lyrics

Mommy’s come undone, I’m a Tommy Gun
I’m cutting myself just to feel blood run
I’m my Daddy’s bane, got an “Addies” brain
with neurons firing like a bullet train

Now that the proles are obsolete
Watch them starve while they pave the street
Kid’s storm-trooping in black and white
Brave new world for the ultra-bright

I wage my jihad ‘gainst a godless God
The I Ching of fate shuffles my iPod
Flames of fear are fanned, books are burned or banned
to the great machine, I’m a grain of sand

Now that the proles are obsolete
Watch them starve while they pave the street
Kid’s storm-trooping in black and white
Brave new world for the ultra-bright

It’s too late for revolution, their power is unmatched
It’s too late for revolution, the dragon’s egg has hatched

I’m taught to the test, I’m blasphemed and blessed
I’m climbing K2 on a vision quest
I’m no pauper’s pawn, not my parent’s spawn
I’m a prophet stoned as their war drones on

Now that the proles are obsolete
Watch them starve while they pave the street
Kid’s storm-trooping in black and white
Brave new world for the ultra-bright

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face
by Jeffy

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
