New Improved Death

by Dexter's Evil Twin

/
1.
It's about to begin The horror can't be stopped This is no normal flu bug Or just an aggravated little cough A little something we've been working on For quite a long time I kills 9 out of 9 And leaves you deaf, dumb and blind And who are we To question what they do? After all, it's security For the red, white and blue

Track A 02:48
My body aches My head's afire I haven't got the strength To bury my wife So who needs a bomb? We've got something new Uncle Sam has a killer disease With no cure We trained you well And we taught you how to kill We did our best to make you what you are today So I've got to fight Just lay here and fight Or lay down my life for the red white and blue You know what to do Defend democracy Destroy the enemy But who'll be left alive?

Mush Pot 07:15
When I look back now I can still see you Looking as you and I used to Opacity that clouds my brain Trying to block away the pain I hear the songs we used to play I feel your loss inside of me Our childhoods gone inside a wink As we were swept our separate ways But where are you now? Clinging to one another in a sea of disarray Where are you now? Our cities were made of paper And the wind blew them away Long gone are the days when childhood ends Build us a mush pot, create our own zen In mountains of mud made by our hands You were my brother, you were my friend But where are you now? My brother, my friend, where are you now? In my time of darkness show me a light And though you're not with me I can still feel you now I still feel you now
4.
Calm 06:59
As darkness unfolds the feelings inside Are not as intense, but just as defined Drop into sleep, living within Living in death, dying again Looking beyond Don't be afraid to go on And reach for the calm and feel it My life is gone You're knife is deep in my gut I'm feeling the calm You're smile is gone The job you set out to do is done I'm calm When you were born you thought you were the one And so you are Who else knows what it feels like inside being alone? Swelled with emotion, riding the wave As one man weeps, thought enslaved Reaching for the catalyst to make it go away

He rose from his bed It was just in time to see That the nightmare he'd been having had come to be real It was just as real to him now As the day he was born But who could ever know? A child taught to hate himself, a prophecy fulfilled While I was left unknowing of what I'd done to him With those self inflicted arrows in his wounded soul And the failure he had learned was all he'd ever known So God looked down from his throne to see He was obviously displeased You could tell A way for him to understand the feelings he had known And to decimate the shards of glass that formed around his heart The time has come to change these empty feelings into love And live now
7.
Ant Song 01:57
The ants have the right to life The ants have the right to survive Don't let them take that away from you The ants the right to life The ants have the right to die Spray them with Raid and they will die Put your legs up in the air and roll on your back The ants have the right to die The ant have no right to exist Extinction's the answer for them Well we'll just drop a neutron bomb wherever they may live The ants have no right to exist The ants have no right to exist
8.
TV Inc. 02:30
Days of fun and days of sun I'm young, my life has just begun Seems to me that things are just the way that they should be I've got my wife, I've got my car, I've got a dog out in the yard It seems to me I've got the things that TV says I need. I've got what I need What TV says I need Would TV lie to me? Now my wife has got the cough The dog is dead out in the yard It seems to me that things are not the way that they should be People talking all around agree an answer must be found But the TV says that everything's the way that is should be The way that it should be Should be for you and me Has TV lied to me?

I'm sitting in a cabin on a vessel on the sea And I don't know where I'm going and I don't know where I've been Solid starts where fluid stops, but no one's drawn the line Seas of red and skies of green are mine All alone in a mystic world of beauty undefined Pillars of stone hang from above while water flows behind Deep down below the crust at the center of the earth Amazing just how light is is down here A mountaintop beyond, the trees just above Our path is clear, a bird engaged in love with the air By train we stop into the village at the bottom of the stairs A yellow sun and my destiny are yours A tightness in my gut as the Chinese gather 'round I am one of them, but I haven't been before Expressions all but gone as you blankly stare at me Our destination waits but no one knows just where Yellow light around off my yellow skin dusty is our cabin on this cosmic train In response to me the woman with no chin Answers my request: The cosmos are in proportion My tired body slumping down as gravity takes over now A sleeping mass is in my bed Music rings in my head Eternity in a dreamy world as thought I had the time But my own thoughts and actions are not mine
10.
Epilogue 02:24
As I feel the darkness settling here My senses have returned, now it's clear Ignorance, the price of fear The ghosts of us all, four billion or more So what's one more? It's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be Still, I thought there'd be more Our lives, our culture, our people are gone There's no one to talk, nothing to prove The battle is done Dying, the price of freedom No Iggy, no Ziggy, no spiders from Mars All given up for some foolish cause It's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be Still, I thought there'd be more
11.
Memories 06:44
I came to you when you called to me And I believed, I was deceived You comforted me under your deadly wing My severed emotions not feeling a thing You laid me down You held the crown Your understanding the depths of the seas The bottom of them I confided was me Salvation, my savior, you were my god How could I have known of the horrors to come You held me down You wore the crown Who'll hold me now? Who'll save me now? How could your presence catch up to me Just when I thought that I was out of you reach? Your strength and persistence is too strong to deny For me to surrender would be for me to die You tore me down You stole the crown Well I remember the day when you stole my mind And you left me filled with nothing inside My heart and soul were yours to confine Now you're calling to me and I want to respond With the same eager zealousness that I have learned Why the hell can't you leave me alone? Why can't you leave me along?
12.
These trees of green How much they've seen These trees of green From here the trees Know they are safe How wise they seem And they're so tall They rise above The pain below Oh, trees Call to me And comfort me In leaves of green How far yet near Your safety lies You know you're free If you could see My pain is great Below your leaves Oh, trees Call to me And comfort me In your leaves of green

DOB Live 05:13
It's about to begin The horror can't be stopped This is no normal flu bug Or just an aggravated little cough A little something we've been working on For quite a long time I kills 9 out of 9 And leaves you deaf, dumb and blind And who are we To question what they do? After all, it's security For the red, white and blue
