I NO LONGER AM
I AM NOT
I'M THE SON OF NONE AND I AM NOT
THAT'S MY NAME 
MY ABSOLUTE REAL NAME
AFTER ALL THE REST OF THE PSEUDOS
LET ALONE THOSE ORIGINALS
MY FINAL NAME IS NOT

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
I AM NOT

WHO ARE YOU - I AM NOT
WHO ARE YOU - I AM NOT
WHO ARE YOU - NOT NOT 
NOT - THE SON OF NONE

&

THAT MUCH IS VERY CLEAR OF IT
THAT'S THE CLEAR PART OF IT
THE CONFUSION COMES IN 
WHEN NOT HAS TO BECOME SOMETHING

WHAT WE HAVE REACHED WITH THE AGE OF IMAGE-CONSCIOUSNESS
IS THAT WE CAN HAVE PARALLEL AVATARS
WE CAN BE MORE PERSONS AT THE SAME TIME

&

I ALWAYS FORGET TO LET MY PANTY FALL
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT STATEMENT HERE
MOST IMPORTANT STATEMENT  HERE

I HAVE SEEN IT ONCE IN A CLUB
ON A GIRL  THIS FALLING DOWN PANTY
SEVENTEEN  PRETTY  DRUNK
MINISKIRT  PANTY FALLING DOWN
ALMOST THE MIDDLE OF THE THIGHS

IT MADE A GREAT IMPRESSION ON ME

&

THAT WAS ALICE IN CHAINS IN THIS AMALGAMATE OF JAZZ
FREE JAZZ ACTUALLY
NOT THE MELODIC SEDUCTIVE JAZZ
BUT THIS HYPNOTIZING JAZZ

JAZZ EITHER SEDUCES OR HYPNOTIZES
NOT PAR EXCELLENCE - DOESN'T WANT TO MAKE YOU ASLEEP

OR NOT LIKE TRANCE TO BRING YOU IN ANOTHER DIMENSION
IT IS JUST PURE EVIL

JAZZ IS PURE EVIL - THAT'S WHY IT'S SO POWERFUL
NOT THOSE DEATH-METAL BOYS ARE EVIL
WHO SAY EVIL EVIL EVIL
NOT THEY WILL GO TO HELL
BUT THOSE THAT ARE

&

BUT THAT'S NOT ABOUT THE TOPIC
THE TOPIC IS THE RIOT IN FERGUSON STILL
AT THE SAME TIME THERE WAS A TWELVE YEARS OLD CHILD 
SHOT BY THE POLICE PLAYING WITH A TOY GUN
BUT THIS IS NOT SO BAD 
BECAUSE I BELIEVE THEY WERE BLACK POLICEMEN

BECAUSE THEY DON'T WRITE WHITE POLICEMAN
THEY DON'T WRITE IT IN THE PAPER
SO I REASON THEY WERE BLACK

I DON'T KNOW THESE BLACK POLICEMEN 
WHO WORK FOR WHITE CHIEFS
THEY ARE CONSIDERED TRAITORS?
THE BLACK POLICEMEN CONSIDERED TRAITORS OR HEROES
BY THEIR COMMUNITY?

I WANT TO KNOW  BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
I WANT TO KNOW THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND
'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW

&

I'M VERY SORRY TO ARGUE IN MY OWN NAME
BUT I AM NOT  I AM NOT
YOU ARE NONE AND I AM NOT
AND THAT'S HOW WE TRY TO COMMUNICATE
THAT'S HOW WE TRY TO COMMUNICATE

IS THIS A NEW RELIGION
IS THIS A NEW AWAKENING

&

THAT TIBETAN SCHOOL OF RESIGNATION
WHAT YOU HAVE GROWN UP ON
THEY'RE IDLE  THEY'RE IDLE

THEY'RE NOT SO IDLE SOMEONE MIGHT SAY
HOW MANY MONKS LIGHT UP THEMSELVES
AND BURN IN PROTEST - WHAT IS IDLE IN IT

I UNDERSTAND THAT TIBET IS A LAND YOU HAVE TO PROTECT
I UNDERSTAND BUT IT'S LIKE  AFTER ALL
AFTER ALL AFTER ALL AFTER ALL
NOW AFTER GEOGRAPHY
IN THE POST-GEOGRAPHIC ERA
IT'S JUST A STATE OF MIND

IT'S A STATE OF MIND TIBET
NEW JERUSALEM TOO
AND TRANSYLVANIA TOO
THAT'S OUR TRAVELING COLLEGE OF TIME CONSCIOUSNESS
TRANSYLVANIA - TIBET - NEW JERUSALEM

