Been there done that temper tantrum narcissist, got woke thought so fell asleep again though. Forced love insane disguised liberal, dove deep got out educated now shout. Fee fi fo fum I smell a new age demon. Fee fi fo fum possessed ego inflation. Truth works lies don't bull-shit tips the boat, blue days red pills far out's going in. Mainstream infects those who follow it, watch out they'll get you rise up or fall though. Fee fi fo fum I small a passive citizen. Fee fi fo fum don't you wanna know what's going on. Beast mode net node information overload, takes time makes rhyme writes down clarifies. Communication problem makes unstable, freak out calm down all's well for now. Fee fi fo fum I small a world of division. Fee fi fo fum wholeness is the solution. Somethin' grows quite clear divide for fear, money talks message heard line 'em up like a herd. Turn on drop in Leary's atmospheric spin, bees go we go would you like to stay afloat? Fee fi fo fum I smell global warming. Fee fi fo fum can't say we didnt get a warnin'. Be strong like this channel rage clinch, fist fight war know who is the real you. Not easy given this vital info suppressed, left wing damaged propogandsists infultrate. Fee fi fo fum I small Cathy Newman. Fee fi fo fum trying to trick Jordan Peterson. Power hungry bellies full dumbed down bodies numb, distract the populaton backstage plans are placing. Buzzed up brainwashed authorotarian smog, leaders be ashamed but who would dare to step on. Fee fi fo fum I smell a crooked politician. Fee fi fo fum but we're the ones who elect them. Find out be brave lots to lose but more at stake, human history bet on you and me. New hope is there first though must care, why though give a fuck? Nothing else matters much. Fee fi fo fum I smell a lack of motivation. Fee fi fo fum there's a light inside we must summon. Threat detected virus found sick on sacred ground, a moment of silence please stand firm face disease. Worn out not surprised work all day and then get high, come down want more viscious cycle find a cure. Fee fo fo fum I smell a world of addiction. Fee fo fo fum everybody's got their obsessions. Meanwhile idolized fake celebrities smile, confused me too rebel wisdom real news. Burn sage restart self empowered stoic art, sometimes can't decide women's choice or babies lives. Fee fo fo fum I smell a difficult decision. Fee fi fo fum I'm glad I'm not a woman. Shut up go on the whole world in one song, think I summed it up well might even sell. I'm over-whelmed I know too much I endure don't need no crutch, I relax work on self run to heaven from hell. Fee fi fo fum could we be the last generaiton? Fee fi fo fum not before I have my say first. Fee fo fo fum what's coming over the horizon? Fee fi fo fum with every step you are deciding.

Post Post Modern Blues No such thing absolute truth Except for the ones we chose to control your time and your point of view. Postmodern Blues. The world gone mad and so have I. God is dead and the devils alive. Facts mean nothing and you can't rely on your brother or your sister 'cause they're livina a lie. Postmodern blues. Everything you are has been conditioned by the culture and the structure that you live in. Nothing is biological, the earth is flat and there ain't no sun. Postmodern Blues. The real news looks like a parody, the parodies look like the real thing. Sense means nothing, nothing makes sense. Still you gotta try to make sense of it. Postmodern blues. All the younger people are getting woke. All the younger people are getting dope. All the younger people are getting broke. All the younger people are getting post... modern blues. Layback culture got you back to far. Better come forward find out who you are. Because if you don't do it no on else will. The time is now and there's none to kill. Post modern blues. Are you confused yet? If you are not yet confused then you don't know enough. Sometimes I think I know too much and that's why I got those Postmodern Blues. Are you confused yet? If you are not yet confused then you don't know enough. Sometimes I think I know too much and that still don't seem to be enough. You can't say faggot, shit or fuck. You can't can't call me a cunt even if I'm one. But what if it's in the right context at the correct timing in the correct place? Postmodern Blues. Sacred plants bein abused, charlatans on their pursuits. The Buddha's teachings commodified, liberation has it's price. Postmodern Blues. If all are the victim then who's to blame? The baby boomers or melinnials? The Z generation or the corporation? Either way we're all in the thick of this shit. Postmodern Blues.

