Finest Worksong


The time to rise has been engaged
+
You're better best to rearrange
+
I'm talkin' here to me alone
+
I listen to the finest worksong
+
Your finest hour
+
Your finest hour
+
Another chance has been engaged
+
To throw Thoreau and rearrange
+
You are following this time
+
I beg you not, beg to rhyme
+
(Oh) Your finest hour
+
(Oh) Your finest hour
+
Take your instinct by the reins
+
You're better best to rearrange
+
What we want and what we need
+
Has been confused, been confused
+
(Oh) Your finest hour
+
(Oh) Your finest hour
+
Take your instinct by the reins
+
Better best to rearrange
+
What we want and what we need
+
Has been confused, been confused
+
(Oh) Your finest hour
+
(Oh) Your finest hour

Welcome To The Occupation


Hang your collar up inside
+
Hang your dollar on me
+
Listen to the water still
+
Listen to the cause where you are
+
Fed and educated,
+
Primitive and wild
+
Welcome to the occupation
+
Here we stand and here we fight
+
All your fallen heroes
+
Held and dyed and skinned alive
+
Listen to the Congress fire
+
Offering the educated
+
primitive and loyal
+
Welcome to the occupation
+
Hang your collar up inside
+
Hang your freedom higher
+
Listen to the buyer still
+
Listen to the Congress
+
Where we propagate confusion
+
Primitive and wild
+
Fire on the hemisphere below
+
Sugar cane and coffee cup
+
Copper, steel and cattle
+
An annotated history
+
The forest for the fire
+
Where we open up the floodgates
+
Freedom reigns supreme
+
Fire on the hemisphere below
+
Listen to me
+
Listen to me
+
Listen to me
+
Listen to me

Disturbance At The Heron House


"They're going wild," the call came in
+
At early morning pre-dawn, then
+
"The followers of chaos out of control
+
They're numbering the monkeys
+
The monkeys and the monkeys,"
+
The followers of chaos out of control
+

"They're meeting at the monument,"

+
The call came in the monument
+
To liberty and honor under the honor roll
+
"They've gathered up the cages the cages and courageous,"
+
The followers of chaos out of control
+

The call came in to Party Central

+
"Meeting of the green and simple,"
+
Try to tell us something we don't know
+

"Disturbance at the Heron House"

+
A stampede at the monument
+
To liberty and honor under the honor roll
+
The gathering of grunts and greens
+
Cogs and grunts and hirelings
+
A meeting of a mean idea to hold
+
"When feeding time has come and gone
+
They'll lose the heart and head for home
+
Try to tell us something we don't know"
+

Everyone allowed, Everyone allowed

Strange


There's something strange going on tonight
+
There's something going on that's not quite right
+
Michael's nervous and the lights are bright
+
There's something going on that's not quite right
+

There's something going on that wasn't here before

+
Keep your eyes glued to the floor
+
There's something strange going on tonight
+
There's something going on that's not quite right
+

There's something going on that wasn't here before

+
Keep your eyes glued to the floor
+
No one's going to say goodnight
+
There's something going on that's not quite right

Its The End Of The World As We Know It / And I Feel Fine


That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane -
+
Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -
+
world serves its own needs, regardless of your own needs. Feed it up a knock,
+
speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,
+
down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for
+
hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
+
breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered
+
crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population,
+
common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its
+
own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the
+
reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
+
light, feeling pretty psyched.
+
It's the end of the world as we know it.
+
It's the end of the world as we know it.
+
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
+
Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn,
+
return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform and book burning,
+
blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle,
+
light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh,
+
this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament,
+
a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
+
and I decline.
+
It's the end of the world as we know it.
+
It's the end of the world as we know it.
+
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
+
The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mount St. Edelite.
+
Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
+
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic,
+
slam, but neck, right? Right.
+
It's the end of the world as we know it.
+
It's the end of the world as we know it.
+
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine...
+

Because it's cold down gold down there, crow!

Flat lands low lands on the track

Shows the water pan the track

Lightnin' won lightnin' won

Close up hands to silhouette, crow!
+
Lightnin' won, lightnin' won
+
Hound bark on the track

Hound crow hold onto your hat

Lightnin' won lightnin' won

Low lands timberlands bad lands bird lands

King Of Birds


A thumbnail sketch, a jeweller's stone
+
A mean idea to call my own
+
Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young
+
There's time to teach, point to point,
+
Point observation, children carry reservations
+
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me cold.
+
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly
+

Singer sing me a given, singer sing me a song

+
Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on
+
(Old don't lay so still you're not yet young,
+
There's time to teach, point to point,
+
point observation, children carry reservations).
+
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold
+
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away, away.
+

I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice

+
Old man don't lay so still, you're not yet young
+
There's time to teach, point to point
+
Point observation, children carry reservations
+
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold
+
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away
+

Everybody hit the ground. Everybody hit the ground.

Oddfellows Local 151


Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
+
Where Peewee sits to prove a sage to teach
+
Peewee gathered up his proof
+
Reached up and scratched his head
+
Fell down and hit the ground again
+

Firehouse. Firehouse.

+

Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse

+
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach?
+
This boy and girl that gather pearls
+
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
+
Wash off the blood, wash off the rum
+

Firehouse. Firehouse.

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
+
Where Peewee sits to prove a sage to teach
+
Peewee gathered up his proof
+
Reached up and scratched his head
+
Fell down and hit the ground again
+

Firehouse. Firehouse.

+

Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse

+
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach?
+
This boy and girl that gather pearls
+
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
+
Wash off the blood, wash off the rum
+

Firehouse. Firehouse.

+

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse

+
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach.
+
This boy and girl that gather pearls
+
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
+
Wash off the blood, wash off the 151.
+

Firehouse. Firehouse.

+
Firehouse. Firehouse
