    • Straight Up Otter Time

      Peace out, land
      I’m leaving this scene
      Count me amongst the submarine
      ‘Cause the scientific name of my best friends is
      Pronounced as “Lontra canadensis”

      Let’s see some friends of mine
      The underwater kind
      From cool to hotter climes
      Straight up otter time

      Let’s see some friends of mine
      The underwater kind
      Swim through a lotta slime
      Straight up otter time

      I’m hanging with these dudes with subaqueous skills
      And insulated coats for the subaqueous chills
      In colors including white, brown, black and grey
      Hold on to my hand so that you don’t drift away

      Let’s see some friends of mine
      The underwater kind
      From cool to hotter climes
      Straight up otter time

      Let’s see some friends of mine
      The underwater kind
      From the salty brine
      Straight up otter time

      Let’s see some friends of mine
      The underwater kind
      From cool to hotter climes
      Straight up otter time

      Let’s see some friends of mine
      The underwater kind
      Skateboarding's not a crime
      Straight up otter time

      Their eyes are shielded from the lake
      By membranes that nictitate
      Their habitats tend to be varied:
      Swamplands, woodlands, estuaries

      They inhabit rocky shores
      And are mostly carnivores
      But sometimes eat aquatic plants
      C’mon everybody, do the otter dance

      Do the otter dance

      Let’s see some friends of mine
      The underwater kind
      From cool to hotter climes

    • Magnetic Shield

      amongst these mountains
      you decide to battle me
      i’m buying bullets
      while you buy all the batteries
      i think i’m putting you upon the path of danger
      but you got the power ‘cause i can’t see your angle

      (your) Magnetic shield
      You keep me out with an electric field
      (your) Magnetic shield
      You turn back my attack with an electrical field

      i’m arming ordnance to elicit MIRV damage
      you respond with funky bombs that multiply, so i savage
      ly lock the target and adjust for wind direction
      but i did not calculate the force of your deflection

      (your) Magnetic shield
      You keep me out with an electric field
      (your) Magnetic shield
      You turn back my attack with an electrical field

      (your) Magnetic shield
      You keep me out with an electric field
      (your) Magnetic shield
      You repel the incoming shells with the nuclear yield

    • Multi-Laired (feat. Toril Lindqvist of Alice in Videoland)

      you don’t have a prayer

      we’re multi-laired

      you’ll be ensnared

      we’re multi-laired

      i’ve got a tomb of horrors and hall of doom
      a technodrome and a panic room
      secret passageways, ramparts and a moat
      and all the treasure is trapped, so i know that you don’t
      have a prayer

      i’ve got a black pyramid and a neutral zone
      with a skull motif on my iron throne
      and all the underwater exits are guarded by boats
      you can’t escape through the vents, so i know that you don’t
      have a prayer

      chicagooooo

      one hideout has the hand grenades
      one has got the garden maze
      one's equipped with missle turrets
      one's guarded by abyssal demons
      not a single reason to be scared
      there's more than one, we’re multi-laired

    • Sun Shy

      dragging on throughout the day
      all my strength is sapped away
      i just wanna hit the hay
      and stray from the waking world

      but when it's dark, I come alive
      all my systems come online
      the night is when I energize
      and rise when the day’s adjourned

      i defy the nuclei that strike the sky from space
      when the sun turns off we
      fire up the coffee
      and the synthesizers
      and cubase

      we stay up late
      and we percolate
      and we oscillate

      in the lightless nightshift

      we shun the sun

      i’m justified
      just stepping outside
      in cimmerian skies

      in the lightless nightshift

      we shun the sun

      don’t wanna dominate the world
      instead, I’ll take the zoo
      and party with the polar bears and the kangaroos
      ‘cause all the coolest critters congregate nocturnally
      and I’m the coolest cat in town, so they’ve all heard of me

      but let’s submerge when we converge to escape this cruel candescence
      ‘cause i don’t need the sun to see with bioluminescence

    • +8 XP

      I don’t know if you recall, but I remember it well
      We were in a random chat room on irc
      I sent you some of my music over the DSL
      You said it was cool and that meant a lot to me
      ‘Cause five years later, we’re both rocking the scene
      Discussing arpeggiators in festival green
      Rooms and
      I don’t know if i can thank you guys enough
      ‘Cause i only got this far by studying your stuff

