We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We close our eyes.

We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We close our eyes.

We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We close our eyes.

We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We close our eyes.

We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We close our eyes.

Oh lights out baby, for darker skies
There really is no reason that you need to ask why
When you fall like sparks from a muzzle

Like moths that get confused
By all the man-made moons
So go gentle in this dark, dark night

When something's wrong you know
It just ain't right

And you dance like sparks from a muzzle
And you fall like sparks from a muzzle

Welcome for the day or stay forever
There's things which we all need to navigate
Daisy chains of lights around the city now
They glow but never quite illuminate.

Hell and high water, won't stop us now
The future's twisted, righteousness is coming back around

Oh we fall like sparks from a muzzle

Unless two thousand and seven
Becomes a pitch black heaven
Oh stop acting like you’re my best friend

When you don’t know why and you don’t care how it ends
And you dance like sparks from a muzzle
And you fall like sparks from a muzzle

Welcome for the day or stay forever
There's things that we all need to navigate
Daisy chains of lights around the city now
They glow but never quite illuminate.

So dance like sparks from a muzzle
So dance like sparks from a muzzle

And we were lit by kerosene
And we were lit by acetylene
And we walked under neon skies
You know it made me wonder why
Why all the frequencies combine
And form a cleaner, brighter light
And we filled our florescent sails
It led to sodium-scarred wailing weeks

Hey now now, oh the future's bright
Oh hey now now, a history of light repeat now now
Because you know it’s right
Oh hey now now, a history of light repeat now now
Hey now now, oh the future’s bright
Oh hey now now, a history of light repeat now now
Hey now now, because you know it’s right
Oh hey now now a history of light
You know it's right
You know it's right
You know it's right
You know it's right
You know it's...

Easy Easy Easy Easy

Hey you, give me the dummy tits
Forget the rest of the shit
The man with the skull and bone
You think you know but you don't

To Sodom I will go
Not to Megiddo
Several lucifers come
And we can beat them all

A Carlton Corsair
A Raleigh Twenty yeah
A little lost (?)
The wind in your hair

No Lucifer

Come on, (?), lets go
Can always just say no
To the anti aircraft crew
The boys from the Hitler youth
Silk and cyanide
Six (?) left alive
Man with skull and bone
You think you know but you don't
To Sodom I will go
Not to Megiddo
Several lucifers come
And we can beat them all

A Carlton Corsair
A Raleigh Twenty yeah
A little lost (?)
The wind in your hair

No Lucifer

Easy Easy

Is that what the future holds?
Is that what the future holds?

Kevlar or cherry wood?
Malevolence or good?

Is that what the future holds?
Is that what the future holds?
Is that what the future holds?
Is that what the future holds?

No Lucifer

Easy Easy

You are astronomical fans of alcohol
So welcome in
Are rising in the East and setting in the West
All waving flags

We're all waving flags now
Waving flags
But don't be scared

And you, you will be here for a while
And it's all a joke
Oooh, it's all a joke
Ooooooh

Are here of legal drinking age, on minimum wage
Well, welcome in
From across the Vistula, you've come so very far
All waving flags

We're all waving flags now
Waving flags
But don't be scared

And you, you will be here for a while
And it's all a joke
Oooh, it's all a joke
Ooooooh

Here is my pride
here is my life
It just tastes good
Especially tonight

(Oh welcome in)

Oh welcome in, we are Barbarians
Oh welcome in, cross the ...
Oh we can fail, ... against the sea
No we won't fail, ... against the sea
So walk away

H5N1 killed a wild swan
It was a kind of omen
Of everything to come
I can't believe it's happening
And that it's happening now
I can't believe it's happening
It's coming true somehow

On Canvey Island, 1953
Many lives were lost
With the records of a football team
I can't believe it's happening
And that it's happening now
I can't believe it's happening
It's coming true somehow

Don't you think it's strange, you know
The way it all works out
Brace yourself for storms and Summer droughts

Sometimes it's hard to tell
If it's going well
You know the odds against it
Were so phenomenal
I can't believe it's happening
And that it's happening now
I can't believe it's happening
It's coming true somehow

Don't you think it's strange, you know
The way it all works out
Brace yourself for storms and Summer droughts
Don't you think it's strange, you know
The way it all works out
You start with everything then live without
Oh!
Oh, oh!
Ohhh...(etc.)

Oh it's happening now
Oh it's happening now
Oh...

Where I come from, silvery trees
Diamond on leaf, can't you see it?
Why did I leave?

