Your Twenty-Oh's Are Over... (***Filler***)
Audio Recording @:
https://soundcloud.com/jim-nut-roarin/your-twenty-ohs-are-over
So we’ve had enough of you
It’s time for something new
You just would never do
You couldn’t get us through
Your neutral looks won’t cut it anymore
Your trendy tights won’t cut it anymore
Your clitchy jokes won’t cut it anymore
Your retro nights won’t cut it anymore
Your industrial lofts won’t cut it anymore
Your starbuck walks won’t cut it anymore
Your militant boots won’t cut it anymore
And those yoga-mat packs won’t cut it anymore
[ chorus ]
It’s time for you to get off of google
Time to get off wiccapedia
Time to get off craigslist
And definitely time to get off of facebook
Flush your i-pad down the drain
Crush up and snort your crack-berry
Delete all of your playlists
Piss off all of your contacts
Just get off the fucking internet
Turn off the power grid
Get out of the surveillance
Rip out your micro-chip
Because you don’t need a gps
To know which way the sun sets...
Because there are better ways to get high
Than to always be on wi-fi...
[ chorus]
It’s time to choose beyond name brand
Time to act beyond the button
Time to see beyond the screen
Time to exist beyond the package
Because we need something more
Something more Continuous
Something less insinuous
Something to keep us warm
Because you no longer feed us
You no longer clothe us
You no longer house us
You no longer hold us
You no longer lead us
You no longer show us
You no longer free us
You no longer save us
[ chorus ]
It’s time to bring back content
Time to throw away form
Get rid of the expected image
Just breathe healing Metaphors
Because we need ugly actors
We need starving artists
We need insane writers
We need dead musicians
Because you don’t need flouzy starlets
Or all those latest bands
Because you need to change the tyres
With your own two bloody hands
Because your twenty-zeros are over
Your twenty-nothings are over
Your twenty-ohs are over
Your twenty-“doh!”s are over
Because the twenty-tens are here
The twenty-tens are now
The twenty-tens are real
The twenty-tens are hard
The power grid will burn out
The oil will run dry
Your paper money won’t buy a thing
Your condo will be a squat-house
wall street will be a ghost town
The heartland will be a desert
california will be on fire
new york will be a crater
The ice age is coming
Our germs will overtake us
The sun will eat the Earth up
The Milky Way turn black
The dark energy is coming
The anti-matter is rising
The balances will all be broken
And our concepts will destroy us
Before we can even get There
Before we can learn How
But I say there is still Time left
And it’s time for something new
We’ve had enough of you
You just would never do
I guess I’d say, “We’re through...”
It’s time to turn off reality tv
Time to start watching Eternity.
