In the land where nothing's sacred
Where the doctors make people sick
If you stand on your head
you might see things more clearly
But then again you might become
addicted to conflict

I...I have a problem
I know that lawyers cause all the crime
And the banks make the drugs flow
The priests make the porno
And you might be responsible
for poisoning the sunshine

Names have been changed
to protect the guilty
Names have been changed
What is the difference
between apathy and ignorance
I don't know and I don't care

In the land where nothing is free
Where the homeless are the brave
Where the females are equal
as long as they're macho
And all the shopping malls
are built on Indian graves

You have the right to remain silent
You have the right to refuse to vote
Can you tell me the difference
between the two parties
Believe it or not    Believe it or else
Hope leads to dope

What is the difference
between apathy and ignorance
I don't know and I don't care

I agree with everybody
Football is sex and soup is good food
And new cars are religion
and beer is emotion
And everyone's a nobody
and nobody's perfect

I don't want to control myself
   (You don't have to control...)

I greet the god    Within your id
Nothing matters now    and so what if it did
Break loose    Get wild    Be wrong that's right
Uncomplicate your life if just for one night

That was rock but this is roll
This is shock but that was soul

You don't have to control yourself

Do you have to control yourself
(I don't have to control myself)

This is the place    This is the time
Time to lose control
and start changing your mind
This is a clue    This is a sign
Mine could be yours and yours could be mine

This is then but that was now
This is then but that will be now

What time is it, boys and girls?
It's time for the Dark Ages!

Your nightmares and traumas
can make you rich and famous
Commercials can teach you
all that you need to know
Kiss my flag    Don't look back
The past is gaining on us
Read my lips    Watch my hips
These are the Dark Ages

George Orwell's dream came true
But no one realizes
It crushed us so nicely
with so much wit and style
Entertainment might as well be
just like a rocket launcher
Too bad it's in the hands of the enemy
Nobody believes me
And so I know that I'm right
Charisma addiction gives me a deja vu
Is this like Germany in the 1930s?
Do we have to live through the apocalypse again?

Might be the Dark Ages
But we're so happy
Happy to be here today

You never know when you
might have to face the censor
So I don't pretend to
want to make too much sense
Revolution on TV
in far-off distant countries
Too bad it's just another mini-series here
Nobody believes me
And so I know that I'm right
Charisma hangover
has got to wear off soon
Could this be like Eastern Europe
in the 1990s?
Will we ever get a chance
to have Perestroika here?

Kiss my fax
hug my trees
Go both ways
Then you'll see
In past lives
I was you
and you were me
and we were an atom bomb

The fractals are humming
The smart drugs are coming on

Crack my code
and download
your hardware
in my software
Let's pretend
it's the trend
sex with friends

You're my furnace of nuclear love
Make me meltdown
'cause I am in the mood
Heavy metal New Age love and peace
go together
just like you and me

Wash my brain
Nuke the whales
Feed my god
Save the males
Let's pretend
it's the trend
Car phone sex
Sex with friends

There used to be nothing here
except the Indians and buffalo
But my ancestors had a dream of a better life
As far as the eye could see
nature was the enemy
But now these mountains of burning garbage
keep me safe warm and dry

When all the fossil fuels disappeared
it was hard for the first few years
But my ancestors were ingenious and found a way
Now as far as the eye can see
there's raw power and energy
and these pyramids of burning garbage
light up the night sky

I live in Garbageland
My name is Garbageman
I love my native land
I own all the garbage here in Garbageland

You've seen one tree you've seen them all
You can wipe your ass with a spotted owl
And I don't miss the ozone layer
or the butterflies
In the old days the sunsets were dull
Now they're black and blue and green and beautiful
And these pyramids of burning garbage
light up the night sky

When your brain becomes a dumping ground
for hundreds of little slogans and jingles
When everyone in the world seems to be
thinking their thoughts inside your head
When your mind's so crammed with useless facts
that you can't even feel your own feelings
It's time to fight back and say

Get outta my head    Leave me alone
I wanna think my own thoughts now
Get outta my head    I'm never alone
My brain feels like a radio
Get outta my head    It's not my fault
I never asked to feel this much
Get outta my head    I can't hear you
Abraham Lincoln is talking to me

Get Outta My Head "Privacy Enforcers"--
for the discriminating paranoid
The Get Outta My Head Protection Plan--
Don't leave home without it

I wish you could feel what I'm feeling now
I feel so sensitive, so vulnerable
Slogans running through my brain
like pretty nightmares and novocaine
Propaganda in my brain
takes control of my arms and legs
Makes me say things I don't understand
Makes me afraid of the Fatherland
What you looking at...Don't look at me
I'm invisible...You can't see me
What you looking at...I'm invisible
Don't even try to get inside my head

The Get Outta My Head "Cloak of Invincibility"--
for the discriminating paranoid
The Get Outta My Head Protection Plan--
Don't leave home without it

I rolled over in bed to touch her head
She was mumbling in her sleep
And I listened close to everything she said
She was dreaming about the rocks and trees
bleeding everywhere
And I wrote down every single thing she said
And she said
The spirits of the earth
are so hungry for justice    They cry
And the spirits of the sky
are with us tonight    And they cry

