Lyrics
WARNING: Do not read while listening. Words and music are processed by different and independent cognitive systems. Reading lyrics recruits brain areas implicated in word recognition (left fusiform gyrus) and visual processing (left inferior occiptal gyrus), whereas music recruits areas involved in aural processing (right middle temporal sulcus and bilateral temporo-occipital cortices). The use of both cognitive systems simultaneously has been associated with unstable brainwave patterns. And it has been suggested that unstable brainwaves, when induced by a brain in sync with the music’s tempo, can compel some people to engage in critical thinking. As a result, we do not recommend reading while listening. We simply do not know enough to be able to think for ourselves. More research is needed. Think of the children. Only you can prevent forest fires!
Agent Orange
[Verse 1]
I flew to Vietnam
Landed in Saigon
Agent Orange was on the ground
And the beat goes on
[Refrain 1]
1, 2, 3, 4
I love the Marine Corp
[Verse 2]
Our enemies were the trees
We sprayed ‘em down like weeds
And they came
And they said he shall come
And he came
And he said that it comes
In fifty gallon drums
[Chorus]
I don’t belong
My memory’s gone
Falling into my bed
Empty, just like my head
[Refrain]
[Verse 3]
I tuned in, turned on
I dropped out at twenty one
I’m toast,
So you can stop staring at me
This song’s messed up
I’ve got nothing to say
[Verse 4]
Một, Hai, Ba, Vô
[Bridge]
I was livin’ it
And lovin’ it
I was livin’ it
Singin’ it
Sleepin’ it
Laughin’ it
Lovin’ it
Slummin’ it
Swimmin’ it
Livin’ it
Singin’ it
Sleepin’ it
Laughin’ it
Lovin’ it
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
[Verse 5]
I was beaucoup dien cai dau
Crazy as hell and how
Time on target ground attack, to the
Cadillac of medevacs
[Verse 6]
I flew to Vietnam
Landed in Saigon
Agent Orange was on the ground
What’s his number?

Brainwashin' Baby
[Verse 1]
Brainwashin’ baby
Brainwashin’s on my mind
Brainwashin’ baby
Brainwashin’s on my mind
I am deaf dumb and blind now
And fiber optic
Are the only connections I can find
[Verse 2]
I forget what I forgot then
I don’t remember I don’t recall
I forgot what I forgot when
I don’t remember I don’t recall
I’ve got no memory of anything
No memory, no memory of anything at all
[Verse 3]
There was a time then
When old man lady luck was shinin’ down on me
Yeah there was a time when
When old man lady luck was shinin’ down on me
I didn’t need no bot to tell me
How to live my life or how to breathe
[Bridge – Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
Brainwashin’ baby
Brainwashin’s on my mind
Brainwashin’ baby
Brainwashin’s on my mind
How do I know what I really know?
Fiber optic
Are the only connections I can find

Gem City
[Verse 1]
I am Tecumseh
And I was born upon this
Land long ago
A shooting star burst
Across Miami Valley
Cosmic afterglow
Five rivers meet you here at a mound
You lead the way as her spirit
Burns bright beside you
[Refrain]
Gem City asks you
Can you hear her call?
[Chorus – Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
I am Tecumseh
The birth of aviation
Calm before the storm
Above the jet stream
Scramjet and ramjet engines
Dance with UFOs
She’s better than the rest, she is blessed
With innovation on a mission
For her proud nation
[Refrain]
[Bridge – Instrumental]
[Refrain]
[Chorus – Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I am Tecumseh
And I was born upon this
Land long ago
A shooting star burst
Across Miami Valley
Cosmic afterglow
[Chorus – Instrumental]

Yellow Cab
[Verse 1]
Call a taxi
Take a trip
Light a spark
And throw a kiss
In a yellow cab
Grab ahold and
Climb aboard
Riffs and rhymes
Run up ahead
In a yellow cab
[Refrain]
Yellow cab, mellow yellow
Yellow submarine
There’s no place like the right time
If life is but a dream
Yellow cab, yellow ribbon
What you feel can make it real
Sons and daughters
Test the waters
See there is more earth than sea
[Verse 2]
Turn about
Twist ‘n shout
Tell me how you work it out
In a yellow cab
Tune it up
And Count it down
Now you know
When you’re lost you’re found
In a Yellow cab
[Refrain]
[Bridge]
When you feel part of the scenery
Turn off your machinery
In a yellow cab
Times you’ve been around the sun
Doesn’t really matter none
Freedom
In a yellow cab
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Call a taxi
Take a trip
Light a spark
And throw a kiss
For a Yellow cab
Grab a hold and
Climb aboard
Riffs and rhymes
Run up ahead
In a Yellow cab

Bank Talk
[Verse 1]
What do I know about her?
Why do I draw a blank?
How much do I pay her?
She’s the central bank
Those who talk don’t know her
Those who know don’t talk
Lying on her balance sheet
Hiding in the dark
[Verse 2]
What do I know about her?
Why do I draw a blank?
Where do they hide her secrets?
Who do I need to thank?
Cold as a corporate lawsuit
Mean as a drug cartel
Sharp as a chain reaction
Time to break her spell

Dead People Can't Vote
[Verse 1]
The other day I was walkin’
Past the tomb of the registered voter
I said, how unfair our ancestors are there
The dead people can’t vote at all
[Refrain]
The dead people can’t vote at all
Except in Chicago and Florida, you know
Worked their fingers to the bone
For an 8’ x 3’ home
The dead people can’t vote at all
[Verse 2]
Now the dead people can’t vote
That ain’t legal
Aaaand if it ain’t legal
Might could be wrong
But right or wrong
We can sing this song
The dead people can’t vote at all
[Refrain]
[Chorus]
Well I’m voting what can I say
Voting my life away
Voting for business and pleasure
When I voted 4 times today
Don’t need ID they’d say
Old shoes on new feet
Whatever
[Verse 3]
Now when dead people come back to life
As zombies and vampires ’n such
We can wack ‘em on sight, you know
They’ve got no rights
The dead people can’t vote at all
[Bridge]
I pledge allegiance
And flagrantly hope
That we will take time to recall
The enduring words of our forefathers,
Those who had no indoor plumbing:
“Give me immortality or give me death”
[Refrain]

Home School Miracle
[Verse 1]
I rode to a factory school
On a bus burnin’ diesel fuel
I had a homeroom teacher
Mr. Kool-Aid drinker
Hang on
What did I learn?
Zero tolerance
Prison jumpsuits for all of us
They had the cameras spinnin’
For a school to prison parade
[Anthem]
[Verse 2]
A loud speaker called me down
One-size-fits-all told me I’m a clown
Put me in detention when I asked
For whom the bell trolls
Resource officer hack
Law enforcement was hot on my back
That’s when I grew some wings
I packed my bags and things
I was gone
Yee-haw!
[Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Now they call me the home school miracle
And when they see me, they get hysterical
Cause it’s empirical
I got to here from there
Aprendo Español mit kein Gestapo
Carry on
[Interlude]
But wait, there’s more
They either get it
Or they don’t
If they don’t get it
They’re gonna get it
[Outro]
It’s time to call the boys in the lead pajamas
Cause I radiate power like there’s no mañana
The difference makes the difference
When your life is in tune
Super double awesome possom
Get the frick out my room
I said yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
