shoot i'm back think fast there's no-one listening
been running for so long but covering no distance
well i've found the cure to all the world's wrongs
so i bid you adieu farewell so long
if they're comin' after me they best know where they're lookin'
if they're comin' after me they best know i wrote the book
shoot so fast point blank you know i hit it
well i always tell the truth you gone know if i done did it
put down the telephone
its not like you're holding the world in the palm of your hand
scared to go past so you scroll real fast
and you never ask
what they don't want me to know
feet so fast on glass oh god i missed you
we're gonna get it back you know there ain't no dispute
well suzanne she didn't like it but she barely even tried it
but what you gonna do she just loves the tribute
put down the telephone
its not like you're holding the world in the palm of your hand
scared to go past so you scroll real fast
and you never ask
what they don't want me to know
book my face my space you know you wanna click it
with all these halls and walls now where do i stick it?
well back in the day you had to buy before you tried
yeah you had to get it home before you found you didn't like it...
put down the telephone
its not like you're holding the world in the palm of your hand
scared to go past so you scroll real fast
and you never ask
what they don't want me to know

well you'd think that i would when i won't
i might look like i do when i don't
and if i don't call yet don't get upset cos i'm probably still in bed

and you don't need to be what they want you to be
look at me that's right
its all powerful
well you might think that i can but i can't
that's right i lied i don't know how to dance
well i move my feet kinda time with the beat
and i shake my thang real
faster than it should go no we go slow and everybody knows
he's having an episode
well i could probably stop if i cared
and you could probably start if you dared
you stay up all night and you really really try
but we both know you won't get
there be monsters and dragons baby
well the people that they live there they're the special kinda crazy
don't ever doubt it
tell the world all about it
gotta scream gotta shout

look at me that's right
its all powerful
feel it risin' come on feel it risin' come on
feel it rise - its all powerful
well you think that it'll last but it won't
you took a sip from the glass and its gone
then you heard a sound you quickly turned around
to be confronted by
nobody does it better baby
ain't nobody who does it this way maybe
don't ever doubt it
tell the world all about it
gotta scream gotta shout
its all powerful
and you don't need to be what they want you to be
look at me that's right
its all powerful
you bring it right down - take it back
you bring it right down - take it back

The Last Time
03:54
|

|
well here we go again
there's a million different people
and each of them
thinks they must be televised
and the feelings
they're so important to the people
and they feel them
with zero compromise
you know it won't be as the first time
yeah but we both know it won't be the last time
does it ever end?
well i'm surrounded by the stupid
oh there's hordes of them
stretched for miles on either side
well the people they
got their own expert opinions
and they're qualified
cos they've spent some time online
you know it won't be as the first time
yeah but we both know it won't be the last time
well here we go again
see me climbing out the window
just to get away
from the lunacy inside
i heard someone say
that the end is on the tele
you can purchase it
for £19.99
the end of the world is gonna be televised
the end of time is going out live tonight
you know it won't be as the first time
yeah but we both know it won't be the last time
does it ever end?
there's a million different people
and each of them
thinks they must be televised
they'll do anything
just to get their fifteen minutes
then they'll walk away happy
they've been immortalised
you know it won't be as the first time
yeah but we both know it won't be the last time
here we go again
still surrounded by the stupid
and not one of them
is gonna step aside
and if you don't believe
that this world's knee deep in trouble
then come on my friend
take a lil' look outside
you know it won't be as the first time
yeah but we both know it won't be the last time

it's a world of high fidelity computers making melodies

where'd we be without the internet
a hotbed of random sex some of it is fact checked
did you get online yet?
but don't you get a thing wrong
i don't think it'll be long
before you get the haters on
and then you have a ding dong
where'd we be without the internet

can i get a hell yes?
come up for air
squint in the daylight
all i see...
conspiracy

with all this information
my sanity is long gone
i got believe what my computer tells me
these magic beans the internet it sells me
come up for air
squint in the daylight
all i see...
conspiracy

