Break Open the Head
02:51

We ain’t dead yet
In spite of the evidence to the contrary
We can dance
Happiness is revolutionary
Not just another piece on the gameboard
We accept the freedom to even the score
And don’t you wait for a miracle
Penetrate through the skull
Break open the head
And when the growth of your very soul
Is slowing down to a crawl
Break open the head
Don’t be a rat
Scrambling on the deck of the Titanic
Find your path
Help restoring the dignity to man
If your mind is shut and can’t take any more
It’s time to get up and just kick through the door
In case of emergency
Break open the head

New Frontier
03:29
|
|||
Where do we stand now?
Where do we go from here?
Forget your leaders
Mired in greed and fear
And it’s not that they’re malevolent
It’s just that they’re irrelevant
as we stand on the edge of a new frontier
Going round and round and upside down
on the Carousel-O-Time
Making mundane of miracles
Making profane the divine
There’s another level and you will be there
If you keep on reachin’ for that new frontier

Higher Self
02:41
|
|||
Think for yourself if you dare
and you just might break out of the square
Asking who? why? which? where?
Any time is now, everywhere is here
Honor your higher self, man
Don’t let anyone tell you when to stop
You ain’t no drop in the ocean
You are the entire ocean in a drop
Do you remember the long days of summer
when we were young?
Clothes were in tatters, the only thing mattered
was having fun
Do you wish to be absolutely free?
To recieve, you gotta believe
(chorus)
Ain’t nothin left to win, ain’t nothin’ left to lose
Ain’t nothin’ more to fear, ain’t nothin’ more to prove
Even a memory is in the eternal now

Monsters
02:24
|
|||
Well we all see them at night
In tricks of the mind the moon invites
Now find the ones who hide in broad daylight
Is it really any wonder
We’re getting used to seeing monsters around every corner now?
If we knew of the monster
Knew of the monster in our own house
We’d have nobody to blame but ourselves
Isn’t it sad that we got no one else?
Get rid of your monster now
They don’t have an evil laugh
Aren’t twirling on a wax moustache
Not any warning as they cross your path
Is it really any wonder
We’re getting used to seeing monsters around every corner now?
If we knew of the monster
Knew of the monster in our own house
We’d have nobody to blame but ourselves
Isn’t it sad that we got no one else?
Get rid of your monster now

Zero Camera
03:32

Once you stop with the interfering
And the censoring, editing and retouching
Your best and worst scenes are the main attraction
So relax and please enjoy the show
From rise to fall, the comic and the tragic
And all in all, an insubstantial pageant
It rejects nothing, it clings to nothing
and it fears nothing, desires nothing
Realize that you’re running a program
Your ideas, feelings and taste burn up your brain stem
And culture is a mass hallucination
Step outside, see it for what it’s worth
The judge and jury aren’t in attendance
Achieving a nirvana of acceptance
It rejects nothing, it clings to nothing
and it fears nothing, desires nothing
And it hates nothing
And it loves nothing
And it fears nothing

Revolution of You
04:23
|
|||
Breaking through, witness the birthing
of a new order of being
A new world is not only possible
but on her way
Time now to make a decision
Utopia or oblivion
Lies mounting, ice melting
but there’s a way out of the mess
A revolution of consciousness
Leave behind - mind of a reptile
Through the door, permanent exile
Nevermore negative frequency
for you and me
Time has run out for division
Utopia or oblivion
Lie tellin’, slime sellin’
You’re never gonna pass the test
A revolution of consciousness
Break open the head and start anew
Dissolution of their dominance
Revolution of you
Exploding cognizance
Can’t you feel the light all shining through
Dissolution of their dominance
Revolution of you

Who is it that we call sinners?
Who is it that makes us prisoners?
Who is there to blame?
It’s only us
When you’re a child, you run wild
Before you have learned the rules of the game
Eventually, you must be tamed
Locked in the cult of the self
Stuck on the set of your own show
“Life with No Parole”
You kinda like your cell
So comfortable
And it’s all Ritual Routine Control
‘Cause you feel it in your soul
You know that life is all your own
Take apart the systems of control
Feel it in your soul
You know that life is all your own
Take away permission for control

Everyday
In spite of our ability to reason
We betray
Our impulse toward peace and freedom
Monkey with brains all full of mush
About to get the royal flush
Circling the drain of history
When gauging our virility, or faced with instability
It’s funny, the way we kid ourselves
We duck responsibility and feign invisibility
Funny, tricky little elves
Monkey with brains all full of mush
About to get the royal flush
Circling the drain
Monkey with brains all full of mush
About to get the royal flush
Circling the drain
Monkey with brains all full of mush
About to get the royal flush
Circling the drain

Reality 2.0
02:34
|

We’ve been on this rock for about half a second
And when we go extinct it’ll be ‘nother second
A Universal blink, creation/armageddon
And every fucking thing in between
Centuries have gone since the dawn of humanity
What have we become, drowning in our own vanity
Jaded and the numb on the brink of insanity
Every fucking day...
Do you feel like toast in the machine?
Defending a castle in the air
Connection, love and empathy
Up against a wall of despair
Connection, love and empathy
Up against a wall of despair
We don’t need the chaos and insanity
We don’t need the mad parade
Or those who profit from the trade
We don’t need this version of reality
And I say ‘out with the old’
Reality 2.0
