Abrupt 00:26
Sudden shock! Abrupt like a cop car on a quiet dark back road, when you’re drinking hard liquor and you’re holding an ounce load. Abrupt! Abrupt! Abrupt! Shocking!
2.
Goodbye 00:33
Where do we go? Who knows. There’s many theories, and if you think you’ve got the answer then you’re probably wrong. Don’t cry, when it’s my time and I die, just say goodbye. Don’t cry, when it’s my time and I die, just say goodbye.

The Virus 01:20
I’m a bird flying high above the world, watching the virus filling up the earth. Now I just want to shit on you, I just want to shit on you. Humans are the sickness of this planet, now it’s my job to defecate on all; and I just want to shit on you, I just want to shit on you. There used to be trees, now ugly cars and roads as far as eye can see. And I just want to shit on you, I just want to shit on you. Humans are the sickness of this planet, and it’s my job to defecate on all; now I just want to shit on you, I just want to shit on you. I just want to shit on you! I just want to shit on you!

Hold your head up but keep it down. Keep your back straight but be sure to put it into it. Don’t watch the time but earn the hours. You gave it all away, we’re watching someone else get paid. We’re getting older, we can’t go selling too much time away. Won’t sell this story to a boss along with my authority; my time costs more than anything you can afford. Don’t let your arms get sore, keep from getting sick. Buy lots of food, you’re gonna need the energy. Hold your head up but keep it down. Keep your back straight but be sure to put it into it. We’re getting older, we can’t go selling too much time away. Won’t sell this story to a boss along with my authority; my time costs more than anything you can afford.

Reckless times, getting by, affording gas, and getting high. When we were 18 we were drinking in the park, we drank from lunchtime until it got dark. We’d only just got our IDs, we were fucking proud of that, we had no ties or hold ups but we had plenty of booze and hash. Reckless times, getting by, affording gas, and getting high. Though we got through, it wasn’t easy living that life. We had just left school, they said we’re outta line, that we should really look for jobs but we said we’ll be just fine. We can’t be part of your dreary, slow routine; when you were brought up you were stripped of all your dreams. Reckless times (they’re reckless), getting by (we’re getting by), affording gas (just barely), and getting high!

Insanitised 03:13
Blue gloves, white walls, steel cap gum-boots. Don’t touch the floors, don’t eat the food! High pressure hose, no windows, keep clean and leave your shit at home! I’m working overtime to leave my bills behind, but now I live inside and I don’t have a life. Now I feel I’ve been insanitised. Short break; still work, back through foot-baths. Distract yourself and produce the food! Fit in with drones, rich CEOs. Keep calm and slave your time away! I’m doing time! I’m doing time! I’m doing time; in the coffee line. I’m working overtime to leave my bills behind, but now I live inside and I don’t have a life. Now I feel I’ve been insanitised.

Stand Up 02:51
With nothing nice to say we shouldn’t speak at all. Separated by the sea, you’re in a different world. Don’t slap me with the rule book, your busy, silent treason; that’s the one I’ve read the small print, I know better than you the reason. Oh I know you’re smart, I remember well your intelligence. As clever as you are, you’re blinded by governments. Here outside the box the truth ain’t hard to see. You just don’t want to wake up, are you happy in their dreams? I never want to be a part; do you wanna die in debt? I never want to be a part; ten kids and cause pollution. I never want to be a part; is it ok to let the homeless starve? I never want to be a part; fire this gun to help your nation. You think you don’t got a choice where you come from, well ain’t it lucky that you do and you’re wrong. I’ll do whatever I want and I’ll succeed, so fuck authority, ‘cause I am free. So go ahead and laugh while thousands out there die, tell me I haven’t grown up and you swallow back their lies. Your opinions don’t mean much, I’m glad not to be you, for a better world I stand up; it’s what everyone should do! I never want to be a part; do you wanna die in debt? I never want to be a part; ten kids and cause pollution. I never want to be a part; is it ok to let the homeless starve? I never want to be a part; fire this gun to help your nation. You think you don’t got a choice where you come from, well ain’t it lucky that you do and you’re wrong. I’ll do whatever I want and I’ll succeed, so fuck authority, ‘cause I am free!

Nobody wants to act on the fact the world’s about to end. Oil retail sell us out and blame it on demand. Launching bombs on people at disposal of their command, burning fuel and burning people ‘til there’s nothing left. Trigger-happy leaders with a button at their fingers in power. The doomsday clock ticks ever closer to our final hour. Some people have decided to take a dive from Trump’s tower. Our fiery bed is laid and the time to die in it is now!
