Misguided Missile I'm a social guerrilla, eating my way through the streets! I'm a political Godzilla, trashing the world at my feet! Viva the pseudo-intellectual! Long live the leftist Hitler youth! Right-wing social aesthetic! Crapping in a voting booth! DEFCON: Defecation! Misguided missile on the loose! Eat my insurrection! Misguided missile of abuse! I don't need your sources! I won't do a fact-check! I gotst my own problems ... and I blame you for my mess! Got no need for your opinion! Got no need for your truth! But I've got something to tell you: Stick it up your ignorant caboose! DEFCON: Defecation! Misguided missile on the loose! Eat my insurrection! Misguided missile of abuse! I am Anarcho-Instamatic! Hail to the populist regime! I am your law and disorder! Holy crypto-manic libertine! DEFCON: Defecation! Misguided missile on the loose! Eat my insurrection! Misguided missile of abuse!

Jump Into The Vortex I don't wanna be here; maybe I wanna be there. I can't see myself anywhere! What a drag! Oh, oh … what a drag. I can't skip to the beat. I can't swing by a chord. I can't read the score! What a drag! Oh, oh … what a drag. Jump into the vortex! Jump into the vortex! Jump into the vortex! Right now! Oh, oh … right now. Supra-sentimental. Subatomic elemental. Dominant potential. What a drag! Oh, oh … what a drag. Fuck the Gouda! Fuck the Mozzarella! Fuck the Feta! Emmental! Eat! Eat Emmental! Jump into the vortex! Jump into the vortex! Jump into the vortex! Right now! Oh, oh … right now. Liberate the libertine! Masturbate with magazines. Liquidate the right machine! Deprecate the human scene! Refrigerate the magazine. Advocate the Byzantine. Sanctify the Philistine. Bless the holy aubergine! Oh, oh … what a drag. Oh, oh … what a drag. Jump into the vortex! Jump into the vortex! Jump into the vortex! Right now! Oh, oh … right now. Reprobate! Reprobate! Reprobate! Music & Lyrics by: Jay Leonard Schwartz (ASCAP) Published by: ELTzone Music (ASCAP)

NO CHORUS HOME Da dadada da. Dada dada da. Da dadada da. Dada dada da. Da dadada da. Dada dada da. Da dadada da. Dada dada da. Winter's on my window pane; summer's at my back. Looking for a sad refrain to whisk me home and back. Somewhere there's a world for me, maybe in my pocket. Naked but for sanity, somewhere please to hock it. Da dadada da. Dada dada da. Da dadada da. Dada dada da. Da dadada da. Dada dada da. Da dadada da. Dada dada da. Here beside the waterfall and all I hear is noise. V8 engine overdrive threatens to steal my poise. I came here looking for a ride into the vast unknown But here I sit awaiting passage just to take me home. Da dadada da. Dada dada da. Da dadada da. Dada dada da. Da dadada da. Dada dada da. Da dadada da. Dada dada da. I have left you long ago seething in your bile Thankful I have long forgotten your jaded poisoned smile. You whipped me, beat me, told me lies. “Yes, sir! Three bags full!” I said. Sent me to my own decline … Taught me to say, “More! More!” Die dadada die! Dada die! Die! Die! Da dadada die! Dada die! Die! Die! Die dadada die! Dada die! Die! Die! Die dadada die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Music & Lyrics by: Jay Leonard Schwartz (ASCAP) Published by: ELTzone Music (ASCAP)

With You 02:28
With You Don't ask me why I don't see eye to eye with you. I don't see why I should see eye to eye with you. It's just the way I am. Don't wanna understand. It's just the way I am with you. Don't ask me why I don't agree with you … Boo hoo! Don't want to read between the lines with you … Adieu! It's just the way I am. Don't wanna understand. It's just the way I am with you. Don't ask me why I don't believe in you. It's true. I don't see why I should be here with you and blue. It's just the way I am. Don't wanna understand. It's just the way I am with you. It's just the way I am. Don't wanna understand. It's just the way I am with you. Music & Lyrics by: Jay Leonard Schwartz (ASCAP) Published by: ELTzone Music (ASCAP)

Grey Moon 03:49
GREY MOON Ah … I've seen you a hundred times before. What's with your smile? And I've seen you light up the room before. What did you score? Talk to me baby. Will it be black or white? Talk to me baby. There's a grey moon out tonight. Ah … I've heard it all been said before. What's your line? And I've walked beyond that door before. Hey! Goodbye! Talk, talk to me baby. Will it be black or white? Talk, talk to me baby. There's a grey moon out tonight. Ah … I've seen you walk that walk before. Bump and grind. And I've seen you hawk them wares before. It's a crime! Talk, talk to me baby. Will it be black or white? Talk, talk to me baby. There's a grey moon out tonight. Ah … I've seen that look on you before. So sublime! So I've tumbled down that hole before. Hey! Goodbye! Talk to me baby. Will it be black or white? Talk, talk to me baby. There's a grey moon out tonight.

