NOT A GLOBAL GREYNESS WHAT WE ADVERTISE
WE ADVERTISE UNLIMITED EXTENSION
AS SOON AS NUCLEAR REINCARNATION SETS IN

A NUCLEAR REINCARNATION WILL SET IN
WHEN THE DIFFERENCES DON'T WAGE WAR WITH EACH OTHER
IT'S NOT SO FAR AS IT SEEMS
THE POINT IS IF WE REACH IT
BUT WE'RE ALMOST THERE
AND THE LAST STEP IS THE HARDEST ONE
ALWAYS THE HARDEST
THE FIRST STEP IS THE EASIEST
THE LAST STEP IS THE HARDEST

IT'S VERY STRANGE BUT THAT'S HOW IT IS
BECAUSE IT'S A WAR WITH GRAVITY
AND AT THE END GRAVITY COMES WITH TOTAL POWER
YOU ALMOST CANNOT MOVE ANY MORE

&

THAT'S WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING
I BELIEVE I'M EXPERIENCING THE COSMIC SITUATION
WHAT ELSE AM I EXPERIENCING
MY OWN MISERABLE PHYSICAL REALITY?

THAT'S WHAT YOU MEANT
THIS IS MY PHYSICAL REALITY
THIS VOID I FIND MYSELF IN
IS MY PHYSICAL REALITY
OH DON'T TELL ME THAT

IT IS AN ALLEGORY
I'M AN ALLEGORY
I LIVE AS AN ALLEGORY
AND I OF COURSE WILL DIE AS AN ALLEGORY
AN ALLEGORY OF DEATH

&

NEW  CONTRADICTIONS HAVE APPEARED
WELCOME THE NEW CONTRADICTIONS
NEW CONTRADICTIONS HAVE APPEARED
WELCOME THE NEW CONTRADICTIONS
I'M VERY GLAD TO MEET THEM
I'M LOOKING FOR THEM ALL THE TIME

BECAUSE I AM A CONTRADICTATOR
IT'S LIKE THE ANTICHRIST
THE CONTRADICTATOR
HUU-HUUU-HUU

I'M A HUNGRY WORD
HUNGRY FOR CONTRADICTIONS

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
THAT'S HOW WE START
NO NO NO NO NO
HERE COMES THE NEGATOR
AND SAYS NOOO

&

THE MEDIA AGE  IT'S ROOTED IN DRUIDISM OF COURSE
ELECTRONICS DON'T CHANGE IT - DON’T CHANGE THE ORIGINAL POWER
IT'S ALSO ELECTRONIC - DARK ELECTRONIC
NOW WHAT YOU CALL DARK ELECTRONICA

TIME IS WORKING BY THIS FUCKING MIRROR SYSTEM
IT'S NOT REALLY CHANGING - IT'S MIRRORIZING
IT HAD A LINEARITY, YES 
IT HAD A LINEARITY TILL 1984, YES

AND SINCE 1984  SINCE IT COLLAPSED
WE ARE COLLAPSING  
SINCE 1984 WE ARE ONLY COLLAPSING, DARLING
JUST WE ARE COLLAPSING NOW
AND WE ARE COLLAPSING NOW THE MOST
THIRTY YEARS LATER  THIS IS IT

&

IT'S NOT VISIBLE  BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE
IT'S A MENTAL PROCESS
IT FUNCTIONS THE SAME WAY AS AN EARTHQUAKE
JUST THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT YOU DON'T FEEL IT

OH WE MUST FEEL IT
WE MUST FEEL IT
MUST WE FEEL IT  MUSTN'T WE FEEL IT
NOW TELL ME  TELL ME
WHY THIS CONTRADICTION

NOBODY TELLS US  NOBODY TELLS US WHAT WE ARE
NOBODY TELLS US WHAT WE ARE
NOBODY TELLS US WHO WE ARE  WHY WE ARE  WHERE WE ARE
THEY SAY HI, HOW ARE YOU
THEY SAY HI, HOW ARE YOU

&

THE TERROR OF THE VACUUM IS NOT DIVINE
THE TERROR OF THE VACUUM IS NOT DIVINE
IT'S INFERNAL
THE VACUUM IS INFERNAL
THE INFERNAL VACUUM IS NOT DIVINE

(ENOUGH)
THE INFERNAL VACUUM (NOW ENOUGH)
IT'S NOT DIVINE, ALRIGHT

&

THIS IS A VERY RESIGNATED VERSION OF THE SALUTE
WHEN YOU DON'T GO BACK TO THE END OF IT
THAT YOU DON'T SHOW THE BACKWARDS
WHEN YOU GIVE UP  WHEN YOU GIVE UP THEN YOU SALUTE LIKE THAT
YOU STILL SALUTE LIKE THAT BUT DON'T HOPE ANY MORE
SALUTE LIKE THAT AND THAN YOU SAY -

