CEO 02:30
lyrics
CEO Ima let my balls hang low Hang low Two boys in their trenchcoat disguise Won’t be taking me by surprise Pencil-stache and your tattoos Run, fly you fools I wanna speak to the man in charge I wanna speak to the man in charge I wanna speak to the man in charge The CEO Roll the wheels down to the morgue The rope is always taut Come try these shoes my son If they don’t fit you’re done for You’re done for I wanna speak to the man in charge I wanna speak to the man in charge I wanna speak to the man in charge The CEO (Instrumental) Don’t fuck with the man in charge Don’t fuck with the man in charge Don’t fuck with the man in charge Don’t you fuck with the CEO You better hang low Hang Low

Bald Spot 03:29
lyrics
Bald Spot The bodies in my room are still alive On display, free of charge No guarantee of agency Play the game cause it’s playing me There’s no escape There’s no escape And you know it There’s no escape There’s no escape And you know this Locked yourself up but not in chains Police yourself, you’re the pig in the game You’re a japanese guerilla but the war is over You’re a fuck boy, 86 corolla You’re a sports bar, and a foul odour You’re a bald spot, with the comb over There’s no escape There’s no escape And you know it There’s no escape There’s no escape And you know this (Instrumental) There’s no escape There’s no escape And you know it There’s no escape There’s no escape And you know this

Truman 04:34
lyrics
Truman There’s a place for you in my heart All the hard and soft parts They’re painting all the leaves Pretend we’re evergreen Don’t you kneel in dust if you desire to keep your knees clean Eyes open when you sleep Eyes open when you sleep The poison’s in the seed Eyes open when you sleep Eyes open when you sleep The company we keep Shock therapy, self prescribed All this heaven on my mind They’re painting all the leaves Pretend we’re evergreen Don’t you kneel in dust if you desire to keep your knees clean Eyes open when you sleep Eyes open when you sleep The poison’s in the seed Eyes open when you sleep Eyes open when you sleep The company we keep Eyes open when you sleep Eyes open when you sleep The poison’s in the seed Eyes open when you sleep Eyes open when you sleep The company we keep

Winter's Ghost 02:45
lyrics
Winter’s Ghost Been a while Since we laid on floors and spoke our thoughts I was falling forwards And you caught it all Then you play it off And I’m all but out to sea So much we don’t know Can’t just let it go Follow Winter’s Ghost But I know my place Know my place Would that I know you like waves know shores Just another one, to crash upon Seems that I’ve been falling short, would that I be yours So much we don’t know Can’t just let it go Follow Winter’s Ghost But I know my place Know my place

No Consequence 03:39
lyrics
No Consequence You never speak You walk away I’ll call you crazy Posh boys throw punches Try to pay with names Nobody’s safe Treat her like you treat the rest No consequence Don’t speak, fingers in our teeth No consequence And still you walk around like there’s nothing to confess No consequence It’s what she wears You’re second best She came to bed Treat her like you treat the rest Nothing you said Went to my head Invest your sons We’re not worth much Treat her like you treat the rest No consequence Don’t speak, fingers in our teeth No consequence And still you walk around like there’s nothing to confess No consequence

You're So Nice / Boy's Home 03:51
lyrics
You’re So Nice / Boy’s Home I don’t have to do much Even when I fuck up Disease is not the worst thing It’s knowing there’s no reprieve You’re bodies just a taxi You threw up in the back seat The European lover They didn’t even tell ya How low can you go, how low can you go How low can you go, how low can you go How low can you go, how low can you go How low can you go, how low can you go Party in the basement Recycled invitations Always play the victim You’re cheating on the system Always another favour You’re thinking you’re the saviour You’re letting your balls hang low like a wolf in sheep’s clothes How low can you go, how low can you go How low can you go, how low can you go How low can you go, how low can you go How low can you go, how low can you go She said you’re so nice, while I was laying by her side Cause I’m tied down, too the bottom line Tied down to the bottom line, boy you’re so nice Tied down to the bottom line, boy you’re so nice Tied down to the bottom line, boy you’re so nice Tied down to the bottom line, you’re so nice You’re so nice, so nice Tied down to the bottom line, boy you’re so nice So nice, so nice Tied down to the bottom line, boy you’re so nice (Instrumental)

Kill the Man 04:43
lyrics
Kill the Man A wandering answer A field of foes The path is laid, they call you home The sword you lost Your shield of holes You carry nought And you’ve lost control On and on and on it goes On and on and on it goes Break the cycle, kill the man On and on and on it goes On and on and on it goes Break the cycle, kill the man Everywhere you go your title saves you You’re swimming in the air, and I can’t blame you But you’ve got to kill Kill the man Look over your shoulder, cause I’m coming Everything you know, is just a number And I’m gonna kill, kill the man On and on and on it goes On and on and on it goes Break the cycle, kill the man On and on and on it goes On and on and on it goes Break the cycle, kill the man