Got to be careful what you say these days cause it's easy to get in trouble. Honesty is the surest way to get fired from your job. Got to be careful what you say these days and if it's said in public. Rest assured what's coming your way is a letter from the mob. No where to hide, cause they're coming for ya. Just a matter of time, they'll have your name. Up in lights, so it's easy to stone ya. When the worlds on fire, call the woke brigade. Got to be brave and you got to be strong and not rest on your laurels. People are generally too sensitive and reactive these days. All of this probably stems from the roots of early childhood trauma. Gone are the days when you could move on from all your past mistakes. Now there's nowhere to hide, cause they're coming for ya. Just a matter of time they'll have you shamed. Through the night, and from the mornin'. When the world's on fire, call the woke bridgade. If you've got a different point of view and a substantial following. They'll silence you and if that don't work in a second they'll have you killed. Wouldn't be the first but it better be the last cause the cult's gaining momentum. Big tech, big tech, big tech ban the man that gets in your way. No where to hide, cause they're coming for ya. Just a matter of time, they'll have your name. Cast aside, and buried with a shovel. When the world's on fire, call the woke brigade. No end in sight, to all this trouble. No silent mind, just busy brain. If you're getting signs, had best to follow. When the worlds on fire, call the woke brigade.

Everyone grows old and dies. Don't be alarmed and don't be surprised, everyone grows old and dies.

Mara's my bitch Buddha my nature Ego the glitch Condition the maker Dharma's the way Love is my failure Dukkha the birth, sickness, death, unsatisfied ager. And coconut's the shit I'm never going back to olive oil. Tara's my Queen Uisneach my lawyer My ancestor's were kings 'til the English took over. Maeve is my mother Bury me with her Or scatter my ashes across the Atlantic after the fire. Mary's my aunt Bob is my uncle Paganism my philosophy As well as my culture. The earth is my church The sky is my temple Things are complicated that's why I've been lately keeping it simply. Life is a trip God is a loner Time is a switch that never turns off and was turned on my no one. Faith is a leap Courage necessary To face this poor world's inevitable pain, horror and suffering. Truth is my crime. Freedom my sin. Expression confession and to tell you truth I'd express it again. Women my my weakness. Mushroom my friend. I'll tell you no lie I'm high as a kite and I've taken nothin'.

Google Knows 03:27
Google knows I'm lonely. Google knows I'm scared. Google knows I'm seeking. Truth I wont find there. Google knows I'm healing. Google recommends. Things it knows I'm in to. Integral wisdom. Google knows I need it. Google doesn't mind. Google knows if it weren't round, I'd still pass the time. Google knows I'm hungry For the spiritual Can't tell if there's more to it Or if it's just an algorythm. Google know everything. And it's all on click away. Any topic that you want Letters A-Z. Google knows I'm longing. Google knows my type. Google's like a druid. Google reads my mind. Googe knows I just bought brand new eye glasses. I know that Google knows because of the advertisements. Google knows my diet. Google knows my drink. Google knows I'm tired Google help me sleep. Google knows my weakness Google knows my strenghts. Google knows at the end of the day that there's no different. Google knows where I've been My location too. Google knows when it's raining And when the sky is blue. Google knows all my friends My relations too Thought I rarely see them I can keep in touch on you. Google knows my struggles. My predicament As much as Google knows though it can not do this.

I'll never get to go to California I'll never get to see the beach boys live. I'll never smoke a joint in San Fransico cause the golden state's on fire. I'll never get to go to California. And see the place where all of this began. The psychadelic renessaince has tripped itself into a dump The government are probably to blame. I'll never get to go to California I've always wanted to but now I can't. The empire is falling, where is super and batman when you need them? I'll never get to go to California And see the cool kids hanging by the bay. Joe Rogan's moved to Texas. Ben Shapiro's gone to Nashville. Only the poor people can afford to stay. I'll never get to go to California And surf upon those waves and stay afloat If current trends continue Arizona will be the pacific coast. I'll never get to go to California The liberals have become communists. They are not what they say they are, under those California stars. They have become what they were once against. I'll never get to go to California The state's seen better days and so have I. There was a time when times they were a changin' but now all we do is whine. I'll never get to to go California. besides I probably can't afford the flight. If things boil down I'll take a ship then walk across the bible belt. To see if it lives up to all the hype.