      Very important to me
      +8 XP
      Providing protocol, developmentally
      +8 XP

      Analyzing structures and processes
      +8 XP

      And when the beat erupts,
      I level up

      +8
      +8 xp

      Albums and remixes each better than the last ‘cause you said your favorite track was the next one
      Turning up the bass (“base” GET IT?) with every dancefloor smash beyond a ten like it was hexadecimal
      This is not a call to action to reform the band
      I understand how it gets when you need to move on
      But i do think it’s worth
      Expressing in verse
      That i think you guys made a bunch of really great songs

    • Loktwarr Danalora

      conjuring conduit for causing metamorphosis
      arcane catalyst for this corporeal contortionist
      altering appearances, although the change is torturous
      with my might & magic, we’ll penetrate these fortresses

    • Mermaids vs. Manticores (feat. Sirenne)

      first vampires fought the werewolves
      then demons and gargoyles fought frankenstein
      now prepare for the next epic battle
      of the mythological kind

      hominin head
      leonine torso
      manticores abhor remorse no
      one escapes when we take flight
      our tails are armed with stalactites

      mermaids
      kill with a kiss
      drag you down into the abyss

      manticores
      mermaids
      face two new monster brigades

      mermaids
      manticores
      phase three of the monster wars

      phase three of the monster wars

      phase three of the monster wars

      beautiful bait
      for a maritime trap
      these iron maidens
      are on the attack
      succumb to the siren song of the sea
      less S.O.S., more R.I.P.

      manticores won’t fall for
      your high seas harassment
      especially the scorpion variant

    • From Amanda

      This one’s for you, Seth!

      It's from Amanda!

      She started hitting the club to hear you spin
      Then you ran a game where she was the paladin and
      Now your lady wants to make an inquiry
      And got the best band in town to do so musically

      A question for Seth
      From Amanda
      Will you marry me?

      Be my Batman
      My Green Lantern
      Will you marry me?

      This is a for-real marriage proposal!

      You lift my spirits like a levitation spell
      I’ll defend you from the bugbears and ne’er-do-wells
      This party only needs me and my counterpart
      No thief required
      ‘Cause you already stole my heart

      A question for Seth
      From Amanda
      Will you marry me?

      The song is done now
      So what’s the answer
      Will you marry me?

    • Chica Vampiro

      (Rodney Anonymous and MC Lars wrote these.)

      Saturday, one o'clock
      I turn the TV to Mondo Fox
      There's a show I've got to watch
      There's a show that just plain rocks
      A high school girl named Daisy O'Brien
      Who's also a vampire; I ain't lyin'
      The acting is better than Robert De Niro
      It's time to watch

      Chica Vampiro

      Everybody did a grave, dig a grave

      Reruns of Buffy can be OK
      But I just can't watch them every day
      Not when there's so much at stake
      So drop that hero - get with a zero
      It's time to watch

      Chica Vampiro

      [MC LARS]
      Chica Vampiro, me gusta mucho
      Telenovela, amor y justo
      Colombian hit, ninos pequenos
      Scaring their parents and haunting their sueños
      Max de la Torre puede bailar
      cuando Ulises O’Brian is far
      Twilight it’s not, but still rocks the spot
      Chica Vampiro, voy a mirar a lot

    • Death Touch

      the army's on its way
      to stop your kumite
      but you must qualify
      for honor in your master's eye

      i've seen you take a hit
      and even kick the splits
      but entry is not based on kicks
      you must first make tricks with bricks

      be
      the best you can be
      you've arrived
      now fight to survive

      death touch
      don't worry, it won't hurt much
      after going numb from being punched in the nuts

      superior to the one inch punch
      piledriver and camel clutch

      now you’ve made it in
      the tournament begins
      he says that you are next
      then caps it with a flex of pecs

      and then that very guy
      throws powder in your eyes
      have a flashback to be reminded
      how to fight when you’ve been blinded

      be
      the best you can be
      you've arrived
      now break the record time

