FLOYD PINK AND THE PUNKS: Second Coming Of The Chameleon Of Pop

VICTIM EXPECTED TO LIVE LIKE VICTIM
DIE....DIE....DIE LIKE A VICTIM
INNOCENT CHILD CAUGHT UP IN THE CONFUSION
WHY....WHY....WHY ALLL THE FRICTION

WE'RE ALL VICTIMS OF THE SYSTEM
WE'RE ALL VICTIMS OF THE SYSTEM

TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, MUCH LIKE TODAY....
TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, MUCH LIKE TODAY....

FOOLISHLY WE THINK WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM
BUT DRINKING IN DEFEAT IS AS CLOSE AS WE'LL EVER COME
NOTHING CAN CHANGE WHAT HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED
MANY HAVE TRIED, BUT HAVE DIED BEFORE IT LEFT THE PAGE

TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY

TOMORROW WILL BE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY
THE SUN RISING IN THE EAST, BUT REFUSING TO STAY
OH, AND NOTHING CAN STOP THE TIDAL WAVES OF HISTORY
THE SUN RISING IN THE EAST, BUT REFUSING TO STAY

NOTHING CAN REPEL THE TIDAL WAVE OF MISERY
AND NO ONE CAN CHANGE THE BLOODY COURSE OF HISTORY
NOTHING WILL DEFLECT THE BITTER BLOWS OF TRAGEDY
AND NO ONE CAN PROTECT THE INNOCENT FROM THE GUILTY

FOOLISHLY WE THINK....WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM
FOOLISHLY WE THINK....WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM

ALTHOUGH WE KNOW WE CAN NEVER BEAT THEM
WE WILL NEVER JOIN THEM
WE KNOW WE CAN NEVER BEAT THEM
BUT WE'LL NEVER....NEVER....NEVER JOIN THEM

SELLING OUT TO THEM SHOULD BE OUR BIGGEST FEAR
PROTECTING OUR INTEGRITY, OUR WHOLE CAREER
IF WE RETAIN OUR DIGNITY WE'RE VICTIMS IN THE FLESH
BUT OUR SOULS ARE ONE COMMODITY....
THEY CAN ONLY SECOND GUESS

DON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN
DON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN
WON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN

DIE LIKE A VICTIM

THE QUESTION IS, WILL THEY IGNORE 
EACH EFFECT AND EVERY CAUSE 
OMENS OF THE THINGS IN STORE 
HARD-NOSED UNIVERSAL LAWS

CAN'T KEEP THE PROPHECY FROM COMING TRUE 
WRITTEN IS THE FUTURE IN THE COLOUR BLUE 
POINTLESS ARE THE MYSTERIES THAT TROUBLE YOU 
NOTHING YOU CAN DO OR SAY CAN CHANGE TOMORROW YESTERDAY

BURIED IN THE SINKHOLE OF A SEER'S DREAM 
VISIONARY BULLET HITS THE SILVER SCREEN 
SOMEONE MENTIONED JUDGEMENT DAY, WHICH SET THE SCENE 
BUT NOTHING YOU CAN DO OR SAY CAN CHANGE TOMORROW YESTERDAY

FRAGMENTARY FLASHBACK FROM AN ASTRAL PLANE 
PUNCTUATES THE PATHWAYS OF A PICKLED BRAIN 
TO WRITE YOUR OWN EPITAPH IS SO EXTREME 
FORESHADOWING THE AFTERMATH BEFORE IT'S SEEN

SOME THINGS ARE UNSTOPPABLE 
WHILE OTHER THINGS IMPOSSIBLE 
TOMORROW IMPERCEPTIBLE 
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO 
THESE ARE THE FACTS OF LIFE AND DEATH TO THIS DAY

SEEKING OUT A SAVIOUR FOR SOME PASTURES NEW 
LOOKING FOR THE ANSWER THAT'S ELUDING YOU
KNOWING THE APOCALYPSE WILL COME WHAT MAY 
THAT NEXT TIME IT WON'T HELP TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY

