CIRCUS
Welcome to the circus
Step right up
It’s a circus full of berserkers
Daily we pray they won’t hurt us
It’s a drive-through all night barbecue
Custom-built to supersize us
Life’s a mall that never closes
All we need right under our noses
Sound of sirens higher and higher ones
Law and order north of the border
Life in America
Life on the Ameri-go-round
Land that my fathers made
Land built the American way
Build it up, tear it apart
Maximum guts, minimum heart
Get them wagons in a circle
If we get out alive it’ll be a miracle
Barbed wire fence, this is mine
Gunfights inside the golden mine
Life in America
Life on the Ameri-go-round
Life wrapped up like Hollywood pap
Game over and that’s a wrap
Freeways clogged with forgotten dreaming
No one knows what anything means
Everything’s available
Nothing comes free
If the choice is mine
I choose me - me - me - me - me…
Life in America
Life on the Ameri-go-round

Get Your Hands Off Of Me

GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME
Get your hands off of me
Get your hands off of me
Get your hands off of me
Get your hands off of me
Get your hands off of me
Get your hands off of me
They ain't where they’re supposed to be
So get your hands off of me
Turn to the left, turn to the right
Check behind you died in nice
Something's coming but you don't know when
Something going to make you think again
Look where your minds at, where is your heart?
Look how you live as it falls apart
Look what you do with your head in your hands
You're pushed in circles that you don't understand
I don't want to be touched
I think I might that much
Clear – get out of here
What are you, the government?
I think you know just what I meant
When I get all up in your head
Hear me now I quite clearly said
Get your hands off of me
Get your hands off of me
Get your hands off of me
Get your hands off of me

BANDWAGON
Jump up on the bandwagon - Let me give you a hand up son
Jump up on the bandwagon - Yeah you’re gonna be someone
You'll - be - so happy - Come on kid - listen to me
Do you think that's your fate? - Live and die on a council estate
There has to be some escape - Before you're old and it's too late
Record these songs, no not those - Wear this, put this up your nose
New York, London, Tokyo - Everybody's gonna know
You'll - be - so happy - Come on kid - can’t you see
The way we Spotify - It's hard to quantify
For every buck you make - We'll make thousands, ain't that great
Without my backing cash - You’ll never make it past
A sad handful of views - And no news is bad bad news
Bad bad news
And when you’re unhappy
Don’t even call me
You end up in a rubber room staring at the walls and going zoom zoom zoom
Push that needle further in, end it all it ain't no sin
Cram those pills into your mouth, send your soul way down south
No more pain, no feeling warped, just leave behind a beautiful corpse
I can take that to the bank
A beautiful corpse
I can take that to the bank
Jump up on the bandwagon
Come on come on son
Bad bad news

SIDE EFFECTS
Swell
Arrhythmia
Palpitations
Diarrhea
Constipation
Fever
Stroke
(Say it faster this ain't no joke)
Hair loss
Confusion or mindlessness
Hives
Dizziness
Inability to do the business
Rectal bleeding
Ulceration
Low blood pressure
Inflammation
Heart failure
Bouts of nausea
Swelling
And of course Insomnia
Halitosis
Brittle bones
And yes, Dementia, no one home
And we leave this till the last, and say it under their breath
There's kind of a very small chance...no really, very small chance of
Of Sudden death!
The Cure is worse than the disease ….so many ways to make us bleed
Voodoo drops and jelly roll - just take two of these
Call me in the morning if you still alive
We have the supply so you barely survive
But it sure ain’t rock ‘n’ roll
Cancer ain’t rock ‘n’ roll
It sure ain’t rock ‘n’ roll
Side effects ain’t rock ‘n’ roll

Hacker (Hack Attack)

HACKER (HACK ATTACK)
It's a hack attack, it’s a hacker hack attack,
It’s a hack attack, hacker hacker hack attack,
It’s hack attack, hack attack, hack attack
Crouched in the basement of my mother's house in Illinois
Hacking into other lives so I can be some other boy
My fingers are a blur as I hack your DOB
No matter who you are pal you cannot hide from me
Got me a hoodie you know just like Mr. Robot
Wanna be just like him ‘cos he's everything that I'm not
Bullied in school and called a stupid nerd
Yeah we’re gonna to see who gets the final word
Woke up this morning and I couldn't find my fingerprint
ATM spat my card and told me that I had sinned
Got to work some other mother sitting in my cubicle
Wearing my ID like that was nothing unusual
My girlfriend took one look at me, screamed and called the cops
‘Cos someone stole my ID and now everything is lost
Without my ID I don't know who I am
Emasculated I don’t even feel like a man
You can say it won't happen to me
We all got the right to privacy
Illusion with walls made of glass
Sometime soon someone's going to steal your ass
‘Cos It's a hack attack, it’s a hacker hack attack,
It’s a hack attack, hacker hacker hack attack,
It’s hack attack, hack attack, hack attack