Trump Abstentia You crazy white girl from Africa! You screaming banshee from Attica! Soothing words of Seneca? Hey! Check your mind in abstentia! We've got the makings of utopia! We'd rather build fucking dystopia! We will not tolerate differentia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! We want a cultural Siberia! We want to worship Wikipedia! We want to burn encyclopedias! We check our minds in abstentia! We want to cultivate fantasia! We want historical dementia! We want to liberate our labia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! Dip dip dip … Dip dip dip … We want to castrate nymphomania! We want to censor genitalia! We celebrate schizophrenia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! We check our minds in abstentia! “Vote For Trump! Vote For Trump! Baa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-h! Vote For Trump! Vote For Trump! Baa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-h! Vote For Trump! Vote For Trump! Baa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-h!

Motley Charms I couldn't help notice that you're dressed in black. All eyes forward as they follow you back. Anticipating where your shadow falls, I sit here waiting at your beck and call. It makes no difference if they're ready or not. They're swept away in the wake of your motley charms. Your motley charms. You tear a jagged hole through temporal space. Time, it don't matter when I look in your face. Shattered refraction in a shard of stained glass. Irradiating like a nebulous gas. It makes no difference if they're ready or not. They're swept away in the wake of your motley charms. Your motley charms. Your motley …. And now I'm drifting in peaceful distress. Event horizon when you start to undress. It makes no difference if they're ready or not. They're swept away in the wake of your motley charms. Your motley charms. Your motley charms. Motley charms … Jay Leonard Schwartz: lead vocals, electric rhythm guitar, harmonica Steve Vassilakopoulos: acoustic guitar, electric spoon George Yannatis: drums, percussion, kazoo Jens Eimecke: electric lead guitar Music & Lyrics by: Jay Leonard Schwartz (ASCAP) Published by: ELTzone Music (ASCAP)

My Wild Muse 06:36
MY WILD MUSE My wild muse is burning and my soul's aflame. Searing through my mindset and beckons me to play. My wild muse is a fire. She sets my heart ablaze. Whispers in the night-wind ... and haunts all my days. My wild art is burning, raging and so sweet! Flying on creative wings to my muse to meet. My wild passion's burning, fueled with love's desire! My wild muse, she swings low to me ... But then ... But then ... But then ... she soars higher. My wild passion's burning, fueled with love's desire! My wild muse, she swings low to me ... But then ... But then ... But then ... she soars higher. Music & Lyrics by: Jay Leonard Schwartz (ASCAP) Published by: ELTzone Music (ASCAP)

Too Many Broken Too many opinions. Too many cliches. Too many expectations. Too many to obey. Too many fare-thee-wells. Too many come-what-mays. Too many words unspoken. Too many costs to pay. Broken! Broken! Broken! Broken! Broken! Broken! Broken! Broken! Too many lives to live. Too many fade away. Too many hearts un-felt. Too many lost the way. Too many much-adore-you. Too many nothings to say. Too many pasts and futures. Too many not-today. Broken! Broken! Broken! Broken! Broken! Broken! Broken! Broken!

Welcome To A Meme World Johnny can't read ... but he sure can meme! Suzy can't write ... but she sure can text! The Donald can't speak ... but he sure can be president! Welcome to a meme world; it's a meme world after all. Welcome to the meme world; it's a meme world after all. Now, Sarah can't think … but she sure can shoot a gun! And Ryan can't listen … but he sure can flip the bird. Sam can't see … but he sure can troll the world! Welcome to a meme world; it's a meme world after all. Welcome to the meme world; it's a meme world after all. Ted's gotta mouth ... but he don't know how to use it! Ben's got degrees ... but his brain's not in it! Mitch's got an itch ... but he don’t know where to put it! Welcome to a meme world; it's a meme world after all. Welcome to the meme world; it's a meme world after all.

Seeds & Stems GJ357D! What in the world you gonna be? A super-earth to sow our seed … Someplace safe to hide our weed. Eat the meat! Abuse the land! Global crisis in our hands! Go ballistic! Screw the plan! Press the button—start again! Go wacka wacka with your seeds and stems! Go wacka wacka with your seeds and stems! Go wacka wacka with your seeds and stems! Seeds and stems! Seeds and stems! In the stars, seek salvation. Screw the past, damn the nation! Take a transport and be grateful. Someplace new to escape to! Hug a tree! Roll the leaves! Sow the seeds! Smell the breeze! Amazing blaze, how sweet it smells! A new galactic drug cartel! Go wacka wacka with your seeds and stems! Go wacka wacka with your seeds and stems! Go wacka wacka with your seeds and stems! Seeds and stems! Seeds and stems! (Talk Over) Sign sez, your Lordships, “Disembark from the Mothership!” Upon arriving in the new world, leave all valuables in the storage areas. Run free and inhale deeply at your own discretion. Society will not be held responsible for shattering your illusions. Please drive thru ... Music & Lyrics by: Jay Leonard Schwartz (ASCAP) Published by: ELTzone Music (ASCAP)