ONE DEFINING FEATURE IS THE WAY WE PRAY 
THINKING IT WILL LEAD US TO A BRIGHTER DAY 
UNIVERSAL TEACHER WILL PROVIDE THE WAY 
HE CAN TAKE THIS CUP AWAY, CAN CHANGE TOMORROW YESTERDAY

PROPHECY AND DOOM

SOME OF US AFRAID THE WORLD WILL END (SOME OF US AFRAID IT WON'T)

SIX O'CLOCK BLUES

GOLDILOCKS PLANET

Love Is A One Night Stand

great tune, but music is a rough take; errors in the break need some work

I GUESS I MUST BE SOMEONE ELSE

I WOULD CLIMB THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN FOR YOU
I WOULD GIVE YOU EVERYTHING I OWN
BECAUSE YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
WHAT I SAY
ISN'T TRUE
I CAN BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
I THINK THAT IT'S IN ME
I THINK THAT IT'S IN ME

YES I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING
YOU THINK IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ME
PERHAPS I'M SOMEONE ELSE
(I GUESS I MUST BE SOMEONE ELSE)
SOMEONE WHO IS NOTHING LIKE ME
NOTHING LIKE ME

C....A....P....G....R....A....S....SYNDROME
IS THIS ME AND IS THAT YOU?
C....A....P....G....R....A....S....SYNDROME

AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME I MISREAD THE SITUATION
CAUGHT UP IN A NIGHTMARE OF MY OWN CREATION

IF WE ALL HAVE A TWIN
THEY ALL EXIST WITHIN A SINGULAR DIMENSION
FOR EVERYWHERE I LOOK
I SEE THE FACES OF DIZYGOTIC CHILDREN

LEFT ME THUNDERSTRUCK
I MISSED THE DOUBLE-TAKE
I WAS HIT BY A TRUCK

I KNOW THAT CLONES REPEAT
AND SHARE THE SAME HEARTBEAT
ARE THE TWO-FACED ONE WE MEET
THAT NOTHING I CAN DO OR SAY
CAN STOP THE MARCH OF THEIR DECEIT

ONE FOOT IN THE MOUTH
ONE FOOT IN A FUTURE TO COME
THE URGE TO CHECK THE CLOCK
ACCOMPANIES THE URGE TO BUY A GUN

MY ACTIONS DOWN TO SPLIT DECISIONS
MOMENTS LACKING....LACKING IN PRECISION
THOUGH MZ TWINS
WEAR DIFFERENT SKINS
I'VE NEVER ONCE HAD....DOUBLE ENTENDRE VISION

I GUESS I MUST BE SOMEONE ELSE

LIFE HAS MANY GATES (ALWAYS BLAMING THE MAKER)


BOTH THE SUBJECT AND THE MASTER
DUBBED THE BICYCLE THIEF
I STALK THE LOCAL PASTOR
FOR.... HE'S A GLUTTON FOR GRIEF

MY MIND EXPANDING FASTER
WITH EACH AND EVERY FIX
PROTOPLASMIC PROTRUSIONS
PENETRATE MY BAG OF TRICKS
(I'M REACHING IN....
TO MY BAG OF TRICKS)

OH! I....I'VE MADE
(OH! I'VE BEEN MAKING FAR TOO MANY MISTAKE)
TOO MANY MISTAKES IN MY LIFE

THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU LAUGH!
NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU LAUGH!

OH! I'VE MADE
(TOO MANY MISTAKES)
FAR TOO MANY MISTAKES IN MY LIFE

EVADING EACH DISASTER
EVADING EACH DISASTER
EVADING EACH DISASTER
BY THE SKIN OF MY TEETH

CIRCUMSTANCES, UNFORSEEN
AND THE INCIDENTS THAT FALL INBETWEEN
CAN TAKE YOU BY STORM
OR CREEP UP FROM BEHIND
DOCUMENT YOU WHEN YOU'RE BORN
AND TRACK YOU THROUGH TIME

