wow
minimize, minimize Jah
minimize, minimize? Jah...
there must arise a Jah
there must arise a Jah
and rise...
you got to pay the price
those slender eyes,
those slender eyes
post-tender eyes
can't be denied
fly to the skies
of an accepted light
but life is fucked
fucked up...
so you cock it back
don't want no heart attack
don't want no C O R O N A blues
while you trust
you don't believe in love
you have to throw down
yrself
and if you propel
you won't go to Hell
like a rocket flame
to shame.
are you touché?
do (i) know yr name?
can we record this?
can we pass the fist?
to be a pacifist,
a pacifist.
so you see the curve
and you do swerve
from side to side
can't be denied.
and the roar of the coast
of which you boast
to all yr friends,
so-called friends.
to all yr friends
who make amends
while yr will bends,
while yr will bends.
while yr will bends
behind the wheel
of a Mercedes Benz,
a Mercedes Benz.
while yr will bends
and yr will bends
you do tend
to slop it up.
then you get fucked up
then you get fucked up
yr not Neil YOUNG
yr Neil old.
and man, you seem bold
and you raise yr voice
you don't have any choice
no choice.
but you do swerve
and you do curve
from side to side
can't be denied.
and you make it up
don't want to make it down
don't want to get scattered
all over town.
so you go down
yeah you go down
go down to a stitch
a stitch...
a still cry,
can't be denied,
go down them steps
down those steps.
to the waterside
can't be denied
that you feel a fear
yet you persevere.
2010
someone in rave
are in their grave
(i) hope not.
and you look out
and there's no doubt
that you'll sit down...
and shut up

who knows
when the Miss Rona comes knocking at yr door
easily paranoid
you don’t know what for
is this what you wanted
or did you want more
yr favourite black lighter is lying
on the floor
so you stand up to be counted and you slowly gently open the door
through the darkness, what for
but the darkness is part of the light
and it won’t necessarily bite
as you twist & turn
and you bend those guitar strings
and all the joy that spirals bring
cause yr spiraling out of control
and there’s a big sharp knife with a black spot on it
and the bag you brought her from is lying behind it
you fetch some as a pirate
cause you remember when you saw the Smashing Pumpkins back when they were great
before it was too…
late
you cut yr beard
with a big scissors you got in the living room
but they’re actually on the ground in front of you
and they’re sharp & they still have plenty of coins on top
and you wrap that paper up and you unwrap it
and you plug the scissors
and you gently put the coins on top of the 720 phone
cause 720 is double 360 and that’s two circles
and Lars has done two times 23
and that’s a number which means a lot to me
and I’m not the only one
so I put the scissors down on the table cause I’m done
with that analogy
and then I notice that it’s written on yr guitar
and I wonder is yr wisdom going to take us that far
and I hold the lighter in my hand & I light it
and I look outside & I ignite it
and what have I ignited but a flame of passion
a flame…
a blinking green light that knows yr name
and yr name…
I see a bit of a white light behind the green light
and the green light’s name turns the smartphone on & goodnight

throw away yr pain
blast me to the past
blast me to the past
blast it like a baseball bat
crushing up skulls
do you feel the pull
of tides that wax
and tides that wane
throw away yr pain
tides that wax
and tides that wane
there’s a fishing ship
feel yr pain
but you see shafts of light
it’s no longer
night
but they’ve got to catch
some fish in a squall
do you love them at all?
yeah of course you do
half-Dane half-Jew
or is this song about
you
but ‘you’ is an illusion
illusion
illusion
illuradiated time
encyclopedia says its goodbye
goodbye
all the so-called time

do not possess them
and so you pack
don't have a heart attack
cause you are black
yr never fucking going back
back to the zero
that shit's died you know
and everyone's scared to death
of their last breath
when (i) look around
(i) hear a powerful sound
of waves breaking on a beach
and love is within reach
how far did you reach
yr on a beach
cause you got things to teach
you don't want to breathe (breach?)
you don't want to breach
like a blackened peach
like a locker room, locker room squall
do you remember at all
that they say
they say that Lars is gay
and (i) say go chonk off
cause women they are my stuff
but (i) do not possess them
caress them
caress
like a private caress
like a J who is half blessed
no mess
you've been making a mess
but yr blessed
Jah bless
jobless
jobless
jobless
jobless
childless
(yr) jobless
kind of making a mess
and seeing it all come
in a cup
i borrowed from a punk
praise
pray
cause you skate
and yr hair
is long & square
in fact it's long & straight
ain't that great
the Universe tweets
bread & meat
and bring the volume down
and go to the fucking town
social relations
oppressive too
you half Dane half Jew
be a shaft of light
in the pale of the night
dissipate
anticipate
anticipate
can we dissipate
wouldn't that be great
spiral round
counter-clockwise wound
pack
taking it back
stone age bronze age back
lithium age attack
king of pills
and yr fucking mobile bills
making you pay
until you are gray
til yr hair's all falling out
and you pout
about it’s lost
about how yr life's been lost
wage slavery tossed
wages...
for ages & ages
ages & ages
ages & ages
age is in age
age is in age
what's yr bleeding age
and where are you from
and why are you acting dumb
acting dumb
acting dumb
acting dumb
and this wave has come
has come
has come
til we are done
we're never fucking done
with having fun
having fun
having fun
never ever done
and (i) scratch my head
and (i) wish they were all dead
but guess what
you don't have to be a slut
promiscuity's fine
in fact it's all divine
it's only Jews
and Christians & Muslims too
that see just one
just one
just one
just one
this song's for you
yr not half-Dane half-Jew
but you take a ship
with yr cocoa nibs
with yr cocoa nibs
cocoa nibs
to the land of the East
(i)'m not talking about yeast
not talking about the belly of the beast
talking about a peace
and walking's fine
walking too's divine
that just might be
no (i) don't think it you see
though there's a red shirt
and it's not dirt
yr sitting on the stone
padded Om
padded Om
padded Om...
if yr dry
roasted mix
dry roasting
roasted without
oil
made with sea salt 175 g
it's colourful you see
like red
someone who's not dead
walking three dogs
they're black as hogs
but no fear
no fear
please God no fear
or a lot of fear
a lot of fear
a lot of fear
now no fear
can make it's way in
out
that's what it's about