    • On Another Plane

      you and me make a maze
      we deconstruct with a crane
      we set the whole world ablaze
      on another plane

  • Super Scary Action Figure (I Want To Eat Your Brain)

    on the shelves of powers comics
    way up in green bay
    i found a guy that i’d been looking for since back in the day
    a pliable maniacal alien creature
    with a slimey living web and the power of speech
    eradicate the spider-man
    is what we’re gonna do
    i want to grab you by the arms and legs and tear you in two
    i want to get inside your head like a psychic stain
    i want to
    i want to

    i want to eat your brain
    i want to eat your brain
    i want to eat your brain
    i want to eat your brain
    severed at the head and rent in twain
    a doppelganger’s dead with disconnected remains
    i want to eat your brain

    monochromatic monster
    from outer space
    shooting stuff out my hands
    and saying words out my face
    actually they come from a box on my back
    with color coded buttons, so you can keep track
    of all the scary soundbytes and phrases i speak
    try recalling me when i knock you into next week

    i want to eat your brain
    i want to eat your brain
    i want to eat your brain
    i want to eat your brain
    severed at the head and rent in twain
    crack open the cranium, see what it contains
    i want you to
    [DIE, SPIDER-MAN]

  • Drop Dead, Squid Face!

    rising up 'cause the stars say it's time
    sinking back at the sight of the sign

    waking when the dreams start to change
    death dies when the aeons are strange

    DROP DEAD, SQUID FACE!

  • Ultrasweaty

    ten minutes into the set
    and we’re already drenched
    from being covered in sweat
    because we get so intense

    oh yeah, we cook up beats for breakfast
    then burn those calories
    so you can feel the wetness
    coming from the energy

    we got on beverage on
    so get your body ready
    we get ultrasweaty

    we’re eating energon
    so keep the rhythm steady
    we get ultrasweaty

    twelve minutes into the set
    and we get waterlogged
    from being covered in sweat
    from the hair of the dog

    oh yeah we cook up beats for dinner
    then store up the power
    and release it all on stage
    in a gothsicle shower

  • I Sniffed the Glove (vs. Cyferdyne)

    Playing Sheffield’s Corporation
    On stage set to thrill
    With PCP Principle
    And Cyferdyne on the bill
    But the Cyfer guys needed
    An olfactory lift
    Went back into green room
    To find out that the glove was sniffed

    I sniffed the glove

    We sing serious songs
    About serious stuff
    We're a serious band
    Making jokes about spuff

    We played with The Gothsicles
    Down at corporation
    They said that we could sniff the glove
    So we did, no hesitation.

    Soaking up the sweat of my industrial stank
    With a scent to bowl you over like a dinosaur tank
    Taking damage over time from the senses assailed
    When poisonous vapors
    From the glove are inhaled

    It's so intoxicating
    Drink it in like River Phoenix
    We only wrote the last line
    So that we could say the word “dicks”

    And the stink doesn’t stop
    With what I wear on my hand
    Because I am known far and wide
    Throughout the land
    As a natural resource
    Of critical mass
    ‘Cause I can power a city
    With methane gas

    I just need to quickly go to the toilet
    Don't worry, I'll be back
    Wait, what, we-we're on now?
    UH! This is Cyferdyne and The Gothsicles!
    DO IT! DO IT NOOOOOOW!!!!

    You should have told me that it smelt so nasty
    I sniffed so hard I need a rhinoplasty
    You gave me all those drinks and then you took advantage
    Teasing us with, that Chicago meat sandwich
    Feeling violated, feeling totally used
    With all the time we've spent a part, we've all got the blues
    We think that you don't love us
    We think that you don't care
    We post your pics on Facebook and you don't even share

    Gonna go back to England
    And then I'm gonna getcha
    Your vocals are like Hocico
    Beat up by Ke$ha
    Your rhyme is in the shell
    Mine are totally ample
    10 minutes left of Watchmen
    That you didn't sample

    Eye make-up, ties and suits
    And album covers stolen from Crysis 2
    Autotuned to insane level
    Feel the burn, you dorks forever

    You spit rhymes like Shakespeare
    But a Shakespeare who likes toys
    Is your sound original? Or a rip off Beastie Boys?
    Too busy saving mermaids, or getting drunk cuts
    You drop beats like a juggler, who totally sucks

    You've got thick thumbs, like fat girls thighs
    Nintendo masturbation will damage your eyes
    We've run out of trash, ‘cause you’re such a nice guy
    But F.Y.I. 8 Bit died.

