hey gertrude! the sheep got out again!
music by brandon bermudez
words by reid rohr
great
don't you be ashamed
at least you don't talk
this arrangement's starting to fray
won't you please be my alibi
promise you won't say
what's the deal with the new sound?
can't we have the old sound back in action?
salesmen are savvy to this
all these tricks only tax my endeavors
this new revelation's going to stay
oh heavens no
shake it like a jackson baby
now it's all the hype because it's on the radio
i spy a gold everything
thieves tell tv
that liars awaited in long lines
for minds of their own
is that what you wanted to say
you did not speak clearly
you look so tired
ugly
are you doing alright?
quell them all
manifesto salvage the cause before they infiltrate
songs turn to mannequins with stunning features
cloned by a marketing team
so it begins
throw your stones
satisfy your wanton desires and fear the peace forever
cleanse - cleanse - cleanse
we end this now
precious time is wasted on garble spilt by hypocrites
show us the way back
open up and mouth the silent script
matchmaker find me a man…
i mean make me a match cuz i don't understand
i'm downright confused
i cut my hair right...
i wear my jeans tight...
it's not gay if you're in the same band
down by the bay
where the air is clean
you can grab your gal
and toss her in
she's sure to try to get away
so you've got to let her know it's either her or the baby
this is for every loud mouth wagging its tongue
every time you open up to let it reek
spare us from your cultish trends
unwarranted propaganda
if you buy what you sell
then you wouldn't have to push it on everyone else
of course it's not just an opinion
it's a way of life
dress yourself appropriately
and laugh at all the ways we conform
i'm declaring war on almost everything
it's about time for the changing tide
to sweep her children back to sea
you all look the same
but i'm the one who's conforming
you all sound the same
what happened to the music?

half dollar eyes
music by brandon bermudez and reid rohr
words by reid rohr
even out under the lights
just to hang by a thread for a spell
cross and step backwards
decent as time allows
call for a bow
backwash tastes best when it's dealt from the source
don't beg for more than regrets
name it a "chip off the ol' block"
we'll say "blame you next year"
every time the boat rocks we get sleepy
paint the boathouse with disease
sha ka ka sha na na
yeah, we doin' the tango
life be beautiful
lest we go and spoil it with our fancy dreams
(ra pa pa)
everyone stay calm
well my hope lies in nothing
nothing can erase this place
in here we all die each day at a time
every minute is like a year
every footstep brings the fucking ending
wild
could never even think about it
tried to catch the last train out bit it was too late
even the enzymes shudder at the endless guile
get well soon
ripe baby
take this all
i can't fake smiles as the elevator falls
but i feel happy
must have been a hundred letters stuffed in the glovebox,
but i'm not ashamed
it's come full circle
and bout to start around again
feed me to GOD
the echo found its way back through the hallway
right to where the symmetry ends
dispel magic
end this
come back to earth
stop feeding pigs
kill them
pause it
come back to earth

the soup that sickened the world
music by brandon bermudez and ian mccarley
words by reid rohr
happens all too often
although, i swear
don't you?
remember when we found
that all these years I've had a problem,
and it's swelled to a conviction
i'll stay a liar til i'm broke,
and then retire to my cell
oh fuck! i think i'm drunk but i can't tell
can you please take me home?
know when it's snowing there's nowhere to go
this loyal guardian one step behind us
sex tapes and rainbows all jam packed with kittens
jesus was a hypocrite
they caught the whole thing on tape
fetch me my waders and oxygen mask
my supper's cold again so i let her have it
think osama bin laden will send more planes my way?
somewhere there must be a line drawn in the sand
don't let them hear you, my dears
no good will come of it
keep watching nascar, my friends
stereotypes can be fun
keep your eyes on me
keep your eyes off the ball
'round every bend
"warily" the punitive reaction
as atonement - nurture creatures of defense
i think you forgot what we're pushing here
no?
you've just never touched it
so leggo my stereo
is this the fist of all that's amiss here?
somebody gotta stop the nonsense
cuz the end won't justify the means
take back your airwaves and television
beware!
evil!
ladies and gentlemen, step right up
we have a great show for you today
as you can see here in my right hand
i have a firm grip on the american public
while in my left hand
i have democracy
and here in the third hand,
that's right folks, third hand
we have your vote
and as you can clearly see
it's invisible
oh no!
they've let their sharp teeth show and it's all over now
yeah baby
even if the guns don't fix it
you know that the bombs will
maybe hitler had the right ideas
we'll never know now
(hell yeah)
GOD burn this country to the ground
hellish abyss
satan spreads his wretched wings
did i mention demons?
sincerely never!
you don't know but they won't show you now
so get deaf/dumb as we get wealthy
praise GOD
the messiah of war
it must be for our own good that they have been protecting us
trying to keep everyone calm
because if we only knew
even though you can't see them
the terrorists are everywhere
you should just consider yourself lucky that you've never lived
(insert correct answer here)
don't you have pride like we have pride?
see, these colors don't run
unless, maybe you're using water colors
won't you tell us something very scary?
can you conjure up more ghastly ghouls?
come on tell me how i'm brave
teachers tell us how we're free again

francis' toupee
music by brandon bermudez
words by reid rohr
unbridled merriment saves the day
but my mind won't shed its parts
closer to none
miss happy i noticed cramming fingers down her throat
fashionably dazzling white in lovers' smiles
the sting is temporary
frowns say it all
you're two minutes late for the sale of the day
lifelong ties of distinguished lads
separating finders from keepers
heave from the waist down
every craving has its good ends
the talk wasn't so cheap on the receiving end because the view has shifted
misconstrue philanthropy for parenting and stare at the sun
feed me valium instead of my air supply
happiness is always just a charge card and pen flick away
i need hand bags with parachutes for bartering
the lame
somehow all my dreams have taken flight
life is grand under the moon
rape woke me up
(and said) "you will all be stars!"
grab your purses clever whores
you gotta ride that big wave
ramble
you babble
do battle with camel toes
no one knows where i am going with this
i just had to force it out
last minute shit
whoever said the best things in life are free
never met my wallet-sized emphatic compatriot
for my trust and all that's good you give your faithlessness
for your entertainment
yeah?
bravo!
how they catch the attention
how expansive
the market is getting bold
how they softly entice us - oh
you always wanted
needed
by the throat
until you suffocate
now do that stripper's hustle
when it's safe enough to come flailing through
trace steps
dance to just keep up with, the tempo
tempo beats it alive
it's that groovy shit
kinda swank
so debonair
hip fresh
myriad of dancers
rolling to the dance machine
what a rampant plague
when the irony sets in we're already gone
how did we already come back to the start?
sifting through the pile
bastards came to poke at my brain
but i guess i'm not so confused
back again tomorrow i suppose
clear the path for glamor and holiness
bastards came to poke at my brain
the more you go and gush you swim