&

I HAVE VERY FEW TIME TO SPEND ON WATCHING THINGS
OR LEARN  TRY TO LEARN SOMETHING
LIKE SHOULD LIKE TO LEARN THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
I DON'T HAVE THE TIME  OR THE ENERGY RATHER
TIME AND ENERGY GO TOGETHER

I'M CROSSING MY OWN BARDO
BECAUSE I'M AN INDIVIDUAL BUDDHIST
BUDDHIST  I MIGHT BE
AN INDIVIDUAL COMMUNIST
INDIVIDUAL FASCIST  THAT SOUNDS GOOD
I'M AN INDIVIDUAL FASCIST

I AM NOT
I AM AN INDIVIDUAL FASCIST
I AM NOT, COMMA, AN INDIVIDUAL FASCIST
THERE IS A SELF-DENIAL FACTOR IN IT

UNDERSTANDING YOU AREN'T FIRST
AND THEN CALLING YOURSELF THAT WAY: NOT
WHO ARE YOU - I AM NOT
IT REDUCES THE COMPLICATIONS OF COMMUNICATION A LOT  A LOT

&

WE BELIEVE IN NONE ULTIMATELY
AND DOING EVERYTHING TO PROVE ITS EXISTENCE
NONE HAS TO EXIST - BY THE GRAMMATIC LOGIC OF IT
THERE IS A GRAMMATIC LOGIC TO EVERYTHING
I'M SUFFERING FROM IT SO MUCH

THE LOGIC ARE LIKE CHAINS - THE RULES  THE RULES
I AM FOR IT - THAT'S THE PROBLEM
I AM FOR IT  I AM FOR CHAINS
JUST HATE TO WEAR THEM
BUT I DESERVE THEM NO DOUBT - I HAVE NO DOUBT
I HAVE NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT

I MADE ALL MY LAMENTS AND I UNDERSTAND
HOW MUCH I DESERVE IT
NOW  IS THAT ENOUGH

IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO RELEASE ME FROM THEM, HM
I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING MORE

&

I NEED A TASK  I NEED A TASK
A TASK  A TASK  A TASK
MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING
MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING 
NONE IS A DELUSION

OH THIS INFINITE CONFUSION OF THE MIND
THE INFINITE CONFUSION OF THE MIND
IS SO DEGRADING ISN'T IT

&

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH DOGMATIC ATHEISM
WHY SHOULD WE AGAIN BELIEVE IN SOMETHING
VAINLY I'M FOUNDING AN ATHEIST CHURCH
THE CONGREGATION IS IMPROBABLE

BECAUSE WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE IN SOMETHING
IF WE ARE UNBELIEVERS
NOT WHAT THE KORAN CALLS UNBELIEVERS
THE KORAN CALLS UNBELIEVER NOT ONLY THE ATHEISTS
IT DOESN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT ATHEISTS
DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT ATHEIST - IT'S SUCH A SMALL MINORITY
BUT ABOUT THOSE THAT BELIEVE SOMETHING ELSE
SOMETHING ELSE

&

VAINLY THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE SHOWS
IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE SCIENCE
THERE IS ONLY ONE MAKER
THERE CANNOT BE MORE THAN ONE
BECAUSE THE SCIENCE IS THE SAME EVERYWHERE

SCIENTIFIC LAWS - LAWS OF GRAVITY - ARE GLOBAL
AND  EVERYONE OBSERVES THEM THE SAME MANNER  EVERY NATION
THE GLOBAL LAWS OF GRAVITY WE ALL OBSERVE EQUALLY
WHAT THE HELL IS THE DIVISION ABOUT

THE LANGUAGE ONLY  IT'S THE FUCKING LANGUAGE ONLY
THE BABEL SYNDROME

WE SHOULD GATHER TOGETHER AND FINISH THE TOWER
WE SHOULD GATHER TOGETHER  IN ENGLISH
AND FINISH THE TOWER

THAT'S WHAT I THINK WE SHOULD DO
IF WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING
 
&

I'M DREAMING AROUND  I'M JUST DREAMING AROUND HERE
I DON'T HAVE A JOB - I'M JUST DREAMING AROUND HERE
I DON'T HAVE A TASK - I'M JUST DREAMING AROUND HERE

ONCE YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF THE SON OF NONE
WHO ISN'T - WHAT CAN YOU DO REALLY
SERIOUSLY WHAT CAN YOU DO AFTER IT
WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT CAN YOU DO

