Welcome
01:30

Pleased to meet ya
Welcome to the show
I’ve something tell you
Here we go
There’s no more talk on the streets
It’s all said online
Have you sold your soul?
People treated like animals
Animals treated like dirt
The dirt they build their empires on
Always making sure they come first
There’s elephants in the zoo
Chained up, going mad
I saw one just the other day
My girlfriend bought some sunnies
My girlfriend bought some shades
They go with her black mask
That protects her from the plague
Pleased to meet ya
Welcome to the show
The earth is warming
Still you’re looking cool and in the know

Disability
02:38
|
|||
I’ve heard doctors and nurses are healers
And astronauts never complain
Brian Wilson is a genius
Gardeners just wait for rain
But I’m just some guy with a disability
Yeah, I’m just someone with a disability
Walk past me, I’ve got a disability
Don’t kiss me, don’t touch me
The prime minister is an arsehole
Rockstars need someone to blame
Evangelists will save your soul
Millionaires fly in private planes
But I’m just some guy with a disability
Yeah, I’m just someone with a disability
Walk past me, I’ve got a disability
Don’t hug me, don’t touch me

Into the Sun
01:17
|
|||
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
No one to fight, no one to love
Leave a note, bang your drum
Nothing to see when the day is done
Get your bags, you have won
Sing us a tune now you belong
From this winter cage where I am stunned
I watch my albatross fly into the sun
|
||||
4. |
Shove
02:48
|
|||
When will they realise what they’ve done?
They crucify the innocent and then run
Follow their rules/beliefs or they will fuck with you just for fun
They’ll push aside anyone
Shove
Shove
Shove
Shove

Silverback
01:47
|
|||
There’s always something we can do for you
There’s always something you can try
The silverback is trapped in the zoo
With the zebras and the lions
What can we do to comfort you?
…to help you sleep at night?
The silverback is trapped in the zoo
With the koala and the lions
|

Bombs
02:58
|
|||
They’re dropping the bombs on the innocent and strong
Living out a life of surprises
But I won’t leave you there
How could I watch your demise?
What will you leave behind?
They’re loading up their guns to enforce their right and wrong
Exploring night and day for new arrivals
But who am I to care if you stand to comply?
What will you leave behind?
It was the perfect night
Depending on your definitions
You are my ideal type
Infinite drive, zero emissions
They’re dropping the bombs on the innocent and strong
Living out their days in denial
We’ll have to leave you there
At which point will you compromise?
What will you leave behind?

Don't Tell Me
02:11
|
|||
I’m not in love
I’m not lonely
I don’t want to know your truth
I’m not wanted
I don’t want your honey
I don’t want to see your proof
Don’t tell me the situation is hopeless
Don’t tell me the situation is hopeless
Don’t tell me the situation is hopeless
Don’t tell me the situation is hopeless
I’m not in love
I’m not lonely
I don’t want to know your truth
I’m not wanted
I don’t want your honey
I don’t want to see your proof
I’m not in love
I’m not lonely
I don’t want to know your truth
I’m not wanted
I don’t want your honey
I don’t want to see your proof

Lies
02:08
|
|||
They were pushing us under
Holding us under
We’d ask why
That’s what they recognise
They were making conclusions
One-way solutions
We asked why
That’s what they recognised
They just lie
L-l-lie
They’d almost taken us over
Real motherfuckers
Still we try
That’s what they recognise
They were holding us under
Real motherfuckers
Still we try
That’s what they recognise
They just lie
L-l-lie
L-l-lie
L-l-lie

Daddy
Daddy
Daddy
Daddy
He shows us what’s cool
Breaks all the rules
Old-school shoes
Let me introduce
Daddy
Old cat daddy
Balding daddy
Bearded daddy
He’s got tattooed skin
He lets us know what’s in
He thinks he always wins
Can I be your friend?
Daddy
Old cat daddy

Please
01:05
|
|||
She don’t care why, she don’t
She don’t care why, she don’t
She don’t care why, she don’t
She don’t care why, she don’t
She don’t please
He won’t say why, he won’t
He won’t say why, he won’t
He won’t say why, he won’t
He won’t say why, he won’t
He won’t please

Grave
01:48
|
|||
Save yourself again
Dig out your grave
Make no mistake
Pray, and don’t be late
Here’s another raid
You’re gonna fade
The dead came back to console the living
Grave
Grave
Grave
Grave

Sympathy for the sociopath
Use me
Manipulate me
Yell
Destroy me
You seem fun loving and forgiving
I can’t breathe when you get me under control
Then leave
Trigger me
Tell me when I’m insane
Let me know when I’m well again
A gaslight dinner for two
What do you have to say?
A bit part in your grand parade
Don’t call
No
Charming veneer
We’re all here
Just for you
Sympathy for the sociopath
Sympathy for the sociopath
Sympathy for the sociopath
Sympathy for the sociopath

Remain
00:58
|
|||
When some people find out you’re barely here
They do all they can to help you remain
When other people find out you’re barely here
They do all they can to blow you away
Help you remain
Blow you away
Help you remain
Blow you away
Help you remain
Blow you away
Help you remain
Or blow you away

Upstanding Citizen
01:30
|
|||
I want a lover
I want someone I can reward
I want a Doberman
I want to praise the Lord
I want a big house
I want a holiday
I want my friends to say wow
When I shut down this masquerade
I want true love
I want someone to control
I want clean water
I want you to do as you’re told
I want enlightenment
I want ménage è trois
I want a clitoris
I want to save the world
I want to be an upstanding seh-seh
Upstanding citizen
Upstanding seh-seh
Upstanding citizen
Upstanding seh-seh
Upstanding citizen
Upstanding seh-seh
Upstanding citizen

Into the Night
00:49
|
|||
Into the ocean I dive
There’s a possum on a line
Are you ready?
Let’s take a ride
I used to think I’d fly but I could never jump that high
Are you ready to take a ride?
Into the night
Into the night
|

17. |
Woah Yeah
01:17
|
|||
Everything you make is so beautiful
You are always so thoughtful
The bigger picture is yours to see
But you will never see me
Whoa yeah
Whoa yeah
Whoa yeah
Whoa yeah
Everything you say I want to hear
You’ve conquered all that I fear
To see you I’d pay any entrance fee
But you will never see me
Whoa yeah
Whoa yeah
Whoa yeah
Whoa yeah

The Animal Enlightenment
02:44
|
|||
Draw a line in the sand
Just to push others over it
The Animal Enlightenment
The Animal Enlightenment
Watch me perform in my cage
Torture me when I escape
The Animal Enlightenment
The Animal Enlightenment
Keep us quiet, keep us tame
Frame us when you need someone to blame
The Animal Enlightenment
The Animal Enlightenment
But now we’ve realised what has to be done
But now we’ve realised what has to be done
But now we’ve realised what has to be done
But now we’ve realised what has to be done

Into the Stars
03:49
|
|||
You’ll never feel love but you’ll never be lonely
You’ll never feel love but you’ll never be lonely
On their knees praying to each new god
Want a friend? I’ll buy you a pony
Fly them off into the stars
Shooby doo wop, shooby doo wah
Put them in a spaceship, take them to Mars
Shooby doo wop, shooby doo wah
You’ll never feel love but you’ll never be lonely
You’ll never feel love but you’ll never be lonely
On their knees praying to each new god
Want a friend? I’ll buy you a pony
Fly them off into the stars
Shooby doo wop, shooby doo wah
Put them in a spaceship, take them to Mars
Shooby doo wop, shooby doo wah