I'm So Happy

I'M SO HAPPY
You think this they think that
But I don't wanna think at all
I never listen when your lips move
It's like I'm staring at the wall
I drive my car I drink my drink
I never ever stop to think
Cos thinking only makes me unhappy
I stare into the screen I don't even blink
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so … happy
I love my blindfold ignorance bliss
It totally turns me on
Tell me what could be better than this
Than every little thing they tell me that I want
I’m so … happy
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so … happy … I could die
Please don’t tell me that this is a lie
Just pull that hood over my head
‘Cos I don’t even wanna try
I wanna believe whatever is said
I’m happy right here and that’s the deal
This ignorance is sweet bliss
I don't ever wanna feel anything real
In fact I don't even wanna feel this
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so … happy

Eating Myself

EATING MYSELF
Remember when we said that we would make amends for what we've done
Remember when we thought that they would be would be no end to how the sands of time would run
Each day I'm eating myself, I'm eating myself, I'm eating myself
Another little piece gone forever today
Each day I'm cheating myself, I'm cheating myself,I'm cheating myself
I’m telling myself that help is on the way
Remember when the skies were blue and water ran crystal clear
And we had everything to lose but now all we have is fear
Did we think that this would last forever?
Did we think the time would not run out, no never, never ever
Now we stand up to our necks in the deep and dead sea
Asking ourselves how this could happen to us
How could this happen to me?
It's not like we had no warning
Each day I'm eating myself, I'm eating myself, I'm eating myself
Another little piece gone forever today
Each day I'm cheating myself, I'm cheating myself,I'm cheating myself
I’m telling myself that help is on the way

IN 30 YEARS
Stop to think
As we sink
What it will be like in 30 years
Lost our minds
No fine line
Fact or fiction to our ears
Deliver drones
No one home
Back to dog eating dog
The unknown
With minds blown
Terror lurking in the fog
How I wish that I could love someone
Because I'm so very tired of everything that's going on
They divide
Us inside
Disunite whatever we decide
Smoking screens
Faked out dreams
Saturation, divide the nation
Predators
Parasites
Take of pills stay awake all night
Want some fun
Come on son
Buy a gun, you know that it feels right
How I wish I could love someone
Because I'm so tired of whatever is going on

I Got Ya

I GOT YA
Sliding down the hill to the hole at the bottom
And there's nothing I can do that's ever gonna to stop ‘em
Here's enough rope, it's a slippery slope -How can you hope? You must be joking!
Hold out your hand, hold out your hand - I, I, I got ya
Hold out your hand, hold out your hand - I ain't forgot ya
Sliding down the hill to the hole at the bottom
And there's nothing I can do that's ever gonna to stop ‘em
Here's enough rope, it's a slippery slope -How can you hope? You must be joking!
Screw mental health, amass more wealth - They don't care about your health at all
If we do as we're told we might grow old - Or end up stood up against the wall
Hold out your hand, hold out your hand - I, I, I got ya etc etc
Every day they try to tell you that nothing means nothing
But it all means something - Yeah it all means something
They try to take away your will to carry on
But it all means something - Yeah it all means something
Hold out your hand, hold out your hand - I, I, I got ya
Hold out your hand, hold out your hand - I ain't forgot ya
Sliding down the hill to the hole at the bottom
And there's nothing I can do that's ever gonna to stop ‘em
Here's enough rope, it's a slippery slope How can you hope? You must be joking!
Why do we persist, why do we insist? That things could ever be any different than this?
What do you expect, love and respect? A little bit of kindness to cure our blindness?
I got ya, I got ya, Yeah yeah, I got ya - I got ya, I got ya, Yeah yeah, I got ya
I got ya, I got ya, Yeah yeah!

BE TRUE
The future is written by the past
And it's looking like it won't last
So don't tell me how I ought to behave
These are just your ideas and I am not your slave
What is this for?
Can't you see?
My life's not yours,
It belongs to me
How many lives have you wasted?
Well you won't get to waste mine
Can't you see that it's disgraceful
How we listened to you all this time
You're never too young
You're never too old
To stand up stand out
And refuse to be told
You can talk about heavens reward
But I only have this one life here
The things you say don't count
If that's the future you can count me out
There has to be a better way to live than this
I don't want to feel a bullet I want to feel a kiss
What is this for?
Can't you see?
My life's not yours,
It belongs to me
Be true
Be true
Be true
