salvation Waste the whole population just because your fucking feelings got hurt You think it’s revenge? You think you’re part of a cause? You’re just breeding more of what you claim to oppose Now your actions create more hate Kill kill kill kill You still lose
