Cameron F. This album is something else. It is technical, brutal, and also even groovy at times. I can hear so many influences from many different styles but they all come together as something unique and driving. There's a lot going on here and it's all fucking brilliant. Favorite track: My Bong Water Is Blood.

kevin Berger This album is a total trip! These guys are a deep well of talent and musical knowledge. The variety of styles/sounds displayed in each song is nothing short of goosebumps. As great as they are, I love the 'don't take ourselves too serious' vibe with the track names!! Favorite track: Obamas And The Papas.

(Watch the lyric video on our Youtube page at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHORCtXvefo) It’s all I see—We’re zeroed in on the top of your ladder And we will take you down—It’s all I see Trying to put faith—In doing the right thing Our protests are televised and tracked and sold Our money goes to weapons that grow to protect Economic cogs in a row Tanks for the pack, Tanks to protect Our protests are televised and tracked and sold Our money goes to weapons that grow to protect I see you—We are the few Yes, you are chosen—Now shed that ego fast Their power is false—Their towers are weak You are causality Tearing down walls—As the rains come down Tearing down walls—As the rains come down Your voice is heard—Don’t believe in false control We don’t see money as an end goal Trying to put faith—In doing the right thing Time and time and time again, Time and time and time again Trying to put faith—In doing the right thing Our protests are televised and tracked and sold Our money goes to weapons that grow to protect Economic cogs in a row Tanks for the pack, Tanks to protect Our protests are televised and tracked and sold Our money goes to weapons that grow to protect I see you—We are the few Yes, you are chosen—Now shed that ego fast Their power is false—Their towers are weak You are causality Tearing down walls—As the rains come down Tearing down walls—As the rains come down They’ve already summoned the rain Your bunkers are not safe They’ve rained away our lives while poisoning the well We will have our revenge—It’s all I see We’re zeroed in on the top of your ladder And we will take you down

(Watch the lyric video on our Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4odwxTL6CA ) Are you coming back? Are you coming back enlightened? Are you coming back at all? It’s time—It’s space Learning not to dumb ourselves down—When we can help it Learning not to dumb ourselves down—When we can help it It takes time—It takes time Learning not to dumb ourselves down---When we can help it I can’t think Too many paradoxes all around, mixed with the blatant injustices that never seem to resolve Only repeat with more structure and ignorance I can’t stop thinking Only repeat with more structure and ignorance—Self chosen some---Sheltered some I can’t think Too many paradoxes all around, mixed with the blatant injustices that never seem to resolve Only repeat with more structure and ignorance I can’t stop thinking Only repeat with more structure and ignorance—Self chosen some---Sheltered some I can’t stop thinking You think that you’re right---Well, you’re dead fucking wrong on this occasion You’ve never been right Are you coming back? Are you coming back enlightened? Or are you just a piece of time and space? Time—Space--Time--Space Are you coming back? Are you coming back enlightened? Or are you just a piece--? Are you coming back? Are you coming back enlightened? Or are you just a piece of time and space? Time and space

(Watch the lyric video on our Youtube page at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvOZhzg-vWo) My Bong Water Is Blood Big Business has infringed upon expansion of thinking, revolutioned living But we’re taking our time in taking ourselves down Let’s be some of the few to enjoy the ride As we dismantle the products that we sell for our distraction and doom Evolving our minds doesn’t have to involve your micro-chipped dollar signs Or stock status finds Side tracked dealings, Side tracked souls Burn your dollars and smoke Side tracked dealings, Side tracked souls Burn your dollars and smoke My hands are trembling Earthen ground, accept my body—Welcoming Blow smoke into the eyes of the wholesome fool We can see you through Blow smoke into the eyes of the wholesome fool Goddess still my mind—My hands are trembling Earthen ground, accept my body welcoming Darkest depths of space-time bend Planes of death are not the end Goddess still my mind—My hands are trembling Earthen ground, accept my body welcoming Darkest depths of space-time bend Planes of death are not the end The smoke eyes fill the room We can see now—We can see you through The smoke eyes fill the room You drop down—You drop down Side tracked dealings, Side tracked souls Burn your dollars and smoke Side tracked dealings, Side tracked souls Burn your dollars and smoke We were there—We were there My hands are trembling Earthen ground, accept my body—Welcoming Blow smoke into the eyes of the wholesome fool We can see you through Blow smoke into the eyes of the wholesome fool Goddess still my mind—My hands are trembling Earthen ground, accept my body welcoming Darkest depths of space-time bend Planes of death are not the end Goddess still my mind—My hands are trembling Earthen ground, accept my body welcoming Darkest depths of space-time bend Planes of death are not the end (Eternal Energy) My hands are trembling Earthen ground, accept my body—Welcoming

