GENEALOGY HACKMAN OK, now here is the plan: Four earth gods have formed this band. Each is named I Am Who Am. It's your duty to witness How war-gods become Gods of Creation. Imagination is born, mother of the Word Who begat the Flesh, Who gave Life to Death. It's all in the Book man Murder, prostitutes, incest, And love, and life, and laughs. We spilled the wine, we spilled our divine blood. The flooding rivers of Time yield the fourth dimension, Blurs vision. We sail this sea without a boat. We know ourself and we float. East winds blow our mind. Into the battle for love of the blind. OK here is our theory That's how we got to Erie. Hit Presque Isle Camped a while Lagoons yield entheogens Upwards is our direction Awareness is our mission Creating is how we cleanse Bar by bar.

EPICURIOUS GEORGE Wanna introduce you to my good friend. He says he’s independent, Of perceptions’ claims on what is real: Ain’t whatcha know, But how ya feel. He stands alone firm in his mind, There is no guilt where there is no crime. There is no doing hard time. There’s good and there’s bad. These are the only two paths. He who can’t count past 3, Survival, Emotion, Sexuality, Reigns from the City of the Shining Jewel. Answers the question, Who should rule? It’s all well and good, Agreeably understood. Self preservation is one with the will. There is no sin since there is no hell.

FIVE FOOT NOTHIN A HUNDRED N NOTHIN Countdown blast off, the voyage begins. Off with our heads, the mystery persists. Did we choose to be born, foreshadowed forewarned? Up to our necks in this mess! Look what I found: Apologetic thesis, On reasons to hate, Mices to pieces. Time to cast off, these itchy clothes. When will I stop? Nobody knows! Trapped in my head or out of my mind, Ain’t killin’ time! Damn I feel good – Mystic experience. Flesh that was word. Reality that pretends. The joke is always on me Irony makes me horny The punch line will set me free.

THE WHY I OUGHTTA SAGA Midway midway through Life’s journey’s taken me to A dark neighborhood Beaten defeated misunderstood. Listened to good and bad voices. Made some good and bad choices. If I knew then what I know now, I’d be the smartest guy in town. 3 beasts on 3 streets Won’t let me perceive The difference between What’s real and what… Seems to me like I’m going back to hell again Fuck GPS, I’ve got the poet Virgil man. So much to see when we’re running around. All I know, I’m feeling up as we go down. Oh the popes and presidents, The haters and the malcontents, But you know the biggest surprise? We are all alive! All these basic themes Keep reoccurring You want to know the truth? No difference between me and… You ever notice when you’re walking away, That the ending is the first thing you will recreate? Thought-a why I ought-a bang zoom, to the moon. But I can’t, disrespect, blow my wad too soon. But when I do, OH, when I do, don’t be dismayed, We’ve sanctified the womb in the Temple of Doom. But when I do, OH, when I do, God will say, It was as good for me, as it was for you.

FADE AWAY JERK HANDSHAKE Ah come on, time to ride, time to meet a stranger on the bus. Pink baseball hat and a fake fur coat. All that’s gold don’t glitter. Earthy tones, black gold bones, voice of stones Where what grows. How life goes. Yeah she knows. How to feel at home. You've all heard that perverted story Talking snakes and forbidden fruit They direct you to the god of the guilty Here's what they say if you ask about the truth Your call is important to us, who do you trust? Don’t think too hard, it’d be disastrous. Thinking critically is completely out of the question. Eat, shed your skin. See, without and within. Time to get naked and redeem original sin. In the garden of Eden honey Eve fulfilled our human nature The desire to know, and the will to create After eating that fruit We entheogenerate Eat, shed your skin. See, without and within. Time to get naked and redeem original sin. The Sun gives life. The One’s inside. Collective consciousness is eternally evolving our mind Pink baseball hat, fake fur coat, voice of stones Yeah she knows, where it grows, and how life goes The mouth breathers give themselves away Their peace be with you: a fadeaway jerk handshake

THE GREATEST GAME OF ASSHOLE EVER PLAYED We all need to drink. Soon we'll have to think. Here's to our white lies. Here's to our bright eyes. Come with us if you are thirsty. We're gonna make it rain. Crazy Lightning is sane. This flood is going to drown our soul. Because it's our one and only supreme goal. Toast it to Joseph, our brother the slave. He forgave - so let's play - his drinking game. But the rules change. Minds rearrange. Eat and drink. Rise and sink. Learn to think. Learn to think. How to die. The suicide that submits to alive. The president says drink five. Asshole! Realize! Don't nuke our imagination bro. Drink 8. Invoke our name. It's a game. You decided to play. Hey Jake, your ladder behold No need to take, sorrow down to Sheol Adam Ha Rishon We are become And getting there isn't half the fun. Time to explore the realm of forms. The Odessey of Theodicy It takes you to become me This thinking thing Creating thing Imagining Drink Infinity.

Former Indras Oh what a good boy I am. I understand God’s got a plan. I speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I am the prophet who bears good news. The information – is complex Communication – should raise awareness. When the words I choose don’t do it justice. It makes a really big mess. Because my idea of hell is a world that’s not fair. I appear in the flesh as the bad news bear. The information – should raise awareness. Communication – becomes complex So few care to know what's real. Don't dare tell them how they feel. Or when they self contradict Patterns of history will predict We will see it with three eyes The cities come alive Just want to share what I've found. You think I don't know how I sound? God returns as a clown The double rainbow Turns your frown upside down Gets you going home.
