It's a long story, where should I begin?
I can't even remember when I started remembering.
It's a long story, where should I begin?
I don't have enough time to tell the whole damn thing.
I see a lot of myself in you.
It's a long story, where should I begin?
I can't even remember when I started remembering.
It's a long story, where should I begin?
I don't have enough time to make it to the end.

One Man Be In

Everybody's glad to have their freedoms back.
I am still cocooning for the craic.
It's different when you do it through your own free will.
As opposed to being told to by the government.
You pushed me to the limit of my limitation.
The lockdown ruined my be in but I'm back again.
One man be in.
Everybody's going out, I'm going in.
Couldn't give a fuck about clubbin'.
Everyone will be sick in the morning.
I'll be sitting home doin' zazen.
You really fuckin' got to me I can't pretend.
The lockdown ruined my be in but I'm back again.
One man be in.
Everybody's busy with their schedulin'.
Running and a'racin' just to wind up dead.
I don't know how they do it, let alone live.
I'll take a 2 day work week just to pay the bills.
I've got nothing planned so nothing to cancel.
The lockdown ruined my be in but I'm back again.
One man be in.
You pushed me to the limit of my limitation.
The lockdown ruined my be in but I'm back again.
One man be in.

Society thinks I'm strange that's why I'm normal.
Society thinks I'm poor that's why I'm rich.
Society thinks I'm pale that's why I'm purple.
Society tried me on but I don't fit.
Society thinks I'm stuff that's why I'm spirit.
Society thinks I'm sad that's why I smile.
Society thinks I'm messed up and I'm troubled.
Cause I don't think like them and why would I?
Society thinks I'm mad that's why I am sane.
Society thinks I'm wrong but I don't mind.
Society wants to sacrifice the self for it's gain.
But I refuse to step in to it's line.
Society thinks I'm fucked that's why I am fine.
Society thinks I'm broke that's why I'm fixed.
Society thinks I'm lazy 'cause I do things my own way.
In my own time and at my own speed.
Society thinks I'm alone but I'm in solitude.
Society thinks I'm stoned but I am high.
Society is a reflection of what goes on inside,
that's why society doesn't look quite right.
Society times 5 or 6 I can't remember.

I'll love you unconditionally, as long as you don't do nothing to me.
I'll love you unconditionally, even if it sounds a bit new agey.
'Cause there's so much, so much going on.
I don't know what's what, and what's not what.
I'll love you unconditionally, as long as you don't hurt my family.
I'll love you unconditionally, even if it's not currently trending.
I'll love you unconditionally, as long as you don't invade my country.
I'll love you unconditionally, even if you think I'm a Jesus freak.
'Cause everything is moving so fast.
And everything is breaking like glass.
And the way we have been living can't last.
Hard to forgive in the middle of the act.

The World I Know So Well
04:22

I can hold the whole damn planet in the center if my mind.
Collect all the data 'bout the state of humankind.
Turn mayhem in to melody and water in to wine.
But I feel so very distant from the world of which I rhyme.
I can gather all the pieces, and complete the puzzle.
Paint a pretty picture 'bout our dissent in to hell.
Turn experience to elegance and seen to expression.
But I feel so very separate from the world I know so well.
I can sum it up with lyrics, and round it off with words.
Spend all day with mother muse and jot down what I've heard.
Turn motion in to music and misery to love.
But I feel so very cut off from the place I do speak of.
It's the end of the world as we know, and I feel traumatized.
It's the end of the world as know we it, and I feel so far behind.

The things I do for peanut butter.
Peanut butter and sugar.
Raw cane, flowing through my brain.
A tiny little shot of cocaine!

My songs aren't supposed to be funny, in fact they are quite serious.
We're heading for digital money, and implanted brain microchips.
My songs aren't supposed to be funny, they're crazy and I'm obsessive.
It wasn't really my intention, but they seem to be doing the trick.
My songs aren't supposed to be funny, it's just the way it comes out.
I'm not really very light hearted, and I am no colorful clown.
My songs aren't supposed to be funny, they're so deep they cannot be found.
I could never have predicted this outcome, but you seem to be laughing out loud.
My songs aren't supposed to be funny, they're all about what could go wrong.
And you really think that that's funny, we'll see what you're like when it does.
My songs aren't supposed to be funny, they're dark and they're mean and they're sad.
I could never have seen it coming, but they seem to be hilarious.

Welcome to the Internet

Welcome to the internet, open up your mind.
We've got all philosophy, from beginning of time.
Welcome to the internet, find your little tribe.
Make sure you do chose wisely though, 'cause some will drive you wild.
Welcome to the internet, what ya need to know?
Type it in and click it, there you fucking go!
Welcome to the internet, the University.
All you needs a dongle, and electricity.
La la la la la la. La la la la la.
Welcome to the internet, take it very slow.
Easy to be over-whelmed by mental overload.
Welcome to the internet, you're in for a surprise.
Turn if off an hour before you go to sleep at night.
Welcome to the internet, don't sit their all day long.
Otherwise you will get sick and die, get out in the sun.
Welcome to the internet, watch out for Choronzon,
that devil's out to get your daughters and your sons.
