Harmless Whacko
02:43
|
|||
|
On TV they laughed at my expense
If Jesus lived he’d be in my chair
Be part of the herd mentality
When you’re easily controlled then I’m set free
CHORUS
Everyone thinks I’m a harmless wacko
When it’s time to take over the world
When I make the case
About the hybrid alien race
(I’m the last one you’ll suspect)
Messaging programs the public
Controlled by food water air and drugs
Relations in high places rule the media
Pretend to be at war just for appearance
CHORUS
In human form or hide in underground caves
From Alpha Draconis we came
The more far-fetched my story the better
The less likely you will ever suspect me

It was during quarantine so I had plenty of time to read up
All about Pizzagate, how Trump was going to save us
As a girl who’s been abused, Lady Gaga it can’t be true
CHORUS
The whole world is telling me lies
The whole world is telling me lies
An online group I stumbled on with men old enough to be my uncles
Felt safe among these people fighting organised peadophilia
Said they liked my profile picture, they were interested in my opinion
CHORUS
I’m sick of Trump’s election campaign (I said) what about the children we’re trying to save
They turned on me, banned me from the group, insulted my Mum, called me a loser
When they started sending me death threats, maybe I’m not the one who needs/help

I'm Playing a Character
03:08
|
|||
|
In the school shootings no one died, it’s a hoax to get guns banned
Crisis actors claim they get death threats from my fans
They made me admit in court there were no lives that were taken
Say I have a psychosis and think everything is staged
….everything is staged
CHORUS
The truth doesn’t matter
I’m playing a character
It’s artistic licence
For a truth that’s higher
The White House has weather weapons control the power of storms
Hurricane Irma was engineered, make it look like Global Warming
Global warming is a sham the World Bank distorts the facts
For an international economy controlled through Carbon Tax
…If you wanna know the facts
CHORUS
My wife sought custody of our kids, says I’m felonious and unstable
She’s leaving town to take them away, concerned about their safety
I held my son as captive, illegal use of firearms
My lawyer says in court I’m just a performance artist
….I’m just a performance artist
CHORUS
The truth doesn’t matter
I’m playing a character
It’s artistic licence
For a truth that’s higher
I’m playing a character
The truth doesn’t matter
It’s artistic licence
For a truth that’s higher

Me and my playmate Osama
Put our shares into Jenga for fun
9/11’s a cry for attention
Planned as a promo stunt
Blow it up with model aeroplanes
I got all the best toys
Gave me a reason to go to war
Plundering for oil
CHORUS
All is fair in love and war
Been a pleasure doing business
Got my stockpile of weapons in store
Been a pleasure doing business
The Twin Towers used to be tallest
Sears Building stole the show
If I cannot be the winner
Take my Jenga blocks and I’ll go home
Blow it up with model aeroplanes
I got all the best toys
Gave me a reason to go to war
Plundering for oil
Why will no one fight me
Saddam is a coward
I’ll pretend he has a weapon
Push his statue onto the ground
Blow it up with model aeroplanes
I got all the best toys
Gave me a reason to go to war
Plundering for oil

The Lightbulb Moment
03:38
|
|||
|
The light bulb committee chairman back in ’72
Found the light bulb hanging from the Fire Station roof
120 years it burns, on permanent display
Keeps on shining yet another webcam is replaced
CHORUS
The Lightbulb moment. You'll never be happy!
You’ll only desire what you can discard
The light bulb moment – but before I cracked it
I would never have kept you in the dark
In 1924 the cartel went worldwide
Standardise the light bulb, the market to divide
Bulbs that break more often, everyone complies
Create a fragile filament or receive a hefty fine
CHORUS
You can own something new, a little better than the rest
Own something a little sooner than strictly necessary
U could buy a fine suit o’ clothes you could be married n buried in
But there is no desire without a low self opinion
CHORUS

Now You Understand Everything
I still have a cheque book cos I’m scared to use my pin
Never took an interest in politics til Trump got voted in
Wouldn’t use my Ipad for anything but Candy Crush
Since I’ve learnt how to send this text there’s so much to be done
CHORUS
Now you understand everything
Anytime you can spare
There’s videos that need to be posted
Knowledge that needs to be shared
Now you understand everything
There’s knowledge that needs to be shared
When President Obama got elected, Mum paid us to stay informed
Every night we had to watch Fox News and follow the Infowars
She is saving the foetuses Hilary wants to eat
I went to college and I’m brainwashed by some Marxist scheme
CHORUS
We blindly follow narratives the media wants to spread
We don’t have the awareness to stop the companies they’re in bed with
Foetus organs are harvested for pharmaceutical needs
Food additives, natural flavours and developing vaccines
Bridge
Assange exposed Hilary and helped Trump to win
If Trump wants to bring down the cabal, why’s Assange a criminal
When I travel to the Pizza bar and shot the door lock open
Where are the children trafficked for sex like the documents I decoded
Now you understand everything…...