In a crisis we cut away
what we don't need anymore
In the good times we fight our way
We fight our way inside
In a crisis we cut away
what we don't need anymore
In the good times we find our way
We find our way back home

I rode my bicycle by her house
She was gardening in the dark
Singing to the green beans and the beets
She was wearing her high heels
Chopping the high weeds
Dealing out life and death
And I wrote down every single thing she said
And she said

And I followed every dream she dreamed
Everywhere she led
And I wrote down every secret thing
Every word she left unsaid

The spirits of the earth
are so hungry for justice
They cry
And the spirits of the sun
are lined up on our side
And they cry

As above    So below
Kick in that open door

Stand back    Stand aside
We might not have God
but we've got love on our side
Love rhymes with above
Love    love    love    love
Say it a thousand times
Take back the night
with maximum feeling
Make louder love
Tempestuous noises
Make more of us
More lovers    More choices

Kick in that open door
with maximum feeling

   Were you afraid
We were in our wildest dreams
   Did you run
We ran right towards the danger
   Did you reach the other side
We laughed    We cried
   Were you proud
We were not thinking of ourselves
   Did you wish for more
We wanted love    We wanted everything

Jump in    Don't stay outside
We might not have guns
but we've got butter on our side
Love rhymes with above
Love love love love
Say it a million times
Take back the world
with maximum feeling
Make bigger love
Ecstatic noises
Make more of us
More lovers    More voices
(Kick in that open door)
with maximum feeling

Love love love love love love love
Say it a thousand times Do it a million times

Ommmm Shanty Town
Welcome to the K-Mart Tribal Ballet
It all started in a small town in South Africa called Johannesburg
And quickly spread through the first world,
Third World, fourth dimension
and seventh heaven
Forever and ever    Amen

My body is bread in a holy war
Change    Change    Change    Change
My body is love in a holy store
Your body is God and I want some more now
Your body is money and I'm spending it now

Kick your own ass    Now    Now
Kick your sweet ass    Now

No pride    No fear    No shame
Your body never lies
No guilt    No sin    No blame
Your body never lies
No grudge    No spite    No greed
Your body never lies
No gloom    No doom    No doubt
Your body never lies

The K-Mart Tribal Ballet all started
when I was only 10 years old
and I was in a K-Mart
in Johannesburg, South Africa
This was not a dream
This was completely real
I was in the only K-Mart
in Johannesburg, South Africa
and I could not find my mother
And the blue light was flashing
And my head was spinning
And I could hardly breathe
And everywhere I turned
there were white white white people
and sickly sweet smells
And the white white white saleslady
was in my face snarling
Can I help you    Can I help you
Can I help you    Can I help you
And I was out of luck
But just when I thought
that I could not go on
I looked up into the blue light flashing
And I saw a vision
of the Wild Black Virgin of Johannesburg
And she looked down at me and said
HONEY,    KICK    YOUR    OWN    ASS

The Marlboro Man is dead.
Long live the Marlboro Man!
In our dreams he remains the hero
of a thousand billboards,
the ultimate salesman
for the sexy macho flame of death.
Yes, the original Marlboro Man is gone,
but his son, the Marlboro Man, Jr., lives on--
going boldly where his father
never dared to go...

The Marlboro Man has come again
His kingdom has no end
This time around he's selling something new
It's called the Spiral Slam Dance Fever
And it's like therapy
It's guaranteed to make you act the fool

Proud Americans do your holy dances
(Make a fool of yourself)
Strange Americans do what you must do
(Put the broomstick between your legs)
Wild Americans tear down your defenses
(Make a fool of yourself)
Proud Americans do your HOLY    HOLY

The Marlboro Man understands
what dancing's all about
He learned it from the ancient astronauts
He makes a fool of himself
in the biggest proudest way
He gives it all he's got
He takes it all away again

Breathe into the feeling...1...2...
(Ride the broomstick
in the Spiral Slam Dance Fever)

The Marlboro Man can spit into the wind
and not get sprayed
He smokes and smokes and smokes
But he never coughs
He loves martinis with his brown rice
and sex with his TV
Committing crimes that don't break any laws
No truth or consequences

He was walking in a graveyard
It was dawn on a holiday
She was dancing alone
on the top of the gravestone
Looking for someone to pray to her

He said
Dream girl, look down on me
Dream girl, shine on...shine on me

He went to the ultimate PTA meeting
A thousand single mothers were there
His dream girl came
and sat next to him and said,
What are you doing
with those underpants on your head

Dream girl, look down on me
Dream girl, shine on...shine on me

There's a war going on inside your body
Your mind's going along for the ride
Rise up citizen
Stand up boy
For your sake if not for mine
There's a war going on inside your body
Your mind's going along for the ride
Rise up citizen
Stand up boy
Get your dream and reality combined

He was begging door to door
for some radical cause
When he saw his dream girl shine
She was shining up the furniture
with mayonnaise
He said, Dream girl, be mine
be mine all mine

