10th album... this one is called, 'ANTIWAR ANTICHRIST' (after the first track)... songs are uploaded to

mp3.com

ANTIWAR ANTICHRIST

dear editor
you're either a useful idiot
or a provocateur
i mean to say you're antiwar
not that the so-called 'other side'
is inhabited by any different type of mind
in any case i hope they gas you and put you into camps
you there with your garbage music,
and your desire to get drunk and have sex all the time
you there with your collectivist designs
without ever really knowing the overmind
sign me: antiwar antichrist

UNREQUITED LOVE

some say it is a pathos
but regardless of that it's been so long
you might as well let it play out
and why is it that you only attract the gross ones?
never the super hotties?
if you didn't know better you would think that
unrequited love is - after all - better than the real thing
for whatever all of that is supposed to mean

NEOCONS

they tell you that you are sick
and that only they know
the exact laws which need to be written
and the exact types of people - once identified - who need to be smitten
they say there is a god and that this god loves them
and that this same very god - usually another word for state - would love you too
in this same way if only you would behave
they have the answer for everything including which speculation is allowed and which is not
and if you don't go along it's with you with whom there is something wrong
as if such ever could be accurately defined by their terrified, bullying little minds to begin with...

THEANINE

she took a theanine and fell asleep
so she could dream of all of the sheep
who were in the act of being fleeced
yet there was one dandy fiend who
very much attracted her with his own theanine
and they danced into a romance which in the end
was nothing more than a shattered trance
because she was so special and he was
just someone she could use and abuse
but they both wanted it that way
as long as they had theanine it was ok

VIRUS BOY

he lived in bulgaria
and wrote viruses for all of the major players
and it paid his bills and then some
and they made out like bandits
he was their virus boy
the internet will never be the same
without their "protection" you're out of the game
why is everything such a shame
or is there a better word for it than that
now that the cat is out of the bag
and fields of nephilim await

RAILROAD BLUES

stuck in a house where he can't pay the rent
later in life when everything is already spent
he toils each day in a job he doesn't like
just because for the time being he's barely able to get by
and it doesn't matter if he's good or bad
'cause some of us are really just born to be bad
it wouldn't matter whether he tried or not
in his life everything is for naught
and trains they go by and they blow their horns
almost liked they're mad more than any kind of warning
and all of it is crazy and some people say he's lazy
but he knows better than to feed parasites

A FINE LINE

some say everything a person has
as if of course they're not being had
is whatever they worked for
and there is no such thing as luck
only elbow grease
and who knows they might be right
call them buddhists or call them republican
they grant no quarter to those who are losers
and what is life except for misery
it's not as if anything of value will ever reach this
the lower plane
and of that misery
if you have wealth it is delicious
and if you are poor it is simply shattering
but who is counting anyway
save for the winners in life
certainly not their slaves

WHAT THEY SAY

they say you should settle for less than what you want
and call it the spirit of community
and you should do your duty
and be willing to give your life for this freedom they gave you
which if you don't do what they say will instead make you a traitor
they say you should give everything for them
that there is no individual but instead a state
and the most perfect of states they boast they have created
and this has never changed
and you owe them big time
and if there is a demiurge
that is the last thing they should want to talk about
and if there is a cabal
and you speak of such you will certainly be blackballed
they say you take a lot of drugs and because of that you are bad
but in their hearts there is nothing left but fawning
over the garbage their mouths never tire of spawning
oh and you can have their drugs just not yours
and that's what they say
oh and you can have their sex just not yours
and that's what they say

CORPORATE SOCIAL STATE

you'd better serve their interests
or they'll put you into a camp
at best that is
or they could put you into a hospital
and give you the drugs they like
but not the ones you need
and they show you what they want to show
and they tell you what they want you to hear
and you lap it up like a little lapdog
because to go against them would prove
after all that you know nothing but
sheer insanity
you do want to be a good consumer don't you?
i mean
being a producer is so evil after all isn't it?
having some semblance of an original thought
well that's strictly to put it bluntly
verboten
and if you go against them
you're sure to be forgotten
whereas if you toe their line
they might give that torture some respite

GOLDSTEIN

they put his face there on the screen
and for two minutes you hate goldstein
it doesn't matter if the face is not the same
if you don't go along you will be ashamed
they tell you to be terrorized
and long ago you lost the will to defy them
they give you a big wad of cash
and tell you no payments 'til january
and give you money against that house
they keep telling you that you own
but really it is stolen property
but what do you care as long as they feed you
and you can have the thrill of hating goldstein
and you feel like you're just oh so right
and of those you hate and those you despise
well they're inferior and backward
and well they're not even human
but you yourself you're the epitomy of a civilized person
just make sure you keep on hating goldstein

UNTAKEN

she was very angry
and no one would ever take her
but what is that anyway
other than the demiurgic feint
he was placebic
but never anemic
he couldn't even look her in the eyes
he was shy but not because he was in any way shape or form
nice
and they would live apart forever until her dream man would come
and take her despite her anger
and he would just fade away
a wastrel by any other name
and he's the only one to blame
for his unwillingness to play the game
the way the powers that be designed for it to be played
but what is anyone to do when life has turned bitter