Nowhere's safe to be no more the wall's are closing in. Make your plans for tomorrow but leave it where it is. Priorotize your shelter, store away a first aid kit. Can never be too careful. It's good to be prepared. One foot in the real world. Another on the hills. Nowhere's safe to be no more the days are growing dim. Through down your agenda, pick up a conversation. Open ended never ending spiral chattering. Without fear of judgement. Without censorship. You know some thing I don't. If you're right we both win. No where's safe to be no more the night is dark and frail. Someone told me once don't try because to try might fail. Go ahead just do it, define your own success. No one's on their way to. Save your from yourself. Only you can do that. Ain't that fucking swell? Nowhere's safe to be no more the wind is wild & still. Pharmacies have got your mind, television brain. Paddy's got your money, the banks have got your house. Facebook's got your story. Tell it how it is. Part the picture only. Is what's presented. Nowhere's safe to be no more except your centred soul. What Jung described as wholeness Buddha phrased liberation. Christ and his salvation how could all of them be wrong? Something must be in there. Something great and strong. Something so significant. It brings hope to this song. It brings hope to this hopeless song.

Life goes on forever my bodies gonna rot. If truth is what you're saying I hope you don't get shot. Via bullets of the masses guns of ignorance. They're aimin' at your mind but you've got your own defenses. From the bombs that they drop on all humanity. Maniuplated messages intended to decieve and trouble. The vast majority of the population with your TV. Life goes on forever there's no where to be list. If love is your posession you never will get robbed for the more that you lack the more that's needed the more you medicate it the worse it seems to get. From the pills that they pop, they're never gonna ease. It's a lack of education that's causin' the disease And for all them, there is a remedy. Nature is the answer but suppressed by the indutry. You can fool some people, but you can't fool me. I'm climbing out of the hole that I dug. Coming up to the top of the world, where I can see. Life goes on forever it's a force that never stops If truth is your religion why do ya need a God? Either way if there's a heaven or a hell You've got everything that you need within yourself. And with the senses unlocked there'll be no poverty There will only be abundance cause we'll take the energy From all those who control economies But they can come in too because it's for everybody. Life goes on forever the light is in your heart. Your mind is manifestin what you think about a lot. Either way it's up to you what you create If you're chosin' love you'll have it otherwise you're chosin' hate It's the cravin' that blocks you from eternity You're already enlightened all you have to do it see. With eyes closed, breathe in and you'll be free. Breathe out and keep it flowin' to experience your chi. Life goes on forever you can find it in my shop. If now is what you're buyin' I'm sellin' round the block. Either way if you've got money or you don't It really doesn't matter cause it's free for you to own It's the binding that knots the outside and the in There's no external space and there's no place you haven't been So travel wherever you may please But understand along the way that everywhere you be. Life goes on forever we're floating on a rock. The ocean is a puddle the sun is pretty hot. Either way, if there's a cloud over the sky There is no need to worry for it's only passing by. If the lightning that shocks the thunders roar sayin'... Even though I scare ya I just wanna be your friend. For without me you never would survive. It's the balance of the weather that's keeping us alive. Life goes on forever even though it is profound. It's simple and effective and it keeps on going round Either way, whether you like it or you don't The spaceships are coming from a nearby neihgbourhood It's the circles that crop the mathematic sign. Although they keep it quiet it's the ratio of phi So look up they're only saying hi Put the kettle on and then invite them in for chai Life goes on forever there's no such thing as death Division is illusion there's only the true self And we're made of the stuff that's shining in the night When you fight somebody it's yourself you really fight It's no wonder though cannot comprehend The wonders of creation no beginning and no end So let go no need to afraid It has been said before but now I'm saying it again.
