Don't Panic

Fell asleep
And I woke up in a nightmare
It's the end of the world, but you're not here
I feel your energy calling out to me
Though you've stayed so out of sight
You know it'd be a shame though
Not to smile beneath that mask
Emit the same glow
To illuminate the path through the dark
I don't shine as bright as you
Just as the sunlight poured down anew
Like the sun saw itself in you
Grimmalkin will mess you up
And cut you with her claws so long
So fuck humanity
I'd hate for this to be the way
The way the ship goes down
But cats are better than these human beings
These beings, they're growing out of seeds
They claim a mean linguine
Yet they skimp out on the cheese
"I've got a dream, a dream to be a porno queen
And MLK's dream just serves as a kinky porno scene"
Facing a world pandemic
Oh, who would stand to benefit?
A new world order where truth becomes irrelevant
You're so pa-
Yeah, you're so pathetic
Stay inside, wash your hands and just don't panic
Facing a world pandemic
The queue for those with eyes to see
A new world order where truth becomes the enemy
There's no con-
No, there's no containment
Stay inside, wash your hands and just don't panic
Fell asleep and I woke up in a nightmare
It's not the end of the world if you don't care
Keep looking back, where have the days gone now?
See, I ask myself the question
At these moments in my life
And will you be there to hold me
When I cross the Great Divide
Grimmalkin will mess you up
And cut you with her claws so long
So fuck humanity
I'd hate for this to be the way
The way the ship goes down
But cats are better than these human beings
These beings, they're growing out of seeds
They claim a mean linguine
Yet they skimp out on the cheese
"I've got a dream, a dream to be a porno queen
And MLK's dream just serves as a kinky porno scene"
Facing a world pandemic
Oh, who would stand to benefit?
A new world order where truth becomes irrelevant
You're so pa-
Yeah, you're so pathetic
Stay inside, wash your hands and just don't panic
Facing a world pandemic
The queue for those with eyes to see
A new world order where truth becomes the enemy
There's no con-
No, there's no containment
But it's a new world
So welcome to the new world order
We might have sealed the border but it's here now
The light was dimmed at the Source
While we all stayed asleep in their dreams
The age of ignorance was carried on the back of the kids
With one-way tickets to the graveyard
All in this together? So full of it...
If there was justice, we would all deserve to suffocate

So Free
03:06
|
|||
Low life, you’re a leech
And you’ve been sucking on my soul, mind and my body
You’ve been doing it a long time
Over there, the bombs are falling
But you don’t mind, you don’t mind
‘cause you’re here for a good time
Not to fill your head with drivel like Noam Chomsky
And the propaganda tells you you’re the good guy
Overhead, the bombs are falling
But you don’t mind, you don’t mind
A piece of me
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me
You know a little truth would set you free, so free
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me
You know a little truth would set you free, so free
Bounced right back, took back my seat
Never seen them so disappointed
Waking up from our slumber
Is it gonna take an eternity?
Study history, don’t repeat
But will we really heed that warning?
Checked our track record, my bet’s no
‘Cause we gotta have iPhones, my dough
A bigger slice in my pie hole
The diamonds, lights and lies that entice
New device? I gotta get it
It can widen my ice-hole
(Oh and look, it’s on sale on Amazon, great)
A piece of me
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me
You know a little truth would set you free, so free
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me
You know a little truth would set you free, so free
A piece of me
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me
You know a little truth would set you free, so free
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me
Don't you think a little truth would set you free, so free

POTUS
03:39
|
|||
VERSE 1
Sitting here biding my time
it don't make any sense so I'm here spinning my mind
about the hit the polls and draw an X, stay inside of the lines
and choose the next guy who's ruling my life
Wiping off the crusty little bits in my eye
and between steaming piles, man, I just couldn't decide
All I know is that if you're not standing here on my side at this moment
then I'll dig in my heels, don't care to bridge the divide, I'm like
CHORUS
We're not the SCOTUS, I'm not the POTUS
but I'm putting you on notice
It's a fact that you're whack, over-comfortably,
so of course you've got nothing to say, and I'm like
We're not the SCOTUS, I'm not the POTUS
but I'm putting you on notice (attacked)
VERSE 2
Kicking the can down the street, uh, I got the feeling
that Uncle Sam climbed into bed while we were sleeping
so now he's dead and bleeding, and no one's grieving
I cocked that .40 like you wouldn't believe it
and you might think that you got me, but what you got is a knock-off
A grand on OnlyFans you spend to get your rocks off
Claim you're the king but you're the Simp Lord, you have to pay for it
The tax cattle toil so they can pinch more ass
in the grass that they feed you grown with Round-Up
Cash makes you forget about your final place in the ash
You might not feel it but it's coming up fast
A one-way ticket and you're flying first class with the other fat cats
CHORUS
We're not the SCOTUS, I'm not the POTUS
but I'm putting you on notice
It's a fact that you're whack, over-comfortably,
so of course you've got nothing to say, and I'm like
We're not the SCOTUS, I'm not the POTUS
but I'm putting you on notice (attacked)
BRIDGE
Kick up that Wildstyle, open sesame
your turn to come dance with me
You're screwed no matter who you choose
That's why you're still so damn obsessed with me
One time, rest is history
Blindside, ain't no way that you'll lose

