Midnight Run 03:59
if we have had enough we don't have to tow their line what matters most is us and how we want to spend our time we could start again it doesn't matter where we are in a new town we can be anyone we want we could leave tonight we could make a midnight run we'd be far away before anybody knows we're gone but keep it to yourself don't spread it like a forest fire keep it on the down low i'll reach you on the calling wire i don't want their jokes i don't want them judging me and if we were to stay we could never find the time to leave if they found us out would they punish you or me this time i don't wanna live anywhere they say ideas are crimes but keep that to yourself don't spread it like a forest fire keep it on the down low i'll reach you on the calling wire anywhere we are we could build a house of love no matter what we've got with each other we will have enough we could swear an oath we could make a lifelong pact to keep each other close and i don't need a god for that i won't keep it to myself i will spread it like a forest fire tell everybody else i will tell them 'til my blood runs dry i won't keep it to myself i will spread it like a forest fire tell everybody else i will tell them 'til my blood runs dry yeah

Hue And Cry 03:54
So it'll start with a story in a paper Not of much significance Maybe read it later Then all the cover up stuff begins With the person in the middle trying to keep themselves hidden See a super injunction Only serves the function Of whipping the media into a frenzy or something Then a real danger of innocent lives Getting tarred and feathered By misinformed minds So it'll turn out the story of another celeb Caught doing someone They shouldn't in bed Maybe success has gone to their head Or maybe we should look at ourselves instead But I know a bit about the way the world works So I think that I can change it but I'm nervous Can I steer myself on a true course for it Or is it rarer than rocking horse shit So... You must make a sound Make it known says I You must drag them down You must hue and cry We could all take up arms A witch hunt says I Across cities and farms Hear us hue and cry Just cause they're famous don't mean we own them Like new red button controls only control them Highlighting all their latest mistakes As if we could do any better if we were in their place So most of the tabloids are mired in dirt Phone taps and kickbacks a bung in your shirt With ninety odd pages to tell us what's up It's full of bullshit and I've had enough I wanted to read about Westminster Not who's banging the Olsen sisters Or the latest affair slash drunken fumble Or what bunch of losers are jetting into the jungle But i used to know about the way the world works And I wanna try and change it with a purpose But there's always someone wants to be first And half cocked we all end up worse So... You must make a sound Make it known says I You must drag them down You must hue and cry We could all take up arms A witch hunt says I Across cities and farms Hear us hue and cry You see I thought I really knew the way the world works And I only just heard of the birthers Who said that a certificate was worthless And caused another media circus So... You must make a sound Make it known says I You must drag them down You must hue and cry We could all take up arms A witch hunt says I Across cities and farms Hear us hue and cry

Hi I'm religion I'm old n I'm wise I have all the answers that you crave inside I can even offer you a nice surprise Like how about a heaven and an afterlife I can give the world to you a paradise I can make complexities like eyes I can make a beetle with a spray device And I can make you people believe my lies But wait now and listen There are some conditions I rule and You must never doubt my position Not once or ever Cause I control the weather So I can make it rain from now until forever Oh no I'm not a bully It's just that your below me And we can't have the plebs in control now can we You see I know what's best So you're at my behest And pay attention please Cause there is gonna be a test It's one of faith and the faith that you place In me and my ability to lead your race Turn your leaders to preachers Who hold my belief that I can still do it if I can't keep the peace Ill develop some factions They may be reactions to how you are following Some of my instructions There will be no asking of questions Except when you ask me for things in the form of a prayer And there is where I'll leave you on your own now Hi I'm science, I'm fairly new And I don't have all the answers for you Well not yet, but there's reasonable doubt That if I work hard I can try and find them out I also have texts that are made up by you Within them I also have flexible rules I try my best not to tell you what to do It's about working out what you know is true I never have anger or scorn for you But even in me are things you shouldn't do H bombs poison carbon pollutes But I leave the judgement to you It's not all bad there's fun you can have Like putting little sweets in a pop bottle bang Plus I keep your house warm keep the lights on Keep your food cold so go and stick the kettle on The planet we're on is fascinating I almost don't know where to begin If you get drunk enough you can feel the earth spin Although that might be an inner ear thing Oh yeah did I mention there's also drugs And some of it is really crazy stuff And if it don't make sense it may do in time Just have a bit of water and you'll be just fine But on the whole I'm a whole lot deeper I can make your food bills a whole lot cheaper I can see children now past eighteen Where they would've died before without vaccines As the best of me gets stronger People will live for longer and prosper Beyond your years there'll still be tears I can't yet take away all of your fears So so press on says science There may be unintended consequence But without knowledge We're left in darkness With only our limited sense to guide us What if I get closer and closer To knowing it all but never go over For knowing it all there's none to discover No little facts still left to uncover Then nothing to do but get lazy and fat And no longer will people even care about facts The mind will react And I'll get attacked As if it was science that caused your collapse

