Lyrics of Toxicity

Prison Song

They're trying to build a prison 
They're trying to build a prison 

Following the rights movement 
You clamped on with your iron fists 
Drugs became conveniently 
Available for all the kids 

Following the rights movement 
You clamped on with your iron fists 
Drugs became conveniently 
Available for all the kids 

I buy my crack, I smack my bitch 
Right here in hollywood 
(nearly 2 million americans are 
incarcerated in the prison system 
prison system of the US) 

They're trying to build a prison 
They're trying to build a prison 
They're trying to build a prison 
(for you and me to live in) 

Another prison system 
Another prison system 
Another prison system 
(for you and me to live in) 

Minor drug offenders fill your prisons 
you don't even flinch 
all our taxes paying for your wars 
against the new non-rich 

Minor drug offenders fill your prisons 
you don't even flinch 
all our taxes paying for your wars 
against the new non-rich 

I buy my crack, I smack my bitch 
right here in hollywood 
The percentage of americans in the prison system 
prison system, has doubled since 1985 

They're trying to build a prison 
They're trying to build a prison 
They're trying to build a prison 
(for you and me to live in) 

Another prison system 
Another prison system 
Another prison system 
For you and I, For you and I, For you and I. 

They're trying to build a prison 
They're trying to build a prison 
They're trying to build a prison 
For you and me 

Oh baby, you and me. 

All research and successful drug policy show 
that treatment should be increased 
And law enforcement decreased 
While abolishing mandatory minimun sentences 

All research and successful drug policy show 
that treatment should be increased 
And law enforcement decreased 
While abolishing mandatory minimun sentences 

Utilising drugs to pay for 
Secret wars around the world 
drugs are now your global policy 
Now you police the globe 

I buy my crack, I smack my bitch 
right here in hollywood 
Drug money is used to rig elections 
and train brutal corporate sponsored dictators
around the world 

They're trying to build a prison 
They're trying to build a prison 
They're trying to build a prison 
(for you and me to live in) 

Another prison system 
Another prison system 
Another prison system 
(for you and me to live in) 
For you and I, for you and I, for you and I 
For you and I 

They're trying to build a prison 
They're trying to build a prison 
They're trying to build a prison 
for you and me 
oh baby, you and me 



Needles

I cannot disguise, 
all the stomach pains 
and the walking of the canes 

when you, do come out 
and you whisper up to me 
in your life of tragedy 

But I cannot grow 
till you eat the last of me 
oh when will I be free 

and you, a parasite 
just find another host 
just another fool to roast 

cause you 
my tapeworm tells me what to do 
you, my tapeworm tells me where to go 

Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 

I cannot deny 
all the evil traits 
and the filling of the crates 

when you, do come out 
and you slither up to me 
in your pimpin majesty 

but I cannot grow 
till you eat the last of me 
oh when will I be free 

and you, a parasite 
just find another host 
just another stool to post 

cause you 
my tapeworm tells me what to do 
you, my tapeworm tells me where to go 

Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tape worm out of me... 

I'm just sitting in my room 
with a needle in my hand 
waiting for the tomb 
of some old dying man 

sitting in my room 
with a needle in my hand 
waiting for the tomb 
of some old dying man 

cause you 
my tapeworm tells me what to do 
you, my tapeworm tells me where to go 

Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY 



Deer Dance

Circumventing circuses 
lamenting in process 
to visible police 
prescence sponsored fear 

batallions of riot police 
with rubber bullet kisses 
baton courtesy 
service with a smile 

Beyond the staples center you can see america 
with it's tired poor avenging disgrace 
peaceful loving youth against the brutality 
of plastic existence 

pushing little children 
with their fully automatics 
they like to push the weak around 

pushing little children 
with their fully automatics 
they like to push the weak around 

A rush of words 
pleading to disperse 
upon your naked walls, alive 

A political call 
the fall guy accord 
we can't afford to be neutral 
on a moving train 

Beyond the staples center you can see america 
with it's tired poor avenging disgrace 
peaceful loving youth against the brutality 
of plastic existence 

pushing little children 
with their fully automatics 
they like to push the weak around 

pushing little children 
with their fully automatics 
they like to push the weak around 

A deer dance, 
invitation to peace 
war staring you in the face, 
dressed in black 

with a helmet, 
fierce 
trained and appropriate for the malcontents 
for the disproportioned malcontents. 

The little boy smiled, it'll all be well 
The little boy smiled, it'll all be well 

Pushing little children 
with their fully automatics 
they like to push the weak around 

Pushing little children 
with their fully automatics 
they like to push the weak around 

Push the weak around 
Push the weak around 
Push the weak around 
They like to push the weak around. 