    Also, just for your information, we don't use auto-tune at all, so thank
    you

    I sniffed the glove and I liked it
    The smell of your sweaty fingers

    I sniffed the glove just to try it
    And I think I just don't mind it
    We're English for god’s sake!

  • Give Me One More Chance to Get the Hi-Score, Then We Can Go

    you know we played all the games in this vintage arcade
    like golden axe and streets of rage
    but i got pac-man’s high score in my sights
    one more thing to do tonight

    one more
    high score
    shot and if not,
    baby, let me get the door

    one more
    high score
    try & if i die
    we’ll come back another time

    one more
    high score
    shot and if not,
    baby, let me get the door

    one more
    high score
    attempt
    it’s intense
    baby, loan me 25 cents

    gimme 25

    we played heavy barrel in two player mode
    but arcade style contra doesn't take the code

    we hit the pinball version of doctor who
    and then annihilated at street fighter ii

    and we destroyed at rampage, got all the way to des moines
    then ran out of change 'cause the thing ran out of coins

    be the benefactor of this ascent

    "U&I" at the top of the list
    is my intent

  • Moon Knight Is Cool

    i love cosmic adventures and high powered endeavors
    but the raddest stuff in town is going down at street level
    not a huge hulking bruiser or lightning bolt blaster
    just a dude with an attitude
    sporting alabaster

    pick a crescent from your spine
    (moon knight is cool)
    you can see him coming by design
    (moon knight is cool)
    vengeance has a new redeemer
    (moon knight is cool)
    broken arms and shattered femurs
    (moon knight is cool)

    he’s got tons of money
    and a sidekick who’s french and
    he once took on nefaria including the henchmen
    if you look at the contents of my bookshelf
    you’ll find it’s got more issues than marc spector’s mental health

    pick a crescent from your spine
    you can see him coming by design
    vengeance has a new enforcer
    broken arms on broken torsos

    pick a crescent from your derrière
    you can see him coming from everywhere
    vengeance has a new avatar
    doling out the moon shaped forehead scars

    helicopters
    and bolo guns
    it’s like 3 batmans for the price of one

    old man, i don’t wanna fight you
    there’s a blade housed in your walking stick

    your reflexes are much too quick

  • Cthulhu Fhartwagon

    my brother lends me his van
    when we go on the road
    where we get hella bad gas
    from drinking beer by the buttload
    we decided that the vehicle
    was called the fartwagon
    because we leave it stinky
    and horrible like dagon

    there’s tons of weird stuff in my brother’s van
    a single high heel and an empty paint can
    a bass amp wrapped in my parents old sheets
    and 50 cdrs of super crappy hip hop beats

    iä iä
    a van full of farts
    the steering wheel locks up
    it takes an hour to start

    equal parts octopus, toyota, dragon

    here’s more weird stuff
    that we found in the van
    a glass with the inscription: “all american sports fan”
    coloring books and six bucks in change
    the mythos of this van has made me deranged

    more numerous than young from the black goat of the woods
    are the various containers of consumable goods
    like a terrifying vista of reality
    a mobile shrine to our gastronomic malady

  • Bloodlust Software Was Awesome

    strip mall
    milwaukee
    a shareware rack
    a 3.5 inch floppy encased in shrink wrap

    took out my wallet and said
    here, i’ll take this
    then proceeded to install it on my 386

    switched from expanded to extended memory
    and after sorting out the RAM I see
    a digital display of unspeakable gore
    hook up the modem to the phone because I gotta get more

    we must
    knock the noggins around

    adjust
    the screwed up settings for sound

    blades thrust
    leaving limbs on the ground

    flesh by the pound

    encrusted in the lust

    quit to dos
    and load up a game

    then toss
    about heads of the maimed

    the last boss
    is a takar named staine

    the threat is sussed
    encrusted in bloodlust

    my addiction to their output grew like a virus
    ‘cause they were weird and maladjusted just like i was
    with cool enemies and characters by the dozen
    the games were for PC, but the content sure wasn't
    i’m not even talkin’ ‘bout the emulators
    despite them being as great as they were
    studies can’t confirm any effects on consumers
    but I grew up all gothic with a sick sense of humor

