Nuclear Funk

So, here we go,  again.

Defining the prolific tranquility of my fellow men

Reproducing the rhythmic reflection like a Godsend.

We'll run along this tightrope until the world spins

And by the end of the night we'll slip right out of our skin.

Blasting the brainwaves like a fully automatic bass,

Kamikaze wasteland, humans waste, self-destruct without a trace

Just give these DJs a little space so they can give you a better taste!

And don't let us argue semantics so we can find the truth encased

In the back of the skull, underfed and oversold.

Truth be told, no one would like to feel that cold...

And you can deny it all until you crack and you fold,

But you know that by now you would have lost your soul!

Scandalous heresy mission, I'll describe the world I've envisioned

No carbon emissions, because there are no more cars to sit in

No more music, because there is nobody to listen

No more prison, because there are no buildings to live in

Until we've built it ourselves, and then we excel.

Civilization rebuilding itself right out of a living hell,

Like a phoenix, in a nutshell, and not a soul will tell

The truth about the world before the acid rains fell.

 

The world spins on a tilted axis of evil,

Over-trusted in the hands of incompetent people,

Lazily ignored by all the church and the steeples

Taking the arms of the weak and the feeble.

The rest of us wait until the bombs begin falling.

We no longer care, and frankly, God's stalling.

The end of the world is constantly calling.

No more of the bodies all twisted and sprawling.

 

I sever my hand to prove that I can still use my eyes;

You'll understand when you begin to open your mind

And if you really don't want me to do this, just give me a sign,

Maybe I'll do it anyway to disprove your design.

I'm losing time, someone come along and feed me a line.

Sever my spine, open my jaws wide, skin off my eyelids,

Why? The truth is inside these pockets of lies

And you can find it in the sockets of my eyes, it's fine.

As long as you can understand why the smog

Becomes a distant cousin to fog and road-hogs

Morph into another distraction from the absence of birds,

And why roads replace the forests until they no longer work.

The cities will be made of buckets and cans and bags of sand,

And supply and demand will win out over the prehistoric plans

To re-instill the aristocratic mastery monopoly pills

Produced from the radiated depths deep within the hills.

Buildings from old bits of iron and sheet metal pieces,

Our voices on intercoms to rid the world of its diseases,

And finally ignorance will not attempt to sway or displease us

And the love of the people will reflect that of Jesus!

 

The world spins on a tilted axis of evil

Over-trusted in the hands of incompetent people

Lazily ignored by all the church and the steeples

Taking the arms of the weak and the feeble

The rest of us wait until the bombs begin falling

We no longer care, and frankly, God's stalling

The end of the world is constantly calling

No more of the bodies all twisted and sprawling