Napalm
03:22
|
|||
VERSE 1
We'd pay the fee to see you guzzle down the cattle fodder
Hose down the gullet, turn it on: tell me, how much you want?
Don't listen to Madonna, we came up from the bottom
The sum of every choice will end up on our sons and daughters
Post-quarantine haircut has got to get me looking so fresh,
so light it up just like the ATF did David Koresh
Why should I even bother? Give up, conform, or barter?
Might catch me ballin' like I robbed The Wealthy Barber
PRE-CHORUS
But you know you're about to flip when you got the coal
from a guy trading bronze for some gold, dancing under the napalm
CHORUS
I'll be dancing under the napalm,
and when the lights go out I'm burning 'till the rain's gone
Under the napalm, I'll be dancing under the napalm
and when the lights go out I'm burning 'till the rain's gone
VERSE 2
Picked up a rock to see who could throw the thingy farther
Ended up bashing out each other's brains and getting nowhere
We keep on blowing hot air, we know the world is not fair
and yet we sit around and dictate from a spinning armchair
No room for less than what we came for, we serve only the best
A coward looking like a champion in a bullet-proof vest
See, up is down, I'm aware, the revolution's out there
I could have missed you, but I did not see you there
PRE-CHORUS
But you know you're about to flip when you got the coal
from a guy trading bronze for some gold, dancing under the napalm
CHORUS
I'll be dancing under the napalm,
and when the lights go out I'm burning 'till the rain's gone
Under the napalm, I'll be dancing under the napalm
and when the lights go out I'm burning 'till the rain's gone
BRIDGE
Nothing to do but stare it down and calm the waters
Nothing to lose by sifting through the cattle fodder
we might find a clue, I hope so,
or beam me up and fly me far away
CHORUS
Under the napalm, I'll be dancing under the napalm,
and when the lights go out I'm burning 'till the rain's gone
Under the napalm, I'll be dancing under the napalm
and when the lights go out I'm burning 'till the rain's gone

Sleeping with the Enemy
03:57
|
|||
VERSE 1
Speaking about freaking out and pulling out investment
I would say that human beings might never learn their lesson
but if we can learn from pain and start to see it as a blessing
I could die and leave you with the f-following question:
Are you ready for the fight now?
Do you really have the eyes to see?
Do you really wanna get that down in the dirt,
do what it takes to be free?
Me? I was a born with the mission inside me
A slimy 33 degrees as we worship the scum at the bottom of the barrel
Know it never meant shit to me
CHORUS
and under cover of the night we'll cut the chains
As freedom bells ring out we close our eyes and
connect to the souls of our ancestors
Know you're never alone, you're gonna come home
Don't hang up the phone, you'll know when you're sleeping with the enemy
VERSE 2
Billy-boy Gates couldn't find his third eye,
pull back the curtain, what do I see?
The Wizard of Oz in a button-up shirt
is a scrawny motherfucker looking at me
Dershowitz kept sticking his dick
where it don't belong on Epstein's plane
Clinton's screwing little kids with what-the-fuck's his name
I think I see some dots connect,
draw a line through the fuckers like "bam, bam, bam"
If it weren't for the eye on the dollar Bill,
only thing he'd be fucking is his hand-hand-hand
Drawn and quartered, tar and feathered would be too nice
I'd rather bomb the fuckers like I'm Condaleza Rice
CHORUS
and under cover of the night we'll cut the chains
As freedom bells ring out we close our eyes and
connect to the souls of our ancestors
Know you're never alone, you're gonna come home
Don't hang up the phone, you'll know when you're sleeping with the enemy
VERSE 3
Mark Fuckerberg wants to check my facts
I say he can kiss my ass
Why not censor CNN, Fox, MSNBC
Yeah, how about that, bitch?
Bug-eyed as he is tongue-tied, yeah,
sick tie, ate the goat with Jack
Sit back with a Big Mac and get fat
Are you kidding? Get real, fuck that
Get on the fuckin' battlefield,
if not, go and slip on a banana peel
Showed up at the pearly gates and tried sneaking in
but God was like "nah, didn't keep it real"
This time around, it's gonna take a motherfuckin' army to keep me silent
and avoid a world that walks down the path that ends in violence, I know
CHORUS
and under cover of the night we'll cut the chains
As freedom bells ring out we close our eyes and
connect to the souls of our ancestors
Know you're never alone, you're gonna come home
Don't hang up the phone, you'll know when you're sleeping with the enemy

