Shake the world by the ankles, get what you need If you need more, it won't be what you think Some change was unstable but it didn't fall neat You can chase it to the gutter, fish for seconds on your knees Until, Three jump one (x4) Face your opponent, turn your fist when you punch Punch with your body, it should feel like a lunge Googled on my lunch break in case I get a tough break You never know when you'll have to guard your face Three jump one (x4) Pray for an angel, adults still believe They've got an angle but they'll give you what you need Change was unstable so they coughed it up easy Lucky you, they give the backwash to the needy Shake the world by the ankles, get what you need Do whatever you think is necessary You can't turn the tables, they're bolted to the scene So square your shoulders and plant your feet You see, Three jump one (x3) Three jump motherfucking one, You coward

Gimme Nature 02:16
Fuck the founding fathers, give me nature Nature intends for you to step down You've got daggers in your composure No one survives with you around You're fucking killing me, you're killing me (x2) Pour one out for civilization Pour one out for the modern world Pour one out while you're waiting Say you're proud and watch me hurl Oh-wah-ah-ah-ah I'm quitting weed for the rest of the day That's right, I'm off the sauce When I find more things to smoke away, I think I'll get back on I'm fucking killing it, I'm killing it (x2) Pour one out for good intentions Pour one out for trying to cope Pour one out for the hypocrites, Who think they got one over Yet I still find myself wishing for things That's illegal in Texas Soon they will ban everything We only get rights if they let us Pour one out for civilization Pour one out for the modern world Pour one out while you're waiting You can flush it down and watch it swirl, For all I care Fuck it, Gimme nature (x4)

Ol' Reliable 02:31
A monster smashes buildings cause its parents were distant It's good entertainment butcha gotta live it You don’t wanna miss this, no, you don’t wanna miss this, man, no A cult leader leads his people singing while they’re still living They were busy this year so this is their Thanksgiving I’ve got a friend in Jesus, do you have a friend in Jesus? A news anchor breaks script wondering how it all happens Can’t we ever make mistakes we don’t wanna go back to? Everything is needless, everything’s so needless But a producer begs to differ, in fact he thanks god he has it He’d be living on the streets without your precious nightly habit Everyone’s gotta see this so everyone’s gonna see this Table this discussion, it’s getting out of hand If I’m sitting down it’s cause I don’t wanna stand You're on your own You're on your own A paramedic finds a cop to help them do their job, But then they’re left with more work than they’ve already got The cameras are leaving, the cameras are leaving If an ambulance sees you, it’ll do it’s best to stop But it wouldn’t want those chasing it to hit the back and drop How many are bleeding, how many are bleeding? Table this discussion, it’s getting out of hand If I’m on my feet it’s cause everybody ran You're on your own You're on your own, man

Post 03:47
You went back to proto now we're somewhere in the post Ride this bull down to earth, take your hat off as you choke A bullet in the air will hit the ground sooner or later If it finds you don't be asking me for favors Let me take your photo, I need it for my post You're the celebrity that we all love the most I wanna see carnage, fill the internet with gore Fill it with the shit waiting right outside your door Everything is pseudo, fake wherever you go How many people do you really think that you know? We've come a long way, yeah, such a long way Since we were at the surface at the start of the day Let's dig a hole! (x4) Don't forget to write down your business ideology, Write it in a placemat, and step on it entirely Cut it in half, slashing budgets, hedging bets Very proud of the albatross fixed around your neck You went back to proto now we're somewhere in the post Ride this bull down to earth, take your hat off as you choke A bullet in the air will hit the ground sooner or later When it finds you don't be looking for a savior I agree with rioting Mourn your property but I agree If you can't be without those things Then you're so much worse off than you think I agree with antifa If you're not antifascist then you can't be much So what? I'll move to Canada You're a baby back bitch and your borders are fucked Don't ask about my passport I'm a climate refugee I don't need a fuckin passport Y'all ain't got a bad fort Gotta hang with Trudeau but you do your own roadwork I agree with rioting It's a shame about words but they don't bring change Worse off than you fucking think If you don't like it, why did you agree? Huh?

Pennies for a paycheck, fuck you gonna do? (x4) Pennies for a paycheck, Fuck you gonna do? Come back later, They’ll work ya for another few Pennies for a paycheck, No they don’t work for you You know they don’t work anyone, Much less anybody new Pennies for a paycheck, fuck you gonna do? (x4) Pennies for a paycheck, They pity you for taxes Write that shit off, Proceed to move like molasses Pennies for a paycheck, Still thinking you can swing it? Cause heir pity has a waitlist, And you’re not even gonna see it Pennies for a paycheck, fuck you gonna do? (x4) I'm looking for work, will you hire me? I found work, will you fire me? It's been three weeks and I did my bit I did your thing and I kicked your shit Now I'm done until next month (x2) Pennies for a paycheck, fuck you gonna do? (x4)

Death Ray 04:04
Be ashamed, be very ashamed Look who's still got something to say You don't know shit and they keep it that way The death ray is out today Look who greets it with a face While it burns you alive for taking up space We should do this more often Put more nails in this coffin Keep it shut, no autopsy happens With no one to watch it They'll lower it softly Under the rug and six feet of concrete Be ashamed, be very ashamed Look who's still showing their face When you ask for trouble it comes your way The death ray is out today Looks like it's got something to say It's sick of watching the world take up space Negotiate nothing You had this shit coming So you thought armageddon would be fun, huh? You can vote for a blue one You can vote for a red one But either way, they're taking their guns, First chance they get Be ashamed, be very ashamed Look who's still got something to say You don't know shit and they keep it that way The death ray is out today Look who greets it with a face While it burns you alive for taking up space Be ashamed, be very ashamed Look who's still showing their face When you ask for trouble it comes your way The death ray is out today Looks like it's got something to say It's sick of watching its light go to waste

Bad Trip 00:29
I touched grass and it did jackshit You said you wanna go but you had a bad trip This is god, no one gets off Kick at a wall til someone says stop Take a bag for your head if you go outside If you can play dead then you’ll do just fine That’s just how you go down swinging When you’re outnumbered and no one’s winning Shit...fuck...ahhhhh
