they’re bugging me i’ve got no privacy and everywhere i go they record everything please stop it tell them this is absurd can’t even read a book without digital words there is no end the cloud obstructs the light grower larger and larger with no end in sight can’t even sleep in peace without their eyes on me always scanning and checking and scanning and checking there's no escaping just record-taking theres no refrain only the mainframe the wires strangle me and then they all dissolve they say it's just a figment and that it's been resolved constantly updating never turning back soon we won’t need to walk just watch our pets do that they want our insights they want our pleasures feed the machine translate them into numbers i don’t think so i won’t acquiesce i will hide all my thoughts and keep them close to my chest there's no escaping just record-taking there's no refrain only the mainframe

Dead Eyes 03:12
every time, i look into the faces the eyes are dead, the eyes are dead every step is a little bit closer to the green baby, the greed baby everybody, is a body just waiting to pretend to the very end and all the money will eat you alive and all the green in this world will still be around when you die and all the money baby will eat you alive and all the greed in this world will make you cry i dont wanna pretend anymore

Future 04:04
some days fade away others blossom like a great bouquet and theres nothing to say but okay some ways are far too strange better to feel them then try to change can’t put it into words but at least you heard we all want the future 'cuz the present don't matter tired of the same day try to rush it away now is the only time that really ever matters take a breath if time keeps moving and i keep dreaming eventually, it will be what is the future anyway? what is the future any way? we all want the future 'cuz the present don't matter tired of the same day try to rush it away now is the only time that really ever matters take a breath right here right now right here right now i took a walk down the street picked up some eggs and other food to eat was feeling good nature's satisfied and then i felt dead inside

everything is monochrome my fingers are sticky and i’m all alone but i can’t get enough i swear i’m in love with the smell of it (mighty mighty dollar) the moment i laid eyes on you all my idols crumbled i need some more i need a fix i need to get my hands on it i can taste it nothing in this world can compare not the water or the air oh no the mighty dollar is all that i can see someone please come set me free i get so sticky from bein around all this money mighty mighty dollar everything is monochrome i’m losing my senses and i’m all alone i wish you had a number i'd look you up and dial it until my fingers gave up oh yeah my world is created in your image i can’t stop staring what an honor and a privilege you give me more and more and all i do is take if only you knew how much it makes my heart break i can’t bare to share you no-one else understands your magnitude i get so sticky from being around all this money mighty mighty dollar and everywhere i go and everywhere i go and everywhere i go... that mighty mighty dollar the mighty dollar is all that i can see someone please come set me free i get so sticky from bein around all this money mighty mighty dollar set me free someone please come set me free i get so sticky mighty mighty dollar has got a grip on me i get so sticky someone come and save me save me