The clipping of wings
The draping of kings
I was here long before you
Now kindly leave

This was far far away
And I knew I would not stay
Down on the ground
I'll be found
I opened up my mouth
I didn't make a sound
I could not cut you down, down, down

I was a girl and you were a boy
With innocent thoughts getting colder
Than it was before

This was long long ago
And I knew we'd never know
Down on the ground
I'll be found
I opened up my mouth
I didn't make a sound
I could not cut you down, down, down

Down, down, down
Could not cut you down

. . .


Build us a vehicle,
Set us a course.
Pick up your sickle,
Get on board.

We're all going on a trip out.
We're all going on a trip out.
We're all getting, all getting out.

Out with the daggers,
Off with the gloves.
There is so much,
That you can loath.

And I can't stop thinking about it,
And I can't stop working it out.
It doesn't come much bigger than this.
You see a point and you make a wish.
Everything tragic,
Take it away.

One fine day before the apocalypse,
And I know it's not impossible.
From a hill top,
Worn out short grass,
I don't know how long it can last.
Up then toward the see saw.
Up then toward the gibberish.
Up then toward being a bore
Up then toward the apocalypse.

Build us a vehicle,
Set us a course.
Pick up your sickle,
Get on board.

Lonely are the brave.
There is a chance
Of happiness.
Yeah, but it is over so fast.

And I can't stop thinking about it,
And I can't stop working it out.
No la dee da,
No picnickers,
Just party, party in a tweety land.

How long, how long, how long?

One fine day before the apocalypse,
And I know it's not impossible.
From a hill top,
Worn out short grass,
I don't know how long it can last.
Up then toward the see saw.
Up then toward the gibberish.
Up then toward being a bore
Up then toward the apocalypse.

I'll be the first to admit this is a bright but haunted age
I just don't know now now I just can't say hey hey
When you get down down to the heart and the bones of it
Thats when it breaks you know, thats when it falls apart
but thats the prize now

oh caveat emptor, open the atoms core
but thats the prize now
oh caveat emptor open the atoms core
oh caveat emptor open the atoms core
Whoa!

Oh Oh i just dont get it

And you keep slipping down the surface of things
i just cant take it now, i just cant wait for more
when you get down down to the sub atomic part of it
thats when it breaks you know, thats when it falls apart
oh caveat emptor, open the atoms core
Whoa!

Whoa!
Oh Oh I just don't get it
Get it
Oh I Just dont get it
Get It! Get It! Get It!
I just don't get it
Whoa!

I I just don't get it
No I, I Just don't get it
Just dont get it
get it get it get it get it
oh

Whats wrong with you?
ey lad?
*sounds of a crying baby being spat on*

. . .


When it's good, it's not bad
When it's bad, I don't mind if you're queer,
Let's be happy while we're here.

I don't clap, I don't cheer
I don't look, I don't hear.
It's alright I don't mind that you're here.
It's alright.

I sit up, sip my tears,
As they're falling down in my beer.
No need to cry at all,
There's no need to cry at all.

Play the game, cup your ears.
Let's be happy while we're here.

Coming, coming coming out of your eye, I don't mind.
Coming, coming coming out of your eye, I don't mind.

No need to cry at all,
No need to cry at all,
There's no need to cry at all.
No need to cry at all,
There's no need to cry at all.

Coming, coming coming out of your eye, I don't mind.
Coming, coming coming out of your eye, I don't mind.
No need to cry at all,
No need to cry at all.

Are you gonna live or die
Are you gonna live or die
Are you gonna be alright
Are you gonna live or die
Are you gonna be alright

5 Young Men went for a walk
Sat on a treestub and had a talk
It takes a thing to be a man these days
Nobody's scared but we hide anyways

We're almost there
And now it's coming back to me
Now, we're almost there
So are you coming back to me

Are you gonna live or die
Are you gonna live or die
Are you gonna be alright

Shattering your (?) settle your loans
Get on a slow boat to Mexico
Talking to rain (?) little cloud
Take a (?) with the tongo man

Open the door, we've gotta see just what it's for
Now we're almost there
So are you coming back to me

I'm not afraid of the big black bear
Only humans make me scared
I'm not afraid of missery
My life is a vapor and you can't break here
No taste or understanding of the walking
In her macro
Let it show in her bathrobe
Let her know
Let it rip!

Five young men went for a walk
Sat on a treestub and had a talk
It takes a thing to be a man these days
Nobody cares but everyones caring
Ohhh these days
Ohhh

Now we're almost there
It is (?) natural

Are you gonna live or die
Are you gonna live or die
Are you gonna be alright
Are you gonna live or die
Are you gonna live or die
Are you gonna be alright
Are you gonna live...or die

. . .


We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We close our eyes.

We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We close our eyes.

We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We close our eyes.

We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We close our eyes.

We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We're all in it and
We close our eyes.