If I had a lot of money I'd buy a big house and swimming pool and I'd invite you too If I had a lot of money I would not buy a car unless it came with a chauffeur too If I had a lot of money I'd pay a lot of tax If I had a lot of money I'd pay for everything in cash If I had a lot of money I'd retire now and never look back Oh we could've had some fun We could stay 'til the job is done We could party 'til the morning come Oh we could've had some fun If I had a lot of power I'd know that with it comes a great responsibility If I had a lot of power I'd make the BNP stand for Be Nice to People only If I had a lot of power I'd have a lot to lend If I had a lot of power I'd make everyday the weekend If I had a lot of power I'd still find a way to mess it all up in the end Oh we could've had some fun We could stay 'til the job is done We could party 'til the morning come Oh we could've had some fun If I had a lot of time more than I could ever need or ever use If I had a lot of time I could give some back to people who do not If I had a lot of time I'd sow a lot of seeds If I had a lot of time I'd smoke a lot of weed If I had a lot of time I still wouldn't see everything I'd wanted to see Oh we could've had some fun We could stay 'til the job is done We could party 'til the morning come Oh we could've had some fun But I have a lot of friends so there's always a sofa to sleep on And cause I have a lot of friends there will always be a shoulder for me to lean on Now some of these friends they make a lot of noise And all of these friends both the girls and the boys They all can depend on this single truth That's that we all are we all are Oh we're all gonna have some fun We're gonna stay 'til the job is done And we will party 'til we see the sun Oh we're gonna have some fun

Everybody's gonna have their own problems You and we were just the same I didn't think it'd really work out this way People said we were good together All our friends were happy for us I only wish we'd have ended a better way Maybe I Made you cry For all those times When I felt so messed up I did not know what to do I didn't like to see you angry Though I could've done more for you Now you can as you please What was mine was once yours forever Could've been spectacular I guess now its six and two threes Maybe I Made you cry For all those times When I felt so messed up I did not know what to do And maybe you Hurt me too But it's what we do From here that counts to whether we make up or not Sittin on the ash of emotion Glory days are truly gone Never knew really how much was at stake Maybe I Made you cry For all those times When I felt so messed up I did not know what to do And maybe you Hurt me too But it's what we do From here that counts to whether we make up or not Will we make up or not

I would like to discover A new way to be A world like no other Where we can be free I fail to recall how it got so messed up Was it on purpose Or just my dumb luck Why'd we have to keep secrets Keep a chain round the past Why'd we have to discover The biggest lies last Why do I still remember How we burned and crashed And I left it too late, to reciprocate But I'd still take you back And I have a theory Yeah I have a view I have some pet hates And I know you do too Like thinking too deeply About the future of us Or treating you cheaply Shoulda made more of a fuss But why'd we have to spread rumours About our hates and our fears Kind of thing will destroy us Eats away at the years Why did we ever fight so Why'd we go on attack And I want to escape, but it may be too late Why can't we just go back I could build a machine So we could all start again And I could stay or could leave But I guess that all would depend On if you would have me In one time or not I'd ask if you missed me Or if you forgot So why'd we have to keep jumping Through our space and time Why'd we have to revisit All of your faults and mine Can I not just tell you All the lessons I learned And it's only because, I want you to love That I won't return I won't return

To Dust 05:35
Suicide bombers that the news transmits None of this'll matter when the meteor hits Garden parties and fancy hats The browns kill the whites and the whites kill the blacks Propaganda and racist prose None of this'll matter once Yellowstone blows The race for oil or the race for life Will be inconsequential when ET arrives Down here is where I'll live and die People watch the passers by Shake a hand or make a fist It doesn't get realer that's this Take stock of all the ups and downs Play you all my stupid sounds Work and rest and make a date To love and hate and propagate Tracing ourselves in the family tree Won't mean much come world war three YouTube hits and Facebook friends One day the bacteria will take over again Holy war and holy verse Wont save us when the weather gets worse I wish we'd take a longer view To keep our species pushing through Down here is where I'll live and die People watch the passers by Shake a hand or make a fist It doesn't get realer that's this Take stock of all the ups and downs Play you all my stupid sounds Work and rest and make a date To love and hate and procreate I know I'm not alone, no I'm not alone And oh, if I only could, wouldn't it be nice To live in an atheist paradise Cause down here is where it all goes on The earth to which we all belong We'll fight over a scrap of land Or scrap of text I don't understand This earth is where I call my home And millions more have come and gone And I will be just one of them Almost too much to comprehend There could be more out there in space But far away in a distant place For now we have this ball of stone Upon which our whole world revolves It all will be consumed by rot So use the time that you have got Be sad to go but if I must Cause all of us return to dust
