Track Name: Turn Off
TURN OFF these plastic records
TURN OFF that plastic record
sign out of your profile
sign out of that meaningless profile

there is no time to be a lazy boy
get out of bed, comb your head

put on your shiny boots
open the door and go outside
filter out the programming
interact with real people

there is no time to be an idiot
forget the shame, stop being lame
put on yr face, this is a race
fake it til you make it, because you can take it

scrape away that mindless void
scrutinize the reactive mind
burn out this toxic shroud
contaminate the Normal crowd

there is no time to be a pity whore
give it a break, stop being fake
making it real now, no looking back now
we have a mission: atomic fission

TURN OFF this empty mall
TURN OFF this auto call
TURN OFF this wavering
TURN OFF this slavery

TURN OFF this nightly news
TURN OFF this red state blues
TURN OFF this iMorphine
TURN OFF this death machine

TURN OFF this empty light
TURN OFF this portable device
TURN OFF this anti-sound
TURN OFF this microphone
Track Name: Young Life
WHEN YOU WERE BORN
INTO A MODERN PLACE
WHEN YOU WERE BORN
INTO A MODERN SPACE

You Were Born, You Were Born

WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG
YOU DIDN'T NEED NOONE ELSE
WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG
YOU ALWAYS NEEDED SOME HELP

You Were Bored, You Were Bored

WHEN YOU WERE OLDER
YOU WERE OUT IN THE STREETS
WHEN YOU WERE OLDER
YOU UNVIELED THE SECRETS

You Were Sore, You Were Sore

WHEN YOU ARE OLD
IN THE YEAR 2012
WHEN YOU ARE DEAD
TIME WON'T EXIST ANYMORE

You Are Re-Born, You Are Re-Born

Cremation of Care

Johan Ess is the name
Why don't you look at my home page?
Here to infiltrate the info game
and set the stage for the random age

The universe is a lie perpetuated by your worst nightmare.

Yo hoe, is that all you're playin?
unwrap me from this cellophane
Here to infiltrate the techno game
and set the stage for the cyborg age

You cannot escape disaster. It will only be getting faster.
The only way Out is In! The only way In is Out! Try it any other way and remove all doubt!

Johan Ess is thy name
Why don't you read my fuckin' resume?

Track Name: Financial Assassins
[Bilderberg Groupies:]
----------------------
We're comin to yr town
Financial Assassins
We're comin to yr street.. WALL STREET
So you better get ready to feel the heat

[The Vengeful Proletariat:]
---------------------------
We're the ghetto-ized children of the crumbling West
We expect to get MORE while paying LESS
Shove it down my throat and make it free
I'll show you my gat if you add a small fee

Consume-Mart, it's the best place to shop
Credit Card, be the plastic we drop

[Pseudo-Revolutionary Futurists:]
---------------------------------
Financial Assassins
Reality Assassins
Paradigm Assassins
Assassin Assassins

[Idealistic Liberals + Corporate Media:]
----------------------------------------
We're coming to your house.. WHITE HOUSE
And we're gonna smoke all the bad guys out

[The Nagging Proletariat:]
--------------------------
Make it slightly ugly and I'll buy it
This New Gaming System will trigger riots
Trashy, jaded genetic garbage
spreading it around with a vengeance

[Akashic Gameshow Announcer + Voice of the Abyss:]
--------------------------------------------------
Now get ready for the infamous thoughtforms of materialism!

Track Name: A Treatise On Dionysian Oligarchy
In my darkest of hearts
In my deepest of nights
A dread creeps through me
That after this tremendous effort by US
It was all just a chess game for the oligarchs

You cant live with this inside you
You dont really know what to do
What I propose will not really change things
dont you know it will only re-arrange things

Here it comes
The era of decadent royalty

And so I'll leave you with a final thought
one last thought
seek out and support your inner
seamstress, gardener, and craftsman
good day
Track Name: Teh 8-Bit Standard
I make stupid chiptunes on a gameboy
and light the sky with my awesomeness
8-bit samples with reverb on them make me come
touching myself to the vibrations of e-drums

scene stars rock and roll hood caps
I want to be a scene superhero
and run around in my underwear in front of everyone

dial up modem jpeg gif disease
in the garage freebasing antifreeze
viral voicemail cancer dancers
suburban pothead transvestite romancers

Everyone, Everyone, Everyone, Everyone
Make some pixelated music that will make all the nerds get retarded

Give It Up, Give It Up, Give It Up, Give It Up
pour a 40 on the grave of your OG homies and baby mamas

Track Name: Three Postulates Of Worship
- First Postulate -

[socio-han m-ess-iah voice]

worship, worship him
i said worship, worship him
worship him day, worship him night
worship him now, worship him cause it's right

dont you disobey
dont you dare disobey

and he is the light bringer
the only one who can see

worship, worship him
i said worship, worship him
worship him day, worship him night
worship him now, worship him cause it's right

+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o

- Second Postulate -

[singing komputron]

surrender
why not give up, surrender?
dont waste your time thinking about it
you have much better uses for your mind

empty out your head
forget about the devine

for we are the bodhisattva
the downfall of belief

worship noone
why not worship nobody?
dont waste your time thinking about it
you have much better uses for your mind

+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o

- Third Postulate -

[Haywire Vokillz]

There is nothing to worship anymore
We will never worship anymore
So worship me! Worship me now
Worship me! Take a bow

We are your gods and we are your idols
Worship me Worship me now
Be your own God
Be your own Master

God this world is god this world is Dead
I hate the worshipping masses. Die!

Nothing left to worship.
Worship yourself we're going to
Worship ourselves we're going to
Worship Yourself

No Gods No Idols No Masters