Jet Pilot

Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay 
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay 

My horse is a shackled old man 
His, his remorse, was that he couldn't survey 
the skies, right before 
right before they went gray 
my horse and my remorse 
flying over a great bay 

Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay 
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay 

My source is the source of all creation 
Her, discourse, is that we all don't survey 
The skies, right before 
Right before they go gray 
My source, and my remorse 
Flying over a great bay 

Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay 
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay 

Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay 
Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay 

Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay 
Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay 

Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay 
Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot 
One that smiled when he flew over the bay

Chop Suey

Wake up!
Grab a brush and put a little (makeup) 
Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup) 
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? 
Here you go create another fable 

You wanted to 
Grab a brush and put a little makeup 
You wanted to 
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup 
You wanted to 
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? 
You wanted to 

I don't think you trust 
In, my, self righteous suicide 
I, cry, when angels deserve to die, DIE 

Wake up 
Grab a brush and put a little (makeup) 
Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup) 
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? 
Here you go create another fable 

You wanted to

You wanted to 
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup 
You wanted to

You wanted to 

I don't think you trust 
In, my, self righteous suicide 
I, cry, when angels deserve to die 
In, my, self righteous suicide 
I, cry, when angels deserve to die 

Father, father, father, father 

Father into your hands, I commend my spirit 
Father into your hands 
why have you forsaken me 

In your eyes forsaken me 
In your thoughts forsaken me 
In your heart forsaken, me oh 

Trust in my self righteous suicide 
I, cry, when angels deserve to die 
In my self righteous suicide

Bounce

Jump, bounce, down, up 

I went out on a date 
with a girl, a bit late 
she had so many friends 
gliding through many hands 

I brought my pogo stick 
just to show her a trick 
she had so many friends 
Gliding through many hands 

Jump pogo.....Bounce pogo 
Down pogo, up pogo 

Unannouced were the games 
All players with no names 
they lined up double quick 
but just one pogo stick 

everyone gets to play 
runaway exposé
it was so exotic 
but just one pogo stick 

Jump pogo.....Bounce pogo 
Down pogo, up pogo 

Oh I like to spread you out 
touching whoever's behind 

Jump pogo.....Bounce pogo 
Down pogo, up pogo 



Forest

Walk with me my little child 
To the forest of denial 
speak with me my only mind 

walk with me until the time 
and make the forest turn to wine 
you take the legend for a fall 
you saw the product 

why can't you see that you are my child 
why don't you know that you are my mind 
tell everyone in the world, that I'm you 
take this promise to the end of you 

walk with me my little friend 
Take this promise to the end 
Speak with me my only mind 

Walk with me until the end 
And make the forest turn to sand 
you take the legend for a fall 
you saw the product 

why can't you see that you are my child 
why don't you know that you are my mind 
tell everyone in the world, that I'm you 
take this promise to the end of you 

Take this promise for a ride 
you saw the forest, now come inside 
You took the legend for it's fall 
you saw the product of it all 

no televisions in the air 
no circumcisions on the chair 
You made the weapons for us all 
just look at us now 

why can't you see that you are my child 
why don't you know that you are my mind 
tell everyone in the world, that I'm you 
take this promise to the end of you

Science

Making two possibilities a reality 
prediting the future of things we all know 
fighting off the diseased programming 
of centuries, centuries, centuries, centuries 

Science fails to recognise the single most 
potent element of human existence 
letting the reigns go to the unfolding 
is faith, faith, faith, faith 

Science has failed our world 
science has failed our mother earth

Letting the reigns go to the unfolding 
is faith, faith, faith, faith 
letting the reigns go to the unfolding 
is faith, faith, faith, faith 

Science has failed our world

Toxicity

Conversion, software version 7.0 
looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub 
eating seeds as a pastime activity 
the toxicity of our city, of our city 

Now, what do you own the world? 
how do you own disorder, disorder 
Now somewhere between the sacred silence 
Sacred silence and sleep 
somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep 
disorder, disorder, disorder 

More wood for the fires, loud neighbours 
flishlight riveries caught in 
the headlights of a truck
Eating seeds as a pastime activity
The toxicity of our city, of our city

Now, what do you own the world? 
how do you own disorder, disorder 
Now somewhere between the sacred silence 
Sacred silence and sleep 
somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep 
disorder, disorder, disorder 

Now, what do you own the world? 
how do you own disorder, disorder 
Now somewhere between the sacred silence 
Sacred silence and sleep 
somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep 
disorder, disorder, disorder 

When I became the sun 
I shone life into the man's hearts 
When I became the sun 
I shone life into the man's hearts

Aerials

Life is a waterfall 
we're one in the river 
and one again after the fall 

swimming through the void 
we hear the word 
we lose ourselves 
but we find it all.... 

cause we are the ones that want to play 
always want to go 
but you never want to stay 

and we are the ones that want to choose 
always want to play 
but you never want to lose 

aerials, in the sky 
when you lose small mind 
you free your life 

life is a waterfall 
we drink from the river 
then we turn around and put up our walls 

swimming through the void 
we hear the word 
we lose ourselves 
but we find it all... 

cause we are the ones that want to play 
always want to go 
but you never want to stay 

and we are the ones that want to choose 
always want to play 
but you never want to lose 

aerials, in the sky 
when you lose small mind 
you free your life 
aerials, so up high 
when you free your eyes eternal prize 

aerials, in the sky 
when you lose small mind 
you free your life 
aerials, so up high 
when you free your eyes eternal prize