it was so unexpected
this is my message in a bottle well i hope that you get this
said romero was right
i just happened one night
and then everything, well it was different
look they don't just walk they talk
they're doing their old jobs do you think they can be taught
to look after us when all of this fuss
has died down
well that's a bad choice of metaphor
look up and see all the skyflowers
see the light at night you'll be alright now
look up and see all the skyflowers
everybody's missing someone right now
now look at me you can tell i have real bad dreams
still i'm not blind to the possibilities

why should we just be living lets get rich instead
look up and see all the skyflowers
see the light at night you'll be alright now
look up and see all the skyflowers

see the light at night you'll be alright now
look up and see all the skyflowers

we got wi-fi, sy-fy, whatever you want guy
lil' mocrophone that you can plug into your hi-fi
keep on spinning the wheels like nothing's wrong
well it was nothing outrageous
nothing contagious
armageddon's happening live onstage at the pantages
the end it came up accompanied by song
you didn't do no harm you gone and bought the farm
the third times the charm well i told you...
i told you that the end was coming
think you know karma well this is karma the end it is coming i told you
i told you that the end was coming...
we got chip this scan that do you want your cashback
sir's looking so swish in his pointy tin foil hat
can you tell me where the hell did it all go wrong
cos i look goof feel great even rapped on first dates
i'm here to show you what's wrong with the youth of today
i don't know what the hell is going on
you didn't do no harm you gone and bought the farm
the third times the charm well i told you...
i told you that the end was coming
think you know karma well this is karma the end it is coming i told you
i told you that the end was coming...
well you're too tired too high a little bit too fried
don't remember last time that you went outside
but you think you know what's going on
i'm like be real you feel a bit like you're a big deal
then you come down and you're anxious for your next meal
this is not about you this is not about you
this is not about you that's the truth
you didn't do no harm you gone and bought the farm
the third times the charm well i told you...
i told you that the end was coming
think you know karma well this is karma the end it is coming i told you
i told you that the end was coming...

step to the forces there ain't no lost causes dumbfounded you're confined
times so i-relevant to the a-i elephant always stampeding
through your mind
we got chimpan-why and chimpanzee
and all those other lil' chimpans went down chimpan easily
but i couldn't eat a whole one
it turns me on that you think i'm a monster baby
misdirection was always the intention
left you ripped and torn apart
we're like llamas gonna spread a lil' karma
and spit straight into the eyes of the dog
well what about the quokka? it's cute i'll give it mercy
but with all these different people oh so few of them are worth it
you fell out of rank
you ain't no army ant - no longer working for that unseen queen
make like the red kite imagination takes flight
do you really believe in everything you see
you lose the clock-card brother it ain't hard
you ain't a rat running mazes for cheese
behold another fat cat sitting on a fat stack
greying hair dyed jet black never tried no payback
step into the lift with me
we take the plunge like the lemming into uncertainty
answer the call we're marching off to war
this is fight not flight this is tooth and claw
i said i'm like the sea anemone i'm colorful but predatory
and my spines they're gonna blow your mind
well don't lick the salamanders
got this plague of trash pandas
well there's more rats than there's people
and the dolphins understand us
so much better than they are letting on
they said so long thanks for the fish
and with a jolly song they're gone
but we both came like fish from the sea
its what connects you and me
so perhaps inevitably
do what we do for the good of the species
like the monkeys in trees
this world of freakish beauty
so perhaps inevitably
do what we do for the good of the species
no matter if you choose to believe
or if you live in that city
choose to love somebody
do it for yourself and not the species
we're just animals
we're just animals
so it for yourself and not for the species

that's not how you spell beaver
that's not how you spell beaver

so apolitical

and i think we can all agree the times are pretty goddammed strange
don't you know that we got this
well i say we got it
give me a minute to explain myself
you know it always helps
a bit of show and tell
its going oh so well
well the end is coming
and its not so fun
oh the end is coming
and its time to run
