Alright listen up.
Now some of you people listening to this may be too cool to be moved by anything that you see or hear in the world today. You may think you're too clever or too hard to be taken for a ride or have your weaknesses exposed. You may feel you have to be at least one step ahead of everyone else in order to demonstrate that you're not a sheep or a fool. So you play games to hide those parts of yourself that you feel are vulnerable or worthless. I'm talking about you journos, you anti-vaxxers, you hard men. Well I'm not that kind. You see, I'm naked.
I came into this world naked and I'll go out stripped of all my pretensions, so while I'm alive I'll not perpetrate those mind games that just fuck up everyone who comes across them. What you see is what I am; hurt me and I'll cry, love me and I'll rejoice. I'm completely transparent, exposed, naked.
I see a hard man walking down the street Iike a killer and I know what he's fighting for - to be baby naked. I see a proud woman deny her true feelings for a man and I know what her secret desire is for - to strip naked. I see a politician on the TV hungry for power and I know what his lust is for - to be seen by millions naked.
Ah, what’s that? Naked.
Alright, I want everyone to join in now, and I don’t mean clap your hands or sing along - I mean naked. I want everyone out there to start taking off their clothes. You don’t need to be embarrassed. We’re all friends here. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours. There’s nothing to be afraid of. We can feel clean and we can feel pure and we can be sure that there’s more to life than a body. Be naked and be free. We can join together and walk the streets naked. And we can look upon our bodies and feel no shame. We can be children again, like little children, pure and innocent. Give up your games, your clothes. Give up. Be naked.
Who’ll be the first to take off their clothes?

Go With Him

Go with him
If love’s jealousies are unsatisfied
Go with him
If you think he pleases you more than I
Go with him
And kiss the feet of a total stranger
Go with him
If you think you can tear any unfair advantage from his glad submission
Go with him
With poison in your spleen and vipers in your breast
Go with him
And let maddening tongues of fire lick my vitals
Go with him
My wretched darling, my jealous pet, my lovely succubus
Go with him
And destroy in a moment what took lifetimes to build
Go with him
And pour the smoking cankers of your invective over his fatuous mistakes
Go with him
Go to the anvil of your crushing hate, and in the fierce heat of infidelity smash to pieces your diseased and violent passions for me
Go with him
And I will exult in my new powers over death
Go with him
And let demonic forces finally mate
Go with him
And the blinding magnesium fire of pain will kiss your burning cheeks
Go with him
And touch the raw nerve of exquisite longing
Go with him
And fuse the glowing quivering terminals of desire
Go with him
And burn out the twisted, spitting, crackling wires of life
Go with him
And bring to dust my marble erections
Go with him
I defy you

Walking To The Gallows

Walking to the Gallows
The hangman gives a smile
Such beauty for a young boy
“Now come, Juvenile!”
Too soon my life is over
never will I waste the wine
Some call it misfortune
But it’s there by design
A knitting lady sings songs
Ditties about Strange fruit
Her husband was a sailor
Played jew’s harp and a flute
I admit I wasn’t legit
I stole what I couldn’t grow
I had to fight to get a life
And the ghetto was my foe
Call me a witness
tell them how it is
“Poor men catch a wild goose
a rich man says it’s his”
Walking to the gallows
A preacher he did swear
Love is not the answer
A broken boy will not repair
I’ve seen this scene repeated
When I was a growing child
Listened to the whiplash cracking
Of many a neck gone wild
“Is this wrong or is it right?”
Asks my judge from below
Animals in iron cages scream back
“You’re supposed to know!”
Informers watch spectators
searching for my friends
The hangman throws a lever
And that’s how my story ends
Walking to the Gallows
The hangman gives a smile
Such beauty for a young boy
“Now come, Juvenile!”