LA....LA....LA....LA....LA....LA
LIFE HAS MANY GATES
EACH ACCORDING TO ITS KIND....YEAH!
LIFE HAS MANY GATES

LIFE HAS MANY GATES
EACH ACCORDING TO ITS KIND
EACH JOURNEY REFLECTING
THE ROAD THAT IT WINDS

A RECKONING AWAITS ON A DAY THAT HAS NO DATE
WHEN YOUR ERRORS AND YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS COMBINE

NEITHER TELESCOPE EYES
THAT SCAN THE FACE OF THE EARTH
SCAN THE FACE OF THE EARTH
NOR THE MYTHICAL JINN....JINN....JINN....JINN....JINN
NOR THE MYTHICAL JINN THAT WALK AMONG US
(DON'T WALK OR TALK OR LAUGH OR CRY)
ARE SAVVY TO THE SICKNESS
AND THE MOUNTAIN OF LIES
THAT SCRAPE THE VERY SKY
(WE SCRAPE THE VERY SKIES)

ALWAYS BLAMING THE MAKER
ALWAYS BLAMING THE MAKER

WE'RE ALWAYS BLAMING THE MAKER
WE'RE ALWAYS BLAMING THE MAKER

EXTERNALISE THE BLAME AND CUSS
COMPLAINING THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN
TO GUYS LIKE US
(THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO US)
COMPLAINING THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN
TO GUYS LIKE US

CIRCUMSTANCES UNFORSEEN
CAN TAKE YOU BY STORM
LIFE HAS MANY GATES
EACH ACCORDING TO ITS KIND

CIRCUMSTANCES UNFORSEEN
CAN TAKE YOU BY STORM
EACH JOURNEY REFLECTING
THE ROAD THAT IT WINDS

CIRCUMSTANCES UNFORSEEN
CAN TAKE YOU BY STORM
EACH JOURNEY REFLECTING
THE ROAD THAT IT WINDS

LIFE HAS MANY GATES (ALWAYS BLAMING THE MAKER) w.i.p.

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE w.i.p.

I SEE THE UNIVERSE IN COLOUR

THOUGH BEING OUTSPOKEN MEANS MEDIA & AUDIENCE REJECTION, I WILL NEVER JOIN THE NEW BREED OF MUSICIANS;

THOSE WHO HAVE F_CK ALL TO SAY!

Do we use our talent to promote #HUMANITY, #EQUALITY, #LOVE, #JUSTICE, #FREEDOM, QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL, or do we simply promote ourselves at the expense of others?

EVEN IF I FAIL TO MAKE A MARK WITH MY OWN MUSIC, I WANT YOU GUYS TO SUCCEED!

A mercenary music industry wants the public to believe your music is substandard, but that is far from true....#UNSIGNED, #INDEPENDENT & #UNDERGROUND puts #SIGNED music in the shade!

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!

It is a myth that unsigned music equals inferior music; the only way we can blow that myth out of the water is to do it together! 
I DON'T RESPOND TO LIKES WTHOUT COMMENTS; Doesn't prove it was played!
DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT! And support musicians that support you!

MY TUNES ARE ALL ABOUT CREATING ON THE FLY; NO COOKBOOK, NO RULES, NO PREPARATION, NO PLAN; IT JUST HAPPENS!

FORMULA THINKING AND BOUNDARIES PUT EXTREME LIMITATIONS ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS; TRUE ART CAN NOT BE PRODUCED WITHIN A RESTRICTED SPACE!

I DON'T BREAK DOWN BOUNDARIES, BECAUSE THERE WERE NO BOUNDARIES IN MY WORLD TO BEGIN WITH!

MUSIC MUST CONTINUE TO EVOLVE, AND THE ECLECTIC APPROACH IS NOW THE ONLY WAY FORWARD, BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL GENRES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED!

CREATING WITHIN A SINGLE GENRE, THEREFORE, RESULTS IN REGURGITATION, REPETITION, AND MEDIOCRITY!

And way too much emphasis is placed on production value; actual creativity and diversity are taking a back seat! Inventive lyrics also rarely get the credit they deserve. This indifference to the talents that actually set musicians apart plays into the hands of a money-minded music industry, signing our own death warrants!