INTRO
A man, a man, a man sitting on a fire
A man, a man, a man's lost all desire
A man, a man, a man sitting on a fire
A man, a man, a man's lost all desire
VERSE 1
We're all fucking hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites
Everybody's playing the game
Five-O on the highway, not going my way
Saints and sinners, one and the same
I like the thought of hot revolution with a flame on the knife
just like the French did back in the day
and when the people woke from their slumber to the gold in their hearts
who would've thought how fast the power would sway
CHORUS
Day by day, I'm living my life
and I'll stick it to the man who's got me running circles in my head
Day by day, I'm getting by
and I'll watch the sun come out and burn a hole right in between your eyes
Day by day, I'm doing my time
and I'll shoo the stupid motherfucker wasting mine
They're gonna hang in the gallows for the depths of their crimes
I swear to God, you should have seen that, it's a fact
POST-CHORUS
If it's Trudeau, if it's Trump,
if it's Biden, who gives a fuck?
Kiss my, kiss my, kiss my, kiss my,
kiss my, kiss my, kiss my, kiss my ass
If it's Trudeau, if it's Trump,
Joe Biden? What the fuck?
Can't remember, can't remember
Tara Reade? Who's that?
Who can I count on to have my back
when the whip goes crack and it's time to attack?
(Remember, remember, the 5th of November)
That change is coming, just keep voting
Left or right? Your stupid is showing
VERSE 2
We're all fucking hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites
I'm about to bring on the pain
But I forgot my mind, hey, I'll bring it Friday
Until then, just stay in your lane
You know you must obey, earn your freedoms, trample natural rights
worked like a mule from your birth till your grave
And while we sip champagne on the backs of the people you love
oh, don't you dare question our authority
CHORUS
POST-CHORUS
BRIDGE
So how long will we deny the evident,
paint over the writing on the walls?
Can you feel me call you across the cosmos?
Love grows on and on unto the dawn
CHORUS

VERSE 1
Top of the morning Scott
I smoked a bowl to get me started,
ate a piece of toast, I picked my nose and then I farted
To my dearly departed: you know I feel you when you're feeling broken-hearted
No time to waste or we're going to end up where we started
Just take the shot, you might hit the target
My inbox, Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram
those Bumble/Tinder apps keep me retar-uh
Can't say that, lockdown's got you 'bout to lose your mind
'cause there are no distractions left to eat up your time
PRE-CHORUS
All aboard, bandwagon's leaving soon
but you never really had a clue
and if the world caught fire, you would hold the hose
but you wouldn't know what to do
CHORUS
Let me come over, burn the TV
throw your iPhone into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
Why not come over, burn the TV
throw your Android into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
VERSE 2
So where the heck have you been?
Go within, how else are you gonna win?
If I wanna draw blood, I might as well do it with the fucking pen
Don't cross me when I'm writing, t-t-that's a sin
I can't imagine how we end up in trouble yet again
It's like a vicious cycle, a battle that you're never gonna win
when you're flailing like a fish with no fin
A major cringe with a tinge of virtue signaling BS once again
I've already made my peace with the world if everything were to end, so i say
PRE-CHORUS
All aboard, bandwagon's leaving soon
but you never really had a clue
and if the world caught fire, you would hold the hose
but you wouldn't know what to do
CHORUS
Let me come over, burn the TV
throw your iPhone into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
Why not come over, burn the TV
throw your Android into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
BRIDGE
Lifted up, glimpsed the cold light of day
but then the spirit called and took their lives away
so as the veil comes down for us to see right through
Forfeit a filthy dollar, find another revenue
CHORUS
Let me come over, burn the TV
throw your iPhone into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
Why not come over, burn the TV
throw your Android into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring

The Sheeple
02:41
|
|||
VERSE 1
Turn off the TV, it's a sedative
out of The Truman Show and into the unknown, yeah
I treat the music as the medicine
or the plant with the spirit, take it's hand and it'll show ya
Better back up when I'm shining my light
if you don't want to go blind for the rest of your life
This ain't no joke, don't you give up the fight
Keep it going 'till the wrongs are made right
CHORUS
but then I opened the door and there were the sheeple
destined to graze on the lies sold until the day
we open our wings and fly like an eagle
Upward, together, forever
VERSE 2
I think we're here, we're at the precipice
Will we walk over the edge with our heads down in our phones?
Trying to answer all the messages,
as we miss the most important one that's coming from the soul, yeah
Tongue-tied when you're face-to-face with spirit
and it's alright, no, there ain't no need to fear it
See, the truth is through the ceiling (baa)
the writing's on the walls (baa)
but they'll still follow the sheep until the whole damn thing falls
CHORUS
but then I opened the door and there were the sheeple
destined to graze on the lies sold until the day
we open our wings and fly like an eagle
Upward, together, forever
BRIDGE
I talked to you but you seemed so confused
because you made your truth what you saw on the news
So tell me, whatchu gunna do when they're coming for you?
It's a catch 22, is the world just a zoo?
Oh, what sound does the sheep make? Ba ba ba ba
What sound does the sheep make? Ba ba ba ba ba
Baa, baa, baa
OUTRO
So open your wings and fly like an eagle
Upward, together, forever
if we wake up before it's too late