TOO BEAUTIFUL

she was too beautiful
so when she was taken
she only lost
but circumstances made her oblivious to the real cost
so she was happy having given her life
so her man could be a titan of industry
and that was what she wanted deep inside
not to be free but to be treated like a child
for what is freedom but a responsibility
and there is always death
so why not be a slave and be kept like a trophy
especially if you can't even see
she was too beautiful for he
but she didn't care because of a woman of such beauty
someone could say of it that god truly did love her
because women may think themselves all the same
and on some level they probably are
but that is certainly no way most any man will ever treat them
and of course styles and trends they change
so the big fat sex goddess of the type from five thousand years ago
just can't keep up with these lithe girls these days
in the end it's all about costs and ultimate losses

LINYING

lin ying had a joytoy
she found it in china in 1938
she used it to fight japanese imperialists
but who could ever win out in a fight between
two varieties of such prime flowering female
it must have been the joytoy
what woman can compare to yin ling
when she has her joytoy
no wonder the japanese eventually lost
but you and i know they're all so beautiful
and they know the score
death by a thousand caresses and all of that
and oh so much more
no one touches lin ying
without being assured of her majesty
same thing for the finest of the race queens
can't we all just get along
too bad they kill the baby girls
what would happen if they killed the boys instead?
but maybe it's all part of their secret strategy
to ensure that the female remains queen
and the lowly male her subject
certainly that is the case with
lin ying and her joytoy

CHEERFUL

he was cheerful
because there was nothing left for them to take
and thus nothing left for him to lose
oh how he hated that
even though perhaps he should have known better
but wisdom is never found
anywhere near the ground
where he once tread his path
he was so very happy
because there was no more scam
for anyone to run on him
and they couldn't take anything else
and everybody felt it
he had conquered his fears
for whatever that was worth
and the scamsters had to move onto better prey
and that's all they do
they just take and they take
but who was stupid or foolish enough to ask for more
why this desire to be outside of the whoredom
which is ultimately all the world has to offer
that he could never figure out
not that it mattered
because by then he was simply cheerful
and no one could ever steal that
at least not for a very long time

NAKED

he was so naked
and everyone could see what he had become
so unlike the way he was ostensibly brought up
and so he shamed his family
through his inaction upon the teaching
which he always forgot
and he wasn't supposed to want anything
that they didn't already want for him
because that would only lead to death
and they had given him life
but in his blindness he had made fools of so many
but really only of himself
for in the end what is left
of a man who has spent himself
for she who must be obeyed
only to find out that in his heart of hearts
he had strayed and instead was if nothing else
only jaded
and of course naked

WRONG NOTES

he was always sending signals and notes
but never the right ones or at the right place or the right time
some said he was a genius
some special sort of someone
sometimes it seemed like nothing more than special ed
for a genius might see something but be oblivious to
everything else
what about her needs
he couldn't even take her
or fake taking her
what did she really want or need
did it always end in breeding
or was that only the beginning
what of the sinning
is that the cause of pain
or is the universe really nothing
assuming it really exists
more than some gigantic torture chamber
who is right and who is wrong
did everyone forget the meaning of love
certainly his had never been lost
and each of us pays the cost
lost or found
happy or with frown

IT

it's tough being an it
you've seen war veteran kings with childish grins on their faces and sometimes snakes in their eyes
but it's still tough being an it
he's over there and she's over here
and you're in between yet nowhere to be found
you know it's tough being an it
you've seen self-proclaimed beasts, or madmen at least
and their entourage of hangers on, onlookers, devotees, and whores
but still it's so tough just being an it
you've seen followers of Jesus and whimps who softly sneeze and you cannot read the breezes because they never cease a changin' and your life you're always re-arranging because it's so damn tough being an it
then there are those times where your vision is sublime and for just that one still, ecstatic moment you realize that, like everything else, being an it has its own rewards; you've been yourself a whore but the losers never keep score and the winners track little spreadsheets with little numbers that go cha-ching.

it's just that you got lost in the troubles you once had, having taken distant memories of faded friends and jealousies and projected them ahead of you when they had just got lost, so from now on no matter what was then and whether it ever mattered, and no matter what might come be it your humiliating persecution or a fortune on a golden platter.

it's in the final analysis often tough being an it

SQUIRM YOU FUNKY WORM

she told him to squirm
like a worm and he did
of course she would never be with him after that
but he didn't care because he really got off
and without her it would have never been the same
and of the pain he could handle the blame
and of the game he could always play
and be her squirming, funky worm
and the onlookers would be aghast
and she would take a lover
but of his her own squirming worm
there would never be another

SONG OF LEVI

You gave Levi your Urim,
your Thummin to the one you favored
after you had tested him at Massah
and striven with him at the waters of Meribah.
He said of his father and mother,
"I have not seen them."
His brothers he does not know,
Nor does he know his children.
Yes they have kept your word,
they have held firmly to your covenant.
So they will teach your customs in Jacob,
your torah to Israel.
They will send incense rising in your nostrils,
place the holocaust on your altar.
O Yahweh, bless his worthiness,
and accept the work of his hands.
Crush the loins of all his enemies,
and of his foes, till they rise no more.