  • Show Respect to Aquaman
    Make way for the underwater royalty
    King of Atlantis and the Seven Seas

    Sometimes sporting a beard, sometimes clean shaven
    He's the one you call when the day needs savin'
    Who cares if all his powers are water based?
    He can punch evil right in the face
    Who cares if he occasionally rides a seahorse
    When the ocean's in trouble, there's only one recourse
    Show respect to Aquaman
    Super cool, super powered and in demand
    'Cause every time a crazy situation gets drastic he
    Communicates with sea life telepathically
    Aquaman
    Aquaman
    You only think he's useless if you're stuck on the land
    Black Manta, Fisherman, and Ocean Master
    All get put down when he swims into action
    Who cares if he likes to hang out with walruses
    His orange scale armor is the peak of flawlessness
    Who cares if he can talk to fishes
    He's got bulletproof skin and that trident is vicious
    Show respect to Aquaman
    He’s so hardcore, he cut off his own hand
    It got replaced with a prosthetic harpoon
    But they retconned that in the New 52

    getting ready for the show when someone hands me a can
    or maybe it was more like a clear plastic bottle
    can’t remember ‘cause i took a sip and then i went full throttle
    at first i’m like “hey, where’s the party at?”
    at then i’m like “i think i’m going cardiac”
    i don’t know how long canada’s had this shit
    but that night was the first night that we’d heard of it

    chicagoans out their heads
    someone put a fifth of bacardi
    in my redbull
    the hangover is dreadful

    all put on awesome sets
    and then we were up next
    we took the stage with blue lips and shaking hands
    and rocked with the force one million industrial bands
    then afterwards collapsed on the floor in a mess
    thanks for the ride home to ‘for all the emptiness’
    a

    An I and then an A

    No Humpty Hump
    In this digital underground
    Blood in
    Blood out
    Blood shooting out your eyes
    Dig in
    Dug out
    Out of time and out of extra lives
    No reset
    No restart
    Injected
    And torn apart

  • Second Album Means It's Too Late to Change Your Band Name
    Remember your first email address?
    A memory that you might try to repress
    'Cause in 2001 at juno.com
    You were still known as gothicfairyprincess
    And I betcha somewhere you'd wish that you'd changed
    But to switch your email is a hell of a pain
    Recognition of the name goes down the drain
    And the whole thing holds true for band names, too
    Second time around means that your shit's solidified
    'Cause by the second time around the sound's by name identified
    And if you ever sought to alter that, you'd find yourself denied
    'Cause by the second time around you've wound the ropes by which you're tied
    Second time around
    It's constantly happening
    Bands always regretting
    The elected moniker
    By which they monitor
    The scene or register as their myspace thing
    'Cause I've heard that Tom Shear doesn't like band name
    And I've read that Fat Mike has expressed much that same
    But both those bands are awesome so it's like, ya know, whatever
    So yo, fuck it, "Gothsicles" forever
    Second time around means that your shit's solidified
    'Cause by the second time around the sound's by name identified
    And if you ever sought to alter that, you'd find yourself denied
    'Cause by the second time around, that appellation's bound
    Second time around means that it's too late to change your band name
  • Amphibious Trigonometry