Junky supplies are contaminated
How can we keep them at home?
Travel restrictions raise concerns
Trade routes are frozen
CHORUS
Free drugs, home delivered!
Weed, smack and grog
Pandemic, virtual prescriptions
Everyone’s getting on (with business)
Too many backyard laboratories cut
Impurities can kill
Keep the customers alive and happy
Not the rest of us at risk
CHORUS
I know it’s a system you could keep in place
Let the market provide
Who would you listen to applying pressure
Keep the drug trade alive
CHORUS
Bridge
None of your business killing customers
Keep the junkies alive
None of your business but good business
Keep them in supply
CHORUS

We Are Your Family Now
03:05
|
|||
|
CHORUS
We are your family now
Conquer control
Trump is a hero against the Deep State
And paedophile celebrities who worship Satan
There’s cryptic information in online posts
Only I can decipher so evil is exposed
CHORUS
I love Bernie Sanders anti-establishment stance
I thought Donald Trump never stood a chance
I tuned out of the mainstream when I lost hope
I’m an Info Wars soldier with Alex Jones
CHORUS
I hated my job pulled away from my friends
Brainwashed by prime time television
Said I sounded like a homeless bum
Shouting on a corner til Judgement Day comes
CHORUS
We are your family now
Waiting when you’re lost
We are your family now
Waiting when you’re lost
We are your family now
Conquer control

On its axis every hour a thousand miles they reckon
Around the sun the globe it spins a hundred miles a second
Solar system’s flying sideways at half a million miles
Galaxy goes double that speed, you’re supposed to take it in your stride?
A giant planetarium covered in a dome
A Hollywood backdrop, much larger scale than the Truman Show
On a flat circle the south pole’s just ice around the edge
Sun and Moon rotate on a rod, lights at opposite ends
CHORUS
The Solar System and the Galaxy
Centre of the Universe
The Solar System and the Galaxy
Around you everything turns
Illuminati, Chemtrails, Elvis is Alive
Flat Earth was the last book on the shelf to try
You get to a level of education, the system’s in control
A teacher can’t say the Earth is flat if he wants to keep his job
A flat Earth merchandise bat smacks a rubber globe
Morrisey’s not a Flat Earther yet but there’s still hope
In our mother’s basements they claim we all live
We need our own dating sites now, it’s such a paradigm shift
CHORUS
Bridge
To be misunderstood and always feel alone
I will take you seriously, make you the star of the show
CHORUS
Centre of the Universe
Around you everything turns

You get symptoms without the virus
(And the virus without symptoms)
You get symptoms and be harmless
(Or contagious without knowing)
Kids are most likely to spread it
(Children should go to school)
Parents should still go to work
(But everyone stay at home)
CHORUS
__You can stop the virus spread if no one gets infected
(Nothing happens in isolation)
__You can stop the virus spread if everyone’s infected
(Nothing happens in isolation x2)
Stock up on things you need
(Don’t buy more than normal)
Sealed groceries must be cleaned
(Takeaway food is safe)
Meet none of your friends in public
(Strangers are safe at a distance)
Masks and gloves will not protect you
(it’s an insult not to wear them)
CHORUS
Uninfected can test positive
(Or negative when you’ve got it)
Stay 2 metres from everybody
(Unless on a crowded bus)
Animals are not affected
(Except 2 cats and a tiger)
Stay 2 metres away from tigers
(Even on a crowded bus)
CH x2

I’m your town’s most popular talk show host
Told to lay off politicians
I had to start broadcasting from
My home internet connection
All the social media have banned me
Said I glorify violence
Against Muslims and Transgender people
Watch out we’re ready with our rifles
CHORUS
As much as they try to silence me
The more my point is proved
As much as they try to silence me
They’re afraid of the truth
Black NFL protest the National Anthem
Are kneeling to White Genocide
There’s a chemical warfare operation
To make white people sterile
I sell brain pills for anyone
Who believes Armageddon is nigh
I don’t need to rob banks like other revolutionaries
Demand for supplements is high
CHORUS
I’m your town’s most popular talk show host
Told to lay off politicians
I had to start broadcasting from
My home internet connection
Big Tech will throw you in digital prison
Click my newsletter to subscribe
You can get all the info those in control
Are so desperate to hide

We’re imprisoned and divided up by countries, genetic slave race engineered
The alien reptile overseer was the serpent in the garden of Eden
Space lizards move through dimensions, shapeshifting in and out of sight
The human beings in power are hybrids in the visible spectrum of light
CHORUS
They say Mum’s a shapeshifting lizard, does that mean I’ll be one too?
Keep an eye out for change of appearance, hard to know what is true
Cold blooded without emotion on the blood of human children they feed
Genes must not be compromised, that’s why they all interbreed
Is it true what they say about Mum? they bully me in class
If Mum’s a shapeshifting lizard, when’s her secret knowledge get passed?
CHORUS
Bridge
Is it true what they say about Mum? they bully me in class
If Mum’s a shapeshifting lizard, when’s her secret knowledge get passed?
