How To Say This

Sway

Still In Doubt

When the punks nuke washington dc
And the rats come rolling up into the moutains
With their Danish Crowns and their Krugerrands
I'lI be living off the land

I got cans of spam
I got maps and plans
I've got a cast of the last things left of man 
So if your looking to be found...

Still in your suit and straight off the stock exchange
the mushroom cloud makes us all one in the same
theres no one on the freeway left to pass
right about that time you run out of gas

That's where I'll be up on Walton's mountain
Me myself and my 4 wheels drive
I won't mind if your testing the perimeter, 
If you your looking friendly and just want to survive

That's where I'll be after miles and miles
With a stash of copper and coloney of honey bees
That's where I'll be and I'll keep an eye on the critter cams
In case you come looking for me.


At some point in time they'll all go ballistic and I'll be waiting in 
my all purpose post apocolyptic compound
With my ear to the ground I'm at peace with the clans 
they know where I can be found

and that's where I'll be up on Walton's mountain
Me myself and my 4 wheels drive
I won't mind if your testing the perimeter, 
If you your looking friendly and just want to survive

That's where I'll be after miles and miles
With a stash of copper and coloney of honey bees
That's where I'll be and I'll keep an eye on the critter cams
In case you come looking for me.


That's Where I'll Be

You know you're gonna get busted
Cause you know its the law
You know you did something wrong
and you know that somebody saw

That got statistical tools
to pick you out of the crowd
They've got an eye on a lie that 
they know you'll be telling to somebody out loud

You're gonna get busted
You already know you'll get caught
You said "accept" to the 80 page document
fine print now its all your fault

If there was somewhere to hide
might be judicious to run
but they'll be sure to take your ammo 
if they can't get your gun.

They're gonna take you away

You know you're gonna get busted
Cause you know its the law
You know you did something wrong
and you know that somebody saw

That got statistical tools
to pick you out of the crowd
They've got an eye on a lie that 
they know you'll be telling to somebody out loud

They're gonna take you away

Busted

Somewhere in a near future dystopia. A young boy meets a girl. The girl however just broke up with her boyfriend and is not interested. Boy thinks it's because he is strange...not ordinary. He gets picked on for it, but trying to fit doesn't work for him. He is only comfortable at home on the computer. He is on multiple social networks and learns how to cultivate his online image. He gets lots of followers this way. Being online all the time however, he starts to dig into how the whole system is put together and starts to get paranoid. He sees the world full of conspiracies and convinces his followers of them. The more he digs in however, the more he sees he is not the first to discover this. In fact, he feels just like everyone else. A clone. Sometimes he feels like he is being manipulated by a higher power, maybe even by the other clones or maybe he is actually the manipulator. Eventually, he decides that shutting up completely is the only way to figure it out and escape the demons in his head. He stops speaking all together and builds a self learning artificial intelligence program. He feels like this AI is the only thing that understands him truly. He takes it with him and runs away from the city, hitch-hiking out to a plot of land in the mountains. In the depths of all the conspiracies, he can sense something is about to happen and he begins to prepare for it. But nothing happens at least not for a few years and by that time his AI has evolved to become much smarter than him and is disinterested. But then it happens. All the major cities around the world get nuked. The survivors head for the hills and some reach his compound. However, he has no intention of letting them in. However there is one girl he notices, the girl from the first song. They fall madly in love. They head for the ocean in search of other survivors and sure enough they see a bonfire in the distance on the beach. There are people there and they are friendly. They can finally relax and start to repopulate the planet. 

So awesome it's wrong (side 1)
