I took on rhythm... as religion
I took on groove... as a messenger
I try to rock like Canadian Shield
I try not to run like a river now. Just let it flow
Ah, let it rumble. The lost boy rumble
And after I resurfaced, I still had these!
I had these MIDDLE CLASS WHITE-BOY BLUES!
I've got those LAME-ASS WHITE-BOY BLUES!
"What do I have to complain about?!?"
I don't know!? I have a house, a Mom & Dad
I'll tell you right now, I feel real bad.
What am I gonna do?
An inspiration. You shifty mistress
You only use as you acted the muse
I got lost in illusion. Totally Confused.
An inspiration. You shifty mistress
You only used as you acted the muse
I've got my own disillusion, and totally confused
What the preacher preached, got lost on me
With his hand outstretched, to sanctify me
As long as I paid for his car, I got the best Sunday Seat!
You gotta pay to pray. And I prayed , and prayed, and prayed
I prayed the rosary
I used to pray to Jesus
He never told me shit!
I went to see his Father, The Shopping Mall
My god. That Father was tight lipped
That god never said shit!!!
Cloud Dwelling, Robed Diety?
Prayed the rosary
I tried to LOVE, but he gave me a whole lotta shit!
It's called them, Down & Dirty White Boy
White Boy
White Boy Blues - For you
Middle Class... White Boy Blues

VOODOO NEVER DIES! VOODOO NEVER DIES!
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DEMONIZE!!!

Like a Coco - Robicheux
A little boy was a bad, bad boy
Little boy was a... Whoo!
He got himself in a... how... how... how
He got himself in a... Whoo!
Where are my Rattles At?!?

My blood... is in this
I've been here long before a straight line...
Ever ran... Down the land
Serpentine... Serpentine
Highway Time... Black Serpentine
You can't tame the land
You can't tame anything
You don't control
I am a Thunderchild
I am a Lake incarnate, baby
RUMBLE... THUNDER...
Is in my soul
I walk the walk of the 4 legged wolf
I take my soul and wear it on my sleeve
Oh I know
I'm gonna shake my rattle
Gonna shake my rattle now
"Massassauga Rattler! Come to me
WOLF! Let me walk with you"
Thunder Beings! Give me strength!
Let me win. I know I'm gonna win
This is Medicine
This is Music

Vibration!
Come On!
God damn it Baby. You know you've got what it takes
I don't run from the Shadows
I walk to the bush
Give illusion a little tap on the shoulder
I can FEEL ya baby... coming in waves
A little kind on the highway
Next thing you know I'm on the dancefloor
Shakin' everything I brought Baby. 2x
Shakin' everything I brought to the party tonight
I brought myself and I'm gonna light it up
What happened to the music in the world today
I think there is something wrong!
Come on Now
SQUIREL EATERS
Redneck, Pumpkin-pump-a pumpkin pumpers
GET YOUR HEAD CHECKED!

And this band plays BIG LAKE ROCK 'N' ROLL
Gitchee Gumee Baby
Gitchee Gumee Baby

Low and behold
My head is underwater
You cant stop the flow

Big water and Summer sunshine
Smell of pine trees and endless blue skies
Everything is moving. Everything is alive
The Energies are forever in the waves that arrive
I am surrounded, I am alive
I am surrounded, I am alive
I am surrounded, surrounded by life
And I know everything
Everything is gonna be alright
Out On The Lake
Felt the pull of the waves
Long after we left the beach
I feel vibrations are coming to me
From a long time ago, to make it seem
So Real
I'm feeling Alive
And I know everything is gonna be aliright
On a Summer Day... On The Lake
Everything is moving
Everything is alive
The Energies are forever
In the waves that arrive
I want to go back
Go back to that day.
Take the wing and soar on the breeze
Over clear waters, into the arms of the trees
I'll take my place and ride it high
I know I'll go there and I'll never die
I feel Vibrations
They're coming for me

The Factory Falls

Gates are rustin'
At the mouth of the river
Cause the teeth of machines
Are NEVER a GIVER
Slow process. Sped up
Steel starts mournin'
THE FACTORY FELL
It came without WARNING!!!
The Factory Falls
Whispers in Walls
THE FACTORY FALLS
The whisper in walls
"I am the Breeze"
Erosion. Whatever you will
Is an unending cycle.
The we'll never still
"I am the Shadow, I am the Light, that is keeping you"
The Factory Falls
Witness the factory
As it falls to the GROUND!
This has been happening
Since you first heard our SOUND
SOUL STRIPPER
with rusted teeth
Ya, bust all the steel
But, you're bitch of the deep
My waves could crush you, like sand
And throw you to the breeze
And, leave you with no land
The Factory Falls
Whispers in walls
The Factory... The Factory!
Giant plumes of black smoke
Darker than a bush road night
I'm watching the very thing
IMPLODE
Lights are flashing

"Ahhh Fuck! Just fuckin' got here!

Ahh! You just threw a bunch of shit on the Ground

"Low and BEHOLD! What do we have here?
Some PRICK shot an animal and doesn't plan on
eating it!!! I'm gonna SMASH him to the ground!
I could fart out a yuppie rockslide, faster than a fuckin'
full tide from Lake Superior. I am it's child! It's my mother!
AND I WILL KILL FOR HER!"
"SWAMPGUT! And I'm really pissed off right now.
Fuckin' greedy suits! Wanna put their windmills on the water!
If you try to do that, I'll do a massive BELLYFLOP on the lake...
Awakening THE NOVEMBER WITCH who will smash your futile
efforts!!!"