THIS IS RESIGNATION - IT CAN HAPPEN
ACTUALLY IT'S MY SALUTE OF TODAY

&

WHEN YOU WANT TO DANCE - AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO
ANY MUSIC WILL DO
YOU CAN DANCE TO ANYTHING
YOU CAN DANCE TO ANY SOUND
AND YOU CAN DANCE TO SILENCE
YOU CAN DANCE ANY TIME  ANYHOW
DANCE IS FREE

&

THERE IS A WAR GOING ON
HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED
THERE IS A WAR GOING ON BETWEEN EAST AND WEST
RIGHT NOW  RIGHT NOW ON EARTH
NOT NORTH AND SOUTH - BETWEEN EAST AND WEST
ARABIA AND…  WHAT ARE WE
AMERICANS WE ARE  AMERICANS

I CAN'T EVEN GRASP IF I HAVE A NATIONALITY OF ANY SORT HERE
I'M A CITIZEN BY MIRACLE
I CANNOT LEARN THE RULES
I'M A WORKING CLASS HERO, BABY
I'M A WORKING CLASS HERO

DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE TO ACCOMMODATE
AND I SO MUCH DON'T BELIEVE IN THE SYSTEM
I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE SYSTEM  IN ANYTHING IN IT

THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T ASK FOR ASYLUM WHEN I SHOULD HAVE
AND THAT PUT ME IN A JEOPARDY OF LIFE FOR DECADES
BUT I JUST DIDN'T THINK I HAVE TO
I DIDN'T THINK I HAVE TO

&

THIS IS THIS VERY HEARTBREAKING SONG
I SHOULD BE VERY PATHETIC ABOUT AGAIN
BUT NO I WON'T  I WANT TO FINISH THIS TOPIC
MAY I FINISH ONCE SOMETHING
MAY I FINISH A TOPIC ONCE
INSTEAD OF ASSOCIATING ME WITH ANYTHING

&

YES THAT'S MY OWN PERSONAL STORY  DOESN'T BELONG HERE
I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT PATRIOTISM
I'M THE BORN ANTIPATRIOT I BELIEVE
I IMMENSELY HATED MY MOTHER COUNTRY
WHERE I GREW UP
IMMENSE TOTAL HATE I HAD FOR IT  UNFORGIVING
AND AFTER I LEFT IT AND WENT INTO EMIGRATION
THEN I DIDN'T CHANGE MY MIND
I JUST HATED IT EVEN MORE AND EVEN MORE
SO NOSTALGIA I REALLY NONE I EVER HAD FOR 

"IN A LAND THAT KNOWS NO PARTING
BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN"

&

DO WHAT YOU CAN
DO WHAT YOU CAN, HE SAYS, DO WHAT YOU CAN
DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOU CANNOT DO
WHAT YOU CAN DO THAT

AND WHAT I CAN IS NEXT TO NOTHING
SO I DO THAT
I PROVIDE MY KITCHEN
AND GET MY CIGARETTES MAINLY
AND THAT'S MY DAY

OH HOW SAID - YES IT IS

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT MORE
IF I COULD KEEP THIS ON THAT LEVEL FOR EVER
I WOULDN'T MIND
IF IT WOULDN'T GO WORSE THAN THAT
BUT IT GOES ALWAYS WORSE
BECAUSE COMES THE SICKNESSES AND THE MENACES
THE FEARS AND THE MADNESS AND THE CONSTANT MISERY

&

SO WHAT IS EXPECTED THEN
I'M EXPECTED TO DANCE
YOU CANNOT DANCE TO MISERY
YOU CANNOT DANCE TO MALADY
YOU CANNOT DANCE TO MADNESS

WHAT YOU CAN DO - WHAT YOU CAN DANCE TO
MUSIC IS NOT THERE
MUSIC IS HALLUCINATION
FOR ME MUSIC IS HALLUCINATION 
I DON'T LIVE

IT'S LIKE IN A DREAM  WHEN YOU HEAR IN A DREAM
VERY OFTEN YOU HEAR MUSIC IN A DREAM
EVEN NON-MUSICIANS
PERFECT MUSICS YOU CAN HEAR  AUDIOLIZE
I BELIEVE I HEAR IT  I ENJOY IT
BUT I'M UNSURE IF IT EXISTS
I'M SO VERY UNCERTAIN IN EVERYTHING

I CAN SAY KILL THE CRIME
I'M NOT UNCERTAIN IN THAT
KILL THE CRIME - BUT IT'S STILL VERY ABSTRACT, RIGHT
IT'S STILL VERY ABSTRACT SOMEWHERE
IT'S STILL VERY ABSTRACT SOMEWHERE
IT'S VERY ABSTRACT  KILL THE CRIME
ALRIGHT - HOW