    Monster school student bodies always seem to be diverse

    With like a mummy and a zombie and a demon student nurse

    And a mortician bus driver 'cause the bus is a hearse

    But one type of monster always has it the worst

    'Cause the werewolf guy's gig is to howl at the moon

    And the vampire kid can make the ladies swoon

    But you'll always wait for 3 in the afternoon

    If you're the fish kid from the black lagoon

    'Cause you need

    Water to breathe

    Can't take french 3

    Amphibiously

    Were you a zombie fish boy,

    Well then I 'spose it wouldn't matter

    As the undead do not require a breathing apparatus

    But I've never seen a revenant complete a swan dive

    Fish men maybe monsters, but they're clearly alive

    Can't be a football star like frankenstein

    The impact would surely crack your fragile spines

    Can't be in the school play with the opera phantom nerds

    'Cause your aquatic vocal chords can't ennuciate words

    Can't get a steady girl or friend with benefits

    'Cause no lady likes a guy who's been a fish

    But as marine based life, you can still take pride

    In fearing no swirly or bubbler ride

    'Cause you need

    Water to breathe

    Can't take trigonometry

    Amphibiously

    Were you a zombie fish boy,

    Well then I 'spose it wouldn't matter

    As the undead do not require a breathing apparatus

    But I've never seen a revenant complete a swan dive

    Fish men maybe monsters, but they're clearly alive

    And I'm glad they're not zombies

    For I confess

    That I'm WAY DONE WITH ZOMBIES

    But I digress

    The point is that school will make you depressed

    If you've got gills on your face and scales on your chest

    Tricklin' down ya throat

    With a Karma Jolt

    Drink it up

    Just one taste

    Of that bubbling karma crude

    Is complete stamina points

    So you disarm a dude

    And take all of his change

    After he's ceased to be alive

    And walk up to the counter

    And drop $15.25

    A jolt of karma in the arm allows for furtherance of harm

    A jolt of karma in the arm allows for furtherance of harm

    A jolt of karma in the arm allows for furtherance of harm

    A jolt of karma in the arm, a karma jolt

    Like a corrupt data compiler

    We're gonna mess up

    That ball of fire

    Douse the power it requires

    Video games all day

    No prior

    Kulcha

    Was ever glare free

    Those little light bursts

    Bouncing off the screen

    Annoying

    To the nth degree

    That's why the sun is gonna get one toll free

    Bomb blast

    In the precise vicinity

    To nullify negative charge

    For all infinity

    Cascade effects

    Chain reactions

    Atomic level annihilation

    To eff the sun

    Eff the sun

    Anti solar sentiment

    Is nothing new

    But my ostentatious arguments necessitate review

    My chief argument is

    That the sun eats poo

    And all gets up in my eyes

    When I play faxanadu

    And through

    A telescope

    I calculate

    The absolute destruction of all solar real estate

    And wait

    While the platform rises

    With more destructive force than 8 starship Enterprises

    But crap

    The hydraulics are broken

    Need to call tech support at the place I bought it from

    But the guy on the line is a freakin' jerk

    Man, I just need the lifting platform to work

    Reboot the machine, wait the for start up chimes

    Alright we're all good, now it's finally time

    Eternal darkness

    'Cause the sun's all charred

    Out on my lunch break

    Headed to the Chinese place for some delicious take

    Out but to my surprise

    I was to be penalized

    By a radar pair of eyes

    Birthmark playing in the car

    That fourth track is

    Worth four stars

    And then there was that officaaar

    Listenin' to mindFlux

    And spendin' the big bucks

    Pulled over by the law

    That ticket was bullshit

    And I shoulda fought it

    But it was in Waukesha

    I'm approached by a singer guy I recognize and subsequently with whom

    I converse & try to get reimbursed

    To get some money back into my wallet

    He's like "Huh?" I'm like "Yeah" he's like "No" I'm like "Cool"

    "'Cause i was just kidding about it"

    He's like "Dude man, that sucks, and you're not alone.

    Skinny Puppy's had me passing dudes in no passing zones.

    Freaking out

    Getting wild

    Getting wild

    Freaking out

    Freaking out

    Getting wild

    Getting wild and freaking out

    Ramp the wacky up

    Nine dudes freaking out

    And going berzerk

    Nine dudes throwing down

    And going to work

    A small percentage of the place

    All getting wild

    A booth in the back is where the coats are piled

    Shake your sillies out

    It's what I'm all about

    Basic masonry

    Requires grout

    A small percentage of the place

    All getting wild

    By the 14th of April

    Have your taxes filed

    The next morning, go out

    Get you something to eat

    Oh man, mimosas and a hostess cake or

    And it's only when the server staff

    Shows up with your food

    That the door gets knocked down

  • I Thought the CD Player Was Broken...But it was Just a Cyanotic Song (feat. Cyanotic)

    Hey, what's that noise?

