It’s the inalienable right of every being great and small
To do whatever must be done to stop being at all
I have one right to give and give it I shall
As a wasted life’s not wasted but achievements drunken pal
For I’m invincible
Young and indestructible
I’m a god don’t dare try stop me going…
Confidence may have an effect on my motor skills
But a negative result can come from optimistic pills
Determined to avoid any sense of rationale
As the truly great can succeed despite the impossible
For I’m invincible
Young and indestructible
I’m a god don’t dare try stop me going home
You can’t tell me my goals aren’t focused
I’ve still got some drive left in me
I’ll go a million fucking miles an hour
If I oh so fucking please
I’m sure that I will be alright
Just you wait and see
I’m sure that I will be alright
And you’ll eat those words when I’m asleep

Mayday, mayday we’re going down
Mayday, mayday we’re going down
Mother always said that I was of a special breed
But then neglected to inform me that my species wont agree
So as the lights disorientate
Transports me vertically
This unnatural selection
Instantly advances me
Because the test are in
Your chart is here
A lollipop, then done
Now publish my results to prove I am the chosen one
They didn’t take my sanity when they arrived and took an interest in me
Mayday, mayday we’re going down
Mayday, mayday we’re going down
My existence questioned by life forms lower than I
As amoebas ostracize amoebas that claim other wise
But still we can’t make the connection
Coz our arrogance assumes
That no ones breathing down at us
Through microscopic zoom
Because the test are in
Your chart is here
A lollipop, then done
Now publish my results to prove I am the chosen one
They didn’t take my sanity when they arrived and took an interest in me
Surely now my story is more than mere fantasy
The evidence conclusive that I’m not fucking crazy
No doubt the final message reads that they arrived and took an interest in me
No intelligent life was found (They took an interest in me)
Subject deemed mentally unsound (They took an interest in me)
Lets burn this bastard to the ground (They took an interest in me)
Mayday, mayday we’re going down (They took an interest in me)

The Mushrooms Are Coming

It’s time for the dirt
To move up in the world
Now up is down
This havens gone to hell
And so we dig a grave to live to tell
I am king in here
Worshipped and revered
But alas, this place is not for two
And this one has nothing left to rule
Paranoia built a shelter for me
From one hell of a storm that’s always brewing
If you look to the forecast there’s no cloud to see
But when the mushrooms are coming we’ll see whose crazy
You maniacs you blew it up
God damn you
God damn you all to
Hell is on the other side of that door
So the lesser of two evils is to stay and become furniture
For civilization to survive the human race has to become centralized
When I’m old and grey
I’d have won the race
Soul survived, this planet’s my playground
For maintenance, entry’s still not allowed
Paranoia built a shelter for me
From one hell of a storm that’s always brewing
If you look to the forecast there’s no cloud to see
But when the mushrooms are coming we’ll see whose crazy
Can we go outside to play?
It looks like such a lovely day
Paranoia built a shelter for me
From one hell of a storm that’s always brewing
If you look to the forecast there’s no cloud to see
But when the mushrooms are coming we’ll see whose crazy
Bang goes the fun guy routine
Bang goes the fungi
It’s time for the dirt
To move up in the world

He Came Unto Me

Your blessings I gladly receive
And be damned for eternity
But you absolved me of my sins
And then covet me once again
And although you say that our love
Is a direct affront to god
Father I swear upon the cross
He won’t find out about the two of us
I want you more than god himself does
I will testify that he always came first
What happens in the vestry
Is just between you and me
But god’s hand did intervene
Thus an unholy trinity
I prayed to renounce my faith
Dear god…
As they took you away
I want you more than god himself does
I will testify that he always came…
I swear to god that he’d never of touched us
I wouldn’t lie whilst holding my favourite book of all time
And then upon your release
He wouldn’t even look at me
My lord I’d like to change my plea
The fact is, he came un to me

Gather round my children for I’m the next Jesus Christ
And I’m accepting applications for a disciple enterprise
And in return I’ll take you to that promise land arranged
My travel guides, they may have lied about the price you’ll pay
What would you give?
For eternal life
Would you sacrifice?
Would you follow me off a cliff?
It’s hardly suicide
If you’re by my side
I swear that you shall live
Oh my brother lemmings
Follow me into the sea and we shall surely rise again
That’s when we drown
In a pool of happiness
And on peace and love and joy we happily will choke to death
Someday maybe we’ll fly
We won’t know unless we try
A few rats will have to die
It’s a price worth paying
Goodbye and Amen
Once more unto the beach my friend
Goodbye and Amen
This world was not meant for lemmings
Fellow chosen ones I’m glad you chose to enlist
For no longer shall we feel like rats escaping drowning ships
No, soon we shall have grown wings like the old stories say
If you don’t agree then just enjoy the view along the way
I am the one that will grant eternal life
For that to work I’m afraid you all must die
As we head into the sun
How could anything go wrong
As we jump headfirst to paradise
But when the sea starts getting far too close to me
I realize I just hate life and want to take you dumb bunnies with me
To the ends of the earth
To the end of the earth

I always like a good lie in on the weekends but now it’s Wednesday and the novelty is thin
What I would give for an alarm clock that could shift me from this permanent bed ridden state I’m in
Sometimes I hear that song, that shitful power ballad one but Whitesnake’s the last thing I’d come back for
I’ve joined the choir invisible
Yet still I’m breathing through a tube
I won’t be taking any calls
As nothings getting through to me at all
Except machines
Breathing for me
I only speak
In EKG
Some seem to think that I am only fast asleep but I assure that I’d rather rest in peace
This feeding paste, it doesn’t have the greatest taste but that could be because it’s pumped straight into me
Mr. Potato head, body, arms, legs and the rest
And vegetables don’t die with dignity
I don’t see your point of view
And I don’t want to talk to you
I swear it’s nothing personal
As nothings getting through to me at all
There’s nothing more that we can do
There’s nothing more that we can do
We’ll keep him breathing through a tube
Nothings getting through to me at all
So please unplug me
So please, I swear I’m deceased
So please unplug me
Maybe, maybe, not legally
