I walk 47 miles of barbed wire
I drink ayahuasca just to watch the news
I drank Jagger & Richards under the table
And late at night I dress like Betty Grable
Who do you want me to be
Who do you want me to be
Who do you want me to be
I’m not too blind to see
My voodoo remote gets all 12 channels
I stuck with leather when Seattle did flannel
My boy named Sue is scary to you
And if you cry I’ll be flingin' poo
Who do you want me to be
Who do you want me to be
Who do you want me to be
I’m not too blind to see
I eat the living dead for fun
I fucked Ted Nugent with his own gun
I midnight rambled with Joseph Campbell
His hero trip was a croc of shit
Who do you want me to be
Who do you want me to be
Who do you want me to be
I’m not too blind to see

St Jude Was A Cypherpunk
St Jude was a cypherpunk
R.U. was a crank
They thought they'd take down the bank
As a funny cute little prank
They started up a crypto clique
It turned into a monster
Were they trying to make things right
Or just to impress Jody Foster?
She am what she am a crypto-anarchist
She ain't what she ain't a crypto-antichrist
I know what I want — I want to smoke a blunt
I don't need a weatherman to feel pretty vacant
You got crypto to the moon we'll send cypherpunks to mars (rept)

The great society
The ideology
Culture theory
Timothy Leary
Plant a tree
Subversives on TV
Digital means free
Let’s try alchemy
R.U. Sirius
Act imperious
New edge freaks
All power to the geeks
(Chorus)
Illusions of agency
Illusions of agency
Illusions of agency
Illusions of agence
The DNC
Crypto-anarchy
Spread a creed
Propaganda by deed
Wild schemes
My magazines
Guillotines
Control of the means
Hillary and Bill
The Triumph of the Will
A perfect peace pill
Mad skills
(CHORUS)
Spread a trope
Audacity of hope
Say nope to that joke
Demand better dope
Susan Sarandon
Charlie Manson
Hair of Samson
Dear Leader is handsome
Pontificator
Angry instigator
Be a player
Run for Mayor
(chorus)
Transhumanism
Ideological schisms
Elon’s cybertruck
The belief in luck

Volunteers
Rock careers
Patty Hearst
Voodou curse
America first

Stay the course
Find the source
Use force

Manipulate through fear
Point and jeer
Let ME steer!

The World is Flat
The world is flat
Flattened by fat cats
And it’s gone off its tracks
I don’t even want it back
And there’s a lack of slack
People running in packs
Forming alliances
Wounding with appliances
Yes the world is flat
Run by some entitled hacks
And we can see the cracks
Living in our little shacks
The world is flat
Flattened by fat cats
And it’s gone off its tracks
I don’t even want it back
And there’s a lack of slack
People running in packs
Forming alliances
Wounding with appliances

Speed and Weed
How I wish I could still do speed and weed
Paranoid listening to Let it Bleed
Long letters to J.G. Ballard and Chuck Manson
Kidnapped my shadow and held it for ransom
How I wish I could still do speed and weed
Wide awake watching the cops retreat
Twin Peaks repeats with a bunch of crazy chicks
Midnight the Castro for some real alt dot kicks
How I wish I could still do speed and weed
Be so sharp when I have to go on TV
Head back home kick it with some china white
Growing older man -- it just ain’t right
How I wish I could still do speed and weed
Growing older man -- it just ain’t right

I HOPE YOU DIDN’T DOSE THE PUDDING
Sirius - Pizza T
i asked my baby for her tantric thing
she tossed away the side of her face
she's an elevated totally evil wigged-out angel
she shaked clear and showed me her glass spine
i asked my baby for a 5 dollar bill
she says she's very very smart
she's a masculine italian gangster movie
she wears those black satin gloves so groovy
i asked my baby to look beneath the sheets
she feels the breath of god caress her
she loves old wiseman in Beatle boots
she likes the thrill of the overdosed jester
i asked my baby why we jumped outta the womb
she wants a lie that’s more fulfilling
I smile gee whiz we're roller-coaster baby-friends
I hope you didn’t dose dose dose the pudding
I hope you didn’t dose dose dose the pudding
I hope you didn’t dose dose dose the pudding
I hope you didn’t dose dose dose the pudding

On The Beam
She’s so fine
On the beam
And she’s so high
On the beam
On the beam
All the time
In the world
Well if you try
You’re a lucky girl lucky girl
If you can feel it
You can dance forever
If you can deal with it
Live forever live forever
Everything
Will be ours
From the planet
To the stars to the stars
We’re getting on the beam
Things are just as they seem
Immortality in the age of the clever
Live forever live forever
On the beam
Live forever

Sirius-Sabo-Phriendz
lyrics from original, some not used in this version
He is the air controller
You are the air
The people are proud of their father
Foreigners beware
He’s got a neutron charge card
He’s a mighty tough customer
He’s the glorious defender of the homeland
He just might play tough with ya
President Mussolini makes the planes run on time
Oh dig it little Arabella
He’s a strong man
Keep ‘em flyin’
Newspapers scream “He’s a winner.”
Nobody’s sayin’ what’s being won
Actor image - no content
What exactly is being done?
Send a little aid down south just to
Kill a few San Salvador nuns
Down in South Africa on civilized business
Trying to get gold for guns
Couldn’t be easier to know just what to do
If you were holding out all the money
Just a-looking for an easy going mechanic of depression
And then to wind up with your teeth against the wire fence
Wind up in the smallest of worlds crotch to the angriest lips
One deadly little spasm in the B.F. Skinner cancerteria
One deadly little spasm and what did this money buy?
Keep ‘em flying