    The CD player's busted

    Or the CD's scratched up

    And shitcake encrusted

    Oh wait

    It's just on shuffle

    And a Cyanotic track

    Is causing kerfluffles

    With stuttery takes

    And skippery sounds

    They wouldn't take this CD

    At the Disc-Go-Round

    'Cause they only stake stuff

    That's free of scratches

    And after a second of this

    My ear lobe detaches

    It's like Pantera at a hip hop show

    Or terminators driving down a bumpy road

    Or Robocop with a ruptured spleen

    Or someone who's role model is a machine

    Hey, you know that one Cyanotic band?

    They're the guys with the moving keyboard stand

    We're doing a collab with them on our second disc

    And the lead singer sounds just like this

    We're doing a collab with that Cyanotic band

    Careful, keyboard guy, or you'll crush your hands

    It just might be the hottest track on the disc

    And the lead singer screams just like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-i-i-i-i-i-s

    'Cause tonight we're going overboard, tonight you're getting rocked

    Because we've got a firepower surplus to allot

    And mono monster mashing always makes for a "challenging stage"

    But despite the symphony of destruction from my two-pronged attacks

    True lethal harmony was out because a duet was the max

    'Cause only double ships in Galaga could previously be attained

    But tonight a new joint wingman to the existing two is gained

    'Cause when the forces of the arcade meet our industrial electro

    The result is an unstoppable artillery trifecto

  • English License


    Now don't get me wrong

    When you hear this song

    'Cause I got five Project Pitchfork CDs on my desk

    Playing more than occasionally

    XMTP MP3s

    But we're the English Police,

    and you're under arrest!

    First off, the letter "V"

    Is pronounced differently

    Than the way in which the letter "W" is said

    Such linguistic mistakes

    Should be harder to make

    If you called up an American goth and got your shit proofread!

    Chorus:

    For crimes of crappy lyrics that don't make any sense

    Your judgment has been made and it decrees that forth hence

    Project Pitchfork, E-Craft, and Funker Vogt

    Your English License has been revoked!

    For crimes of crappy lyrics that don't make any sense

    Your judgment has been made and it decrees that forth hence

    Neuroticfish and E-Craft, and Funker Vogt

    Your English License has been revoked!

    And I will concede

    That I will stomp 'till I bleed

    To your music 'cause I'm not a hater

    But it's hard sound tough,

    Even vocoding wont' be enough,

    If your lyrics are written by a first grader

    But I'll let you off with a warning

    If you promise me one thing:

    That you'll figure out what the proper syllables to accent are

    'Cause your looped layers of static

    Will sound more dramatic

    When you don't sing like a goddamn dork...ALLES KLAR?

    (chorus)

    Breakdown:

    Bands are on the run from the grammatical police

    For their own good, we gotta find and fix mistakes from Germanese

    No more changing words to make a rhyme or rhyming same words twice

    'Cause it's possible write a hit were the words aren't sacrificed

    Soon we're gonna go put other places to the test

    By fixing up their lyrics, Scandanavia is next

    Making yudgments on the quality of lyrical esteem

    Chopping up shitty lyrics with a guil-e-o-tine

    The right accents aren't required to garner our approval

    But singing like an idiot means license removal

    And I aware of my own lyrical shortcomings

    Pronunciation errors that knock me out the running

    Saying Funker, not "Foonkah", when I know that that is wrong

    Showing blatant hypocrisy within my own damn song

    But I'll make an effort and strain

    To get it right on the refrain

    And here it comes again

    So raise your voice (not woice) and sing along!