"I'M LONESOME, I'M BLUE 
I'LL NEVER GET BY WITHOUT YOU"

&

CONFESSION TO THE WALL  CONFESSION TO THE WALL
CONFESSION TO THE WALL

HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH SOMEONE
OSH YOU HAVE TO TELL ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO DEAL WITH SOMEONE
WHO CONSIDERS THE HIGHLIGHT OF HIS LIFE
IF HE DOESN'T HAVE TO LEAVE THE ROOM
THOSE ARE HIS HAPPIEST DAYS
DOES NOT HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE

NOW I AM NOT A HOMEBOY
I AM NOT A HOMEBOY
I AM NOT A HOMEBOY
DOING SOMETHING PLEASURABLE AT HOME
VERY SELDOM WATCHING EVEN TELEVISION
ONLY IN FINAL NEED

IF THERE IS SOME NEWS FOR EXAMPLE
THEN I WATCH TELEVISION  THE NEWS  THE NEWS
NOT MUCH ELSE
I CAN'T WATCH A MOVIE ANY MORE
I'M JUST SATISFIED WITH KNOWING ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING
I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT  I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT

&

I NEED A VIOLENT RELEASE
POSITIVELY VIOLENT
NEGATIVELY VIOLENT WON'T WORK ANY MORE
I REFUSE IT THAT I NEED A NEGATIVE PUSH
LIKE SOME CATASTROPHE THAT MAKES ME MOVE
NO

THEY ARE BLACKMAILING ME
OH DOCTOR DOCTOR  DOCTOR DOCTOR
MY DEMONS ARE BLACKMAILING ME

I NEED A POSITIVE PUSH  BUT I CAN'T CREATE IT
HAVE TO FORCE ME TO SOMETHING TO DO AND THEN I DO IT
BECAUSE I'M A HERMIT  BY VOCATION I'M A HERMIT
I'M A HERMIT

&

I'M BORED OF SHOWING GESTURES
I'M BORED OF SAYING WORDS
I'M BORED OF STANDING ON MY FEET AT ALL
I DON'T UNDERSTAND  AM I DEAD OR AM I ALIVE

BECAUSE IF I'M DEAD WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE
IF I'M ALIVE THEN LET ME DIE
SO NEGATIVE I AM  SO NEGATIVE 
YOU SEE HOW NEGATIVE  HOW NEGATIVE

SO WHAT COULD I DO WITH YOU
SO WHAT CAN I DO WITH YOU
WHAT CAN I DO WITH HIM

MY ONLY SINGLE CONCERN IS 
THE COLLECTIVE ARS MORIENDI
THE QUALITY'S ARS MORIENDI IN QUANTITY

&

NOW IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT I SAY
I'M VERY AFRAID OF SAYING SOMETHING
THAT IRRITATES THE POLICE OR SOMEONE  THE GOVERNMENT
I DON'T WANT TO UNDERGO ANY EXTRA PUNISHMENT
I HAVE ENOUGH OF THE COSMIC ONE
I DON'T NEED EARTHLY PUNISHMENT TO IT
ON THE TOP OF IT ALL

I WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO DEFEND MY THESES
I WOULD DENY ANYTHING
I WOULD BETRAY ANYONE

RUNNING FOR ELECTIONS
THAT'S HOW YOU RUN FOR ELECTIONS
YOU RUN  YOU RUN  YOU RUN

&

WELL A PLANET THAT CARRIES LIFE ON IT MUST BE SULLEN, RIGHT
LIFE IS A DISEASE  A DISEASE ITSELF LIFE
IT'S A PLANETARY DISEASE  A DISEASE OF THE PLANET
AN INFECTION OF THE PLANET
THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE LIFE - IT'S AN INFECTION OF OUR PLANET

"IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY I'M LIVIN'
YOU JUST LEAVE THIS LONG-HAIRED COUNTRY BOY ALONE"

I KNOW IT'S RIDICULOUS
TALK TO YOURSELF MEANINGFULLY
YOU CAN TALK TO YOURSELF  BLA-BLA-BLA-BLAH
BUT TALK TO YOURSELF MEANINGFULLY
IS THE REAL MADNESS

THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THE CAMERA IS ON
THAT I TALK TO MYSELF AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT LOUDER
STILL SWALLOWING THE WORDS AND HATE TO SPEAK IT OUT
BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT LOUDER THAN THE SILENT MEDITATION
WHEN I'M TALKING TO MYSELF ALL THE SHIT
WHAT I'M TELLING TO MYSELF  THE SHITS I'M TELLING TO MYSELF

&

THE MOUTH IS A GATE OF CENSORSHIP
SO WHAT YOU SPEAK OUT IS ALREADY CENSORED
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU REALLY THINK
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE VOICE PRAXIS
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE MOUTH  WHEN IT OPENS
HU-HUU  HA-HEE-HA
TARAP-TA-DO