Put Your Phones Away

Put away your phones
The ceremony is about to begin and not paying attention will be a sin.
Put away your phones
This performance is not uploadable nor reloadable for the inconsolable who did not attend.
Put away your phones
Your insta post will in an instant change nothing, at most it will be host to ghosts hidden inside a coffin.
Put away your phones
The picture of your meal does not conceal the fact it feeds me nothing. The picture of your face does not embrace my search for me me me meaning.
If you choose YouTube and confuse the news with the sponsor’s message, you lose.
Put away your phones
The stories are false, the joy is fake – awake to the fact your life is not a mistake
Put your phones away
And stand in line with an open mind - watch the world go by, you never know what you might find.
Put your phones away
You’re Chasing dragons to boost your score – but the games rigged to make you play more and more and more
Put away your phones
The parasite is writhing in your hand, biting the fingers that execute the commands
Put away your phones,
What’s in your palm is a grenade created by spies. It blows shrapnel into your ears and eyes and then you’re crippled for life by hatred and lies.
Put away your phones
This weapon has disarmed you, emasculated you, imprisoned you, cut you, reshaped you, shamed you, disavowed you, groomed you, fucked you, abused you, made you weep – and now it’s your only friend that wants to meet.

Profit & Loss
06:14

The world lives by profit and loss. Let me tell you what happens when the world lives by profit and loss. Unscrupulous and greedy people are driven to make as much money as quickly and easily as possible. The worst possible people with the worst possible motives are encouraged to command the levers of power. Governments and corporations are controlled by the worst of the psychopaths. They sanction the wholesale destruction of the World's natural resources for the short-term benefit of their profits. What they're leaving behind for future generations is a legacy of their excrement. What the current generation has to live with is the stockpiling of the excrement on the commons. Rivers of pollution flow through the heart of society. We wallow in our own filth. Such pernicious greed will inevitably and inexorably devour its own genitals - and where is the profit in that?
In the meantime, the poor fisherman and peasants of this world pay for the luxuries of the greedy. They lose what little they have in an effort to satisfy the insatiable appetite of the morbidly obese. Why do the greedy need so much when there is no profit and loss in being a human being? When there is no profit and loss in love? When there is no profit and loss on a dead planet? When there is no profit and loss - there’s only life. And the only thing the greedy really need is to liberate themselves from the bondage of profit and loss. It’s a collective madness driving the train of humanity off the rails and into the abyss. It’s a disease of poverty; the poverty of imagination to create something better. A disease of greed. We need to eradicate it. Maybe then we’ll understand what true wealth, true power, really means.

Monoculture Future
05:50

Here comes your future
Any colour, any colour - but not black
Here comes your future
Any colour, any colour - but not black
The creeping zombie of monoculture will invade your town
It will crawl into your bed, eat your brains right out of your head
Fill your dreams with tailored adverts broken only by celebrity news alerts
It’s the monoculture Future baby, It’s the monoculture Future
Yeah, It’s here today, there tomorrow, there’s no escape you can only follow
The West is the best monoculture, no need to try the rest,
Don’t matter if they come as guests.
We’ll eat them anyway, we’ll process them: take out the spice, add the fat and sugar
make them Disney nice. We’ll package them, ship them, all in a fast way,
So you can eat them and eat and eat them and eat them
All in one day
It’s the monoculture Future baby and it’s coming your way
The monoculture future is all-singing all-dancing
Even though you might think the song sounds similar
And the dancing looks familiar, we’ve put ‘new’ on the label
So there’s no denying what you’re buying is hot off the press
It’s the monoculture Future baby. It’s the monoculture Future, okay.
Go anywhere and I’ll be there - The monoculture future baby
Doesn’t matter where you shop or go for a weekend stop
You’ll feel right at home with the monoculture syndrome
It casts its spell, the one from hell, so we can all share the glare and razzledazzle of its beauty
Have you heard? We came, we saw, we concurred
Post it online, tell em you’re having a great time
with the monoculture Future baby, the monoculture Future
Repeat after me: It’s the future baby, the monoculture Future
It’s the future baby, the monoculture Future
Monoculture future
The empire of monoculture
The creeping sleep of monoculture
The creeping death of monoculture
The creeping mesmerism of monoculture