She looked at him and said,
Gitchie-gitchie goo
For a man you're kinda cute
But tell me what you trying to do
to save the world
I am worshiping you dream girl

holy holy holy holy
god of euphoria
i own all the garbage in America
i'm President of Infomania
so give me what i want
exactly when i want it
forever    now    once upon a time

i wanna use my nightmares
to get rich and famous now
i want to brainwash my own brain
don't want to be told how
more original sins
and more beautiful pain
find the treasure in the trash
and sing in the acid rain
so give me what i want
exactly when i want it
forever    now    once upon a time

holy holy holy holy
god of America
i want a new mania
that tells better lies than the media
i want my own satellite
World Entertainment War every night
live on prime time    no commercials
this is just a dress rehearsal
greater glories yet to come
a golden age    thy will be done
on earth as it is in 7-11
don't want to have to go to heaven
heaven must come down to earth
this is my prayer    for what it's worth
give me what i want
exactly when i want it
forever    now    once upon a time

holy holy holy holy
god of female ecstasy
to show my love for Mother Earth
i hug the trees and eat the dirt
now i demand a woman chief
of the USA and MTV
women got to be on top
in the bed or on the job
give me what i want
exactly when i want it
forever now once upon a time
god you're great and god you're good
and i thank you for this mood
grant me this unselfish wish
everybody in the world gets a satellite dish
choose from half a billion stations
truly sexy information
not the tease-and-frustrate kind
of i, me, my, mine
but a genuine democracy
where people vote for ecstasy
and April Fool's comes every day
give me liberty or give me Chevrolet
legal highs not legal lows
everybody gets a crazy horoscope
global warming in my pants
all the monsters learn to dance
turn the whole world upside down
help me god i don't know how
give me what i want
exactly when i want it
forever now once upon a time
give us what we want
exactly when we want it
forever    now    once upon a time

There'll come a time
when your bones get weak
Your lungs get wheezy
and your knees start to creak
Your hands won't do what you tell them to
And your heart gives in to the beat of
why-not-slow-down-and-die

But the breath of death may never come
if you tune in to the serpent hum
Visualize the cool blue light
Live again on the other side
Break the doors of perception down
No drugs required    Eternal Now
The danger point brings out your best
Refuse to rest
And you will never die

Snake Dance of the old people

There's a secret    There's a trick
Preserve your body and never get sick
Love from lust and joy from pain
Raise your sex up to the top of your brain
The highest point inside your dreams
Where the silence begins to scream
Live again on the other side
You're immortal
You will never die

and 1 and 2 and ebb and flow
and 3 and 4 and wax and wane
and 5 and 6 and be reborn

Don't kill your television yet
Have another cigarette
in your imagination
Tiger    tiger burning bright
Take back the airwaves of the night
in your imagination
The world is young    Your soul is free
Don't be afraid of the TV
in your imagination
Making love with holograms
Swallowing a million grams
of your imagination

Television    television
Televisionary    television

Activate your love spells
Synchronize and reverse your hells
Agitate your alligator brains
Rip into the heart of the pain
In your televisionary dreams
Your imagination's always free
To turn the spirit of the television inside out
This is what it is all about

Love song for my little terrorist
The way you look at me
is like a deathly kiss
Every time I see myself in you
I remember why I created you
Relax    Be brave
Take back the airwaves

Television is the light of our lives
Television is the light and the law
and the love of our lives

Love song for my little monster child
You look just like me
You've got my eyes and smile
Like flying saucers or Jesus Christ
You bring out the best in me
You make me pay the price
Relax    Be brave
Take back the airwaves

Television is the light of our lives
Television is the light and the law
and the love of our lives
Television is the light of our lives
And we will heal it of all of its lies

There are 8 million stories
about sex and violence
and I've heard them all
In this naked city    if it sells a million
then it must be true

It's time for celebration
Got to make a demonstration of our rights
And it's time to fight
We want some better stories
No boring glories    No more easy lies

Transmission is my ambition
Like a real magician    Not a politician
Transmission ambition magician conspiracy
Conspiracy for unity

If we started at opposite ends of the dial
and slowly turned
Would we meet in the middle of a story
that burned the book of love?

The rebels joined the system
They revel in the twisted song of pain
The pain that has no name
We've got some better stories
No boring glories    No easy lies

They have ways to make us watch
They have ways to make us talk
They have ways to make us disappear
We have ways to look away
We have ways to disobey
We have ways to make them hear the music

There are 8 million stories
about sex and freedom
And I want them all
In this naked country if we sell a million
Then we will be true

We have ways to celebrate
We have ways to agitate
We have ways to make them hear the music

This is the ultimate prayer
for anybody who cares to believe
that this is a perfect moment
and this is a perfect moment
and this is a perfect moment
And we love you more than we love you

Let me hear you say YAYA
YAYA LALA
YAYA LALA GAGA
YAYA LALA GAGA MAMA PAPA HAHA

You can have anything you want
if you'll only ask for it
in an unselfish tone of voice
Take back the airwaves