Reaching the sky This time I don’t think I’m—Coming down Reaching the sky This time I don’t think I’m—Coming down It could take me 7 years—To black out and rewire Keeping it together’s become a full-time occupation No more time for—Being tired God doesn’t have time to waste on miniscule pieces of fate Still feels like the first day—Everyone left me It could take me 7 years—To black out and rewire Keeping it together’s become a full-time occupation We’re just keeping it together We’re just keeping it together The hips and the pull—Dripping more sweat Open minds—Open legs The breath of the ride—My breath in yours The dream is ours—Before we met and after we die The dream is ours—Before we met and after we die Inside and over—Tighten the grip and loosen the hold Inside and over—Tighten the grip and loosen the hold Reaching the sky This time I don’t think I’m—Coming down Reaching the sky This time I don’t think I’m—Coming down It could take me 7 years—To black out and rewire Keeping it together’s become a full-time occupation No more time for—Being tired God doesn’t have time to waste on miniscule pieces of fate Still feels like the first day—Everyone left me

Storms are waking up—The rain is coming through Waters wash away all that’s left of you Torn in—Multiple ways leading up to more—Unknown Pleasure in its purest form I see you undress—I’m on the road again It’s a crime to leave you this way Torn multiple ways We must protect this life We pound and crush---From rock to dust It’s pulsing—Do we deserve a bit of mercy? Corrupt so obviously Deniers of the storms that crush As the world itself As the world itself turns on the economic fall Deniers of the storms that crush As the world itself As the world itself turns on the economic fall Storms are waking up—The rain is coming through Waters wash away all that’s left of you Torn in—Multiple ways leading up to more—Unknown Pleasure in its purest form I see you undress—I’m on the road again It’s a crime to leave you this way Torn multiple ways We must protect this life We pound and crush---From rock to dust It’s pulsing—Do we deserve a bit of mercy? Corrupt so obviously Deniers of the storms that crush As the world itself As the world itself turns on the economic fall Deniers of the storms that crush As the world itself As the world itself turns on the economic fall The patterns are shifting The 1% is appearing finally Telling us what they’ve always thought What we already knew The patterns are shifting The 1% is appearing finally Telling us what they’ve always thought What we already knew The patterns are shifting The 1% is appearing

In these moneyed times—There’s no interest There’s no interest—In your education There’s no interest—In your ability to speak In your ability to eat There’s no interest—In your ability to get by Talk about not repeating to myself Done it before, never done it before This time, can I listen to myself? Not ruin what I’ve built Never done it before—Never done it before This time, can I listen to myself? Not ruin what I’ve built Never done it before—Never done it before A new age of openness And we understand what’s right—And we understand what’s right We read the same philosophies Now give me smoke and dark The laws don’t speak for us anymore Want to believe—Then belief is crushed by money—And indifference Rules and laws—Against protests Rules and laws mean nothing to them The numbers—The reason Anything you do, it matters Each step, don’t second guess—Don’t second guess Anything you do, it matters Each step, don’t second guess—Don’t second guess Anything you do, it matters Each step, don’t second guess—Don’t second guess

(Watch the lyric video on our Youtube page at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5hrDbXxfkY ) There’s always a fool In even the most progressive, evolved group There’s always a fool So don’t blame the group Understand the monster—They’ll tell you Understand I refuse—To stop learning To reach across—A fabricated aisle Evolving didn’t end with your laws or your lack of reading books Monster’s just a definition Understand the monster they’ll tell you Monster’s just a definition Understand the monster they’ll tell you Isn’t evolution what’s happening all around? I want evolution of the mind See other sides There’s always a fool In even the most progressive, evolved group There’s always a fool So don’t blame the group Understand the monster—They’ll tell you Understand I refuse—To stop learning To reach across—A fabricated aisle Evolving didn’t end with your laws or your lack of reading books Monster’s just a definition Understand the monster they’ll tell you Monster’s just a definition Understand the monster they’ll tell you Isn’t evolution what’s happening all around? I want evolution of the mind See other sides We can evolve—If we breathe oneness and agree Recognize no ideal is truth Except can’t we stop killing each other? Or can we really not stop killing each other? We can evolve—If we breathe oneness and agree Recognize no ideal is truth We can evolve—If we breathe oneness and agree Recognize no ideal is truth Except can’t we stop killing each other? Or can we really not stop killing each other? Monster’s just a definition Understand the monster they’ll tell you Monster’s just a definition Understand the monster they’ll tell you
