Evolutionary Impropriety

If you go where the money is
Full may be your wallet
But what of your soul?
You may be socially blind
Cause God knows you try!
Work your ass off day and night
Cause we all journey somewhere
Left or right
Left out, unseen, unsecure, free, family
Slighted, is it a choice who to be?
And then the government comes
And steals your money
To take care of those
Who are weak and unwilling
Evolutionary Impropriety
Or is it?
When you work hard
Cleaning someone else's shit
Were they to pay you according to 'lousiness of job'
Tell me, who would be rich?
Cause we all journey somewhere
Left or right
Left out, unseen, unsecure, free, family
Slighted, is it a choice who to be?
And those are things we can't change
But we can change our lives to create...
If you really think about it
Ponder on it just for a while
What is it really?
Evolutionary Impropriety
Cause we all journey somewhere
Left or right
Left out, unseen, unsecure, free, family
Slighted, is it a choice who to be?
And those are things we can't change
But we can change our lives to create
Equality

Time
Why do you pass me by
So swiftly
Futile have to do's in life
Time
Where do you go
When I am not aware
Too busy doing what society wants from me
Time, time
Focus, focus
Be in the here and now
Time, time
I wish that I would find out
I was to ride a beautiful black horse
Be on an assignment of the greatest importance
I would run into grey knights
My enemies and friends to be
Deliver a letter in a language unknown to me
I
I used to know
Who I wanted to be
It would just all come to find me
Books of great adventure
Of great wonder
It would all come to be
To me
Easily
Time, time
Focus, focus
Be in the here and now
Time, time
I wish that I would find out
To a foreign country to let them know
That the twin brother turned good was planning an evil reconciliation
I was to ride a beautiful black horse
Be on an assignment of the greatest importance
Time
Why do you pass me by
Time
When I am not aware
Too busy doing what society wants from me
Time
Why do you pass me
You pass me by?

Minnovation
03:48

Run around naked in the sunlight
Pick the stars from the sky
Be black or white as you feel like
Man or a woman
No wrong or right
Social rules and physics may bind us
But innovations can go
Where we didn't believe they could go
All over the place
You can't hide
You're not safe
And Google Glass catches you unaware
Goofy dancing in your house
And you create your own person in a Sims game
At each others image is what we stare
Cause what seems progress can have backlashes
Although satellites produce information
They can also crash and brake
Now we have also polluted space
Social rules and physics may bind us
But innovations can go
Where we didn't believe they could go
All over the place
You can't hide
You're not safe
No you're not safe
from technology

Like Ants
03:35
|
|||
Do you ever think of it all?
The worlds rise and the worlds fall
To us so big
To us it's all there is
But suppose we're like ants
So much more that we would miss
Cause we're
Crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling though the sand
We're crawling, crawling, crawling through the city
We supply, supply, supply - supplying food
We supply, supply, supply - supplying the goods
Just imagine that the universe has no ending
That is something which we as mere humans can't be understanding
Still I would image thoughts could fly
And without speaking to each other
We would understand each other
And see eye to eye
But for now we're
Crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling though the sand
We're crawling, crawling, crawling through the city
We supply, supply, supply - supplying food
We supply, supply, supply - supplying the goods

Differently The Same
04:00
|
|||
Take me to the place
I remember from before
And as we climb higher
We meet an echo from long ago
To feel again whatever may be
To see again
Is it you that I see?
To feel again whatever may be
To soar up high
Each other is what we see
What if we do it differently the same?
But it is not so easy to change
Cause everything feels wrong
But I know how it felt right
Just wash away
Those tears
Give me once more, the touch
The feeling
Give it back to me
To us
When will it be us?
And shadows we come across
Let our light shine
From those sunny days
Can we hold those rays
What if we do it differently the same?
But it is not so easy to change
Cause everything feels wrong
But I know how it felt right
Just wash away
Those tears
Give me once more, the touch
The feeling
Give it back to me
To us
When will it be us?
When will it be us?
Take me to the place
I remember from before

Squire or Squirrel
02:51
|

Well, are you a squire or a squirrel?
That's what the old bearded man asked me
He said:
Do you want to climb high and take leaps,
or do you prefer to follow and take things as they come
Well, follow me, and we'll jump in the trees
Meet pretty squirly girls
And try to retreat
Well, what will it be
Will you go where you've never been before
Discover powers you didn't know you had
Well, what will it be
Will you keep your feet on the ground
Follow others in their deeds
And feel somewhat small next to them all
Well, are you a squire or a squirrel?
I prefer to be a squirrel and pull out swords
I like to do well in deed and with words
I like to swim and fly and dive and be king with sorcerer’s aid
Well, follow me, and we'll jump in the trees
Meet pretty squirly girls
And try to retreat
Well, what will it be
Will you go where you've never been before
Discover powers you didn't know you had
Well, what will it be
Will you keep your feet on the ground
Follow others in their deeds
And feel somewhat small next to them all

The Hippie Song
03:47
|
|||
What are we doing now?
Ruining it for future generations
What are we doing now?
Sucking empty the earth it's grounds
What are we doing now?
People starving, others drowning in money
What are we doing now?
We pollute water and air
We need sunshine
But not too much
Cause we wanna keep the ozone layer
Intact
We like to eat meat but please
Not too much
Otherwise the grounds they
Won't sustain us
Cause we consume on and on
Will there come an ending to it
We grow in numbers
Grow and grow
How will we sustain all of us
Yeah, we consume on and on
Will there come an ending to it
We grow in numbers
Grow and grow
How will we sustain all of us
Where are we going to?
Anywhere we can fly, drive and so pollute
No piece of earth untouched
If there is any money to it
What do our governments do
They struggle over convention words
What do we ourselves do
Say that we can't change anything
We need to innovate
In so far it helps sustain our world
We need to anticipate
Learn that less is more
Although we like to eat meat please
Not too much
Otherwise the grounds they
Won't sustain us
Yeah, we consume on and on
Will there come an ending to it
We grow in numbers
Grow and grow
How will we sustain all of us
Yeah, we consume on and on
Will there come an ending to it
We grow in numbers
Grow and grow
How will we sustain all of us

When Words Don't Work
04:12

Take another brew to spice up your
Lingering unhappiness
Cause it may take it all away
Help you forget the pain
Or you just don't understand that the system you're part of
Fosters inhumanity
In those places where there are no rules
Where no central authority but power
Power of the strongest rules
Bite your tongue and be blind to all
Talking there is no work out here
Cause out here the strongest rules
No reason brings no gain
Then the funny white men come to take your stories away
And nothing really changes
In those places where there are no rules
Where no central authority but power
Power of the strongest rules
No power
No gain
In those places where there are no rules
Where no central authority but power
Power of the strongest rules

Within Boundaries Only
03:19
|
|||
Living in a world where money informs choice
Living in a worlds where creativity has no voice
Because how do you put the unphysical into words of worth
Of value
As no other
How can you dream
When you are measured by your ability to conform
How can you dream
When dreams are allowed
But within boundaries only
You better better better
Do as your told
You better better better
Go for the gold
You better better better
Do not have any doubts
Before you know it
You are out
Out of the game
Compared to all others
All the same
No fortune no fame
And only yourself to blame

Hot Air Balloon
03:06
|
|||
Just imagine...
Flying high in a hot air balloon
A quiet scenery
Then a sharp bird's beak tears the fabric and down is all you see
Cause down down down
You get closer to the ground
Now skydiving could be fun
But surely not this way
Cause down down down
You get closer to the ground
And do you think of all
The things that you could have done
And do you think of all
The things that you should have done
Now it's too late
It's too late