    So I use my screen

    And there I see a thing

    That I can't believe

    There are still band logos made with Ogilvie

    'cause me,

    I'm something of a typeface connoisseur

    I eat chicken wing dings with my font du jour [tofu chicken]

    And I can spot your shitty fonts like a cheap toupee

    And still blow you away

    With my Arial display

    And when it comes to fonts,

    I annihilate

    And when I print my fonts,

    I always collate

    Some are narrow and condensed,

    Others heavyweight

    And I'm more gothic

    Than any Copperplate

    Hey, I've Got That Font

    And a full directory of all the TrueType you could want

    Hey, I've Got That Font

    They used Alleycat to advertise that local restaurant

    Hey, I've Got That Font

    With bolds and italics from here to Vermont

    Hey, I've Got That Font

    Creepygirl and Rockwell, I'm a fuckin' font savant

    There are so many fonts that I recognize

    Zoom in all you want, they won't pixelize

    'Cause I know the good shit from the replicas

    I'll see you in Helvetica

    and then a

    Big fucking axe will cut off your hands

    You used to be serif, but now you're sans

    And I got plans to make that font

    Used by Mickey D's

    I'll trace it out with the blood

    From where your hands used to be

    I customized a font so each serif ends in a hook

    But your custom font looks like gobbledygook

    And that's not Eras Lite but Eras Medium that you mistook

    And I'm more gothic

    Than any Franklin Book

    Hey, I've Got That Font

    And a full directory of all the TrueType you could want

    Hey, I've Got That Font

  • Mix This Song Into A23's "Maps of Reality"

    If you're gonna get paid

    For playing other people's music

    You'll probably wanna add some zing

    And here's one way to do it

    And I know that fancy mixing

    Doesn't always make a good DJ

    But still, my mom could put a CD in a deck

    And make it play

    "Maps of Reality"

    By Assemblage 23

    Has the same BPM

    And is in the same key

    As the track which you are hearing now

    It's Beat Match 101

    We'll synchronize

    The song's reprise

    And then we'll have some fun

    Because it's like a paint by numbers

    Except for the DJ booth

    Because a pause that lasts two seconds

    Just sounds sloppy and uncouth

    We'll make a beat match so precise

    You'll leave the dancefloor thunderstruck

    Because our mash-up will be organized

    And not just sheer (Shear?) luck

    "Maps of Reality"

    By Assemblage 23

    Is the subject of this mix

    Because I think that song is neat

    So whoever's at the decks,

    Prepare to bring the real beat back

    And cue it up to 9.7 seconds into the track

    Because it's like a paint by numbers

    Except for the disc jockey

    'Cause two shoes in a dryer

    Pisses off my Tamagotchi

    But train wrecks can be avoided

    And we're here to show you how

    So miss or mister DJ,

    Drop the beat...*NOW*

    Main synth in 5 4 3 2

    And cue Tom's vocals

    We'll end this shit when we reach the chorus

  • Better Versions By Other People


    Better versions by

    Other people

    Bigger beats and better synths

    And at least twice as evil

    Probably gonna overshadow mine

    But it's worth the risk

    Just to get a few more tracks

    On this goddamn disc

    Better versions by

    Other people

    When other people do the work

    It turns out much less feeble

    Should you hear this CD in a club

    It should be no surprise

    It's gonna be one these tracks

    By these other guys

    You spike your hair in such a way,

    It's blonde and sharp and pointy

    And it makes me want to say:

    SONIC BOOM!

    Cruc' Injection!

    Entering the room,

    Throwing catchy synth hooks at tremendous volume!

    Spikey blonde hair that's pointy and well groomed,

    You cannot withstand the industrial

    SONIC BOOM!

    Micah! You look like-ah

    Flashkicker!

    Micah! You look like-ah

    You're gonna hit M. Bison with a medium punch!

    You spike your hair in such a way,

    I hold back for two seconds

    Push forward and A!

    SONIC BOOM!

  • Devastator

    Autobots are going down

    'Cause there's an evil giant robotic

    New kid in town!

    Constructicons

    Form to create

    The amalgemous monstrosity that Autobots hate!

    Right arm is formed by Scavenger!

    Left leg is formed by Mixmaster!

    Scrapper, Long Haul, Bone Crusher

    Make up the rest!

    Hook creates the head that heroes detest!

    DEVASTATOR!

    Constructicons in battle

    With the Dinobots!

    They kick and claw and tear and share

    Commercial spots!

    But the forces of evil

    Rule the scene

    With an iron fist

    That's purple and green!

    Right arm is formed by Scavenger!

    Left leg is formed by Mixmaster!

    Scrapper, Long Haul, Bone Crusher

    Make up the rest!

    Hook creates the head that snaps on to his chest!

    DEVASTATOR!
