Jaguar Gods (Dredge)

from Help Yourself by Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

This is a very exciting collaboration for me. Matt Harris has done a very Stereolab style version of the song Jaguar Godz. And check out the Liam Gallagher vocals, ha ha.

The great thing about this project is the way it's keeping us all connected and creative. A further dimension to the collaboration is that the song is inspired by our mutual friend Rich Gohl and the story he wrote in his novel Digital Venous

Lyrics:

No one hates the subs more than me, but the Jaguar Gods took it to extremes
Is that what you call getting real?
Don’t care for history or recognize, the first century of my life (get real)
No one hates the subs more than me
But the Jaguar Gods took it to extremes, is that what you call getting real?
People used to live under blue sky
Eat, drink, have children and die, people used to live under blue sky (get real)
Is that what you call getting real? (get real)

CHORUS
Beyond mere fantasy now at last you’re free
Is that what you call getting real? (get real)

Is that what you call getting real, the Jaguar Gods took it to extremes
No one hates the subs more than me,
When food ran out on the surface, we merged technology in life eternal (get real)
If you’re too poor don’t blame me, Nano Enzyme Therapy, no limit to the virtual sky, get real
The scum all went Subterranean (get real)
Underground for the old ways again, the scum all went Subterranean
Is that what you call getting real? (get real)

CHORUS

No one hates the subs more than me, but the Jaguar Gods took it to extremes
Wanna live forever, then get real
Physically augmented weirdos, not just any ol’ fashionistas (get real)
The Jaguar Gods took it to extremes,
Your mandatory daily Telesync, is that what you call getting real?
Play a game: torture, rape and murder
But Jaguar Gods aren’t into virtual, they’re gonna get real when they hurt ya (get real)
Is that what you call getting real? (get real)
