Unman Me 02:19
lyrics
Banned by a pope cuz he was crazy But I have to confess it unsettles me It makes me think that something isn’t right And it keeps me awake at Night is when the demons come on out And they dance and they drum and they dribble and they shout And they trash as they laugh at all my plans And so they all Unman me Just when I think everything is all right They come on out and they dance all night Then they stand around my bed and stare And I’m rocking back and forth in Terror sits on my head and she shits Down my back and covers my ass with zits And I squirm like a worm and I try to stand But the fuckers they Unman me You're a chord that fell short of its potential Four or five would be fine but you fell in a hole You're a fool you're a tool and you're in our hand Say it: I am the one who Unmans me I am the one who unmans me I am the one who unmans me

Nothing To Me 04:05
lyrics
Who am I to tell you anything Nothing to me Nothing to me Yeah I'm still out here stumbling Nothing to me Nothing to me La la la la dee dee dee dee Whatever you say it’s nothing to me Keeping my head up is hurting my back Nothing to me Nothing to me Old man in the window who the fuck is that Nothing to me Nothing to me What are you looking at boy nothing here to see Whatever: you’re nothing to me Break it all down or add it up 1, 2 and 3 Whatever: it’s nothing to me Lost by the roadside or somewhere at sea Whatever you say it’s nothing to me Fodder for the fishes even fishes need to eat Whatever: it’s nothing to me La la la la dee dee dee dee Whatever you say it’s nothing to me Break it all down or add it up 1, 2 and 3 Whatever: it’s nothing to me

Lopsided 05:54
lyrics
Time to check in But she seems all right Is it in your DNA To meddle Time to fix her Something’s gotta be broken A worldwide viral strain To improve Play the strength Ignore the weakness And wonder why You are lopsided Time to help her Sure enough she’s fine Now your guard is down Exposed Make me nothing Show me the way Help me disappear In the grey Such depths to fathom Shivering foils of light and dark I’m thrashing around To find my way Stare me down Shut me up I got this You got this You spin around her And she spins around you Rank amateur Rank elegance

Nurdles 04:00
lyrics
The world is plastic All of us merely barristas With stir-sticks Popping bubbles The world is plastic And all us of Wearing respirators So we can breathe The world is plastic Nothing sweats anymore Squeaky and clean The world is plastic Where have all the flowers gone Let them eat plastic Let them eat plastic Let them eat plastic Let them eat plastic Little pellets taking seed Inside you inside me Little pellets taking seed Inside you inside me Let them eat plastic We can eat plastic

Satisfy The Ew 04:31
lyrics
Tell you about a specimen  Way out of my league Lovely and perfect and  You know just what I mean Every bell is going off  How bad I want to touch Every instinct in my monkey brain  Just wants to Wants to Wants to  Ew! To satisfy the ew To gratify the ew To justify the ew How badly I want to You'd never want a piece of this  Of course that's how you'd feel I probably smell like sleeping dog  Or something from a meal We'd have nothing to talk about  But talking ain't the plan The monkey brain the modern mind  The joys of being a man Ew! To satisfy the ew To gratify the ew How badly I want to

Cedars 02:36
lyrics
Go left go right And fade into the night Think big think small The building you are building is too tall Is it too tall Made to bloom Made to bleed And finally find myself falling fast asleep What to be and what to do It’s everything that I do for you I do for you The choices there to be made How do you know if it's the right one Dine with your friends Say goodbye Take the train home It’s the only way to fly Take your take Take your time The cat’s asleep and Everything is fine