WHAT CAN YOU PROVE WITH THE BODY
IF THE WORD DOESN'T PROVE
WHAT CAN YOU PROVE WITH YOUR BODY

THAT FRUSTRATES ME SO MUCH
THAT I DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING AT ALL

AND ESPECIALLY NOT
I'M NOT TRYING TO CONVINCE ANYONE
NEVER - I SWORE ON THAT
I WILL NEVER TRY TO CONVINCE ANYHOW ANYONE EVER
THAT'S MY OATH - I WON'T BE DELUDED

&

OSH IS NONE
OSH IS NONE
OSH IS NONE

GOD IS ONE BUT OSH IS NONE
OSH IS NONE 
OSH IS NONE
THAT'S OUR SHIELD
OSH-IS-NONE IS OUR SHIELD
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL HOLD UP THE ISLAMIC OFFENSIVE

&

IT'S VERY SIMPLE NOW  IT'S VERY SIMPLE
THE POPE WON'T DO IT - THE POPE DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER
IT'S A VERY GOOD POPE - HE WENT TO TURKEY NOW
AND PRAYED IM A MOSQUE
PRAYED IN A MOSQUE FOR PEACE

GREAT  SUPERGREAT  VERY MODERN YES
HE UNDERSTANDS THAT HIS RELIGION IS JUST ANOTHER ONE
HE HAS FULL RESPECT FOR EVERYTHING ELSE
INCLUDING LUCIFER I GUESS - THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY

IT'S A GOOD GOOD MAN BUT WHAT CAN HE DO
WHAT CAN HE DO  WHAT ROME CAN DO
ROME IS NOT A POWER  NOT A MILITARY POWER

&

WE NEED MILITARY POWER  GLOBAL MILITARY POWER
WE ARE THE SHIELD OF OSH - IT'S SO SIMPLE

I'M DREAMING ABOUT AN OTHER SOLUTION
I'M JUST DREAMING ABOUT ANOTHER SOLUTION
WHY NOT - I MAY DREAM, NO?
I HAVE THE RIGHT  I HAVE THE RIGHT TO DREAM
EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO DREAM

AND NOBODY SEES THEM
AS LONG AS YOU DON'T DO IT NOBODY SEES IT

&

THERE IS A WALL
AND THEN I TURN AROUND
AND THERE IS WALL BEHIND ME TOO
ANYTHING I DO

&

OH I WOULD LIKE SO MUCH TO SING ALONG WITH HIM
DON'T BE SO ALONE
IT'S FOR ME LIKE A DUETTE
I AM TRYING TO DREAM IT

I WANNA JOIN THE VOICES
THE VOICES  THE VOICES
I WANNA JOIN THE VOICES
WANT TO UNITE MY VOICE WITH THE VOICE I LOVE

THIS IS CURTIS MAYFIELD
HIM I LOVE THE MOST PROBABLY, YA
PROBABLY - I'M NOT ASHAMED
HEY HEY HE HOO HA HU HOO

MARVIN  MARVIN  
HE KNEW IT THE BEST
AND HAD A WONDERFUL DEATH
ONE OF THE GREATEST DEATHS EVER
SHOT BY HIS OWN FATHER  OWN FATHER
WHAT CAN BE MORE ACCOMPLISHED  WHAT
A GOD WE ARE TALKING ABOUT - NOT A CRIMINAL

&

YOU SEE HOW GREAT THE CONTRASTS ARE
MOST CONTRASTING RADIO EMISSION POSSIBLE
THAT'S WHY I CALL IT NUCLEAR
"LUCIFER"

'ET POUR VOUS DIRE ADIEU
VOICI UNE AUTRE MEMORY OF THE EIGHTIES
CE SERA H.I.M. - HIS INFERNAL MAJESTY VILLE VALO
AVEC UN DEPECHE MODE COVER
RECORDED LIVE IN HELSINKI…"

&

PREVIOUS LIVES - RIDICULOUS IDEA
PREVIOUS LIVES  AND NEXT LIVES
IT'S TOTALLY RIDICULOUS WHAT WE PERCEIVE LIFE AS
INCARNATION  INCARNATION
IT'S A NARROW NARROW - THE VIEW IS SO NARROW

NOT ME
I'M NOT AN INCARNATE OF ANYONE
DON'T SCARE ME DEAD - I'M NOT AN INCARNATE
DON'T SCARE ME DEAD OSSH
I'M NOT AN INCARNATE

I'VE NEVER BEEN AND I NEVER WILL BE
I'M THE SON OF NONE - NOT AN INCARNATE
I'M THE SON OF NONE - I AM NOT

WE OUGHT TO SURVIVE, NO?
