Border War (Extended)

Communiqué Denied I've got a black suit on and a sky-blue tie. I'm shackled and barefoot, babe, and I think I might die. I had my hair all slicked back just the way you like, But they messed it all up. I can really see this now all in a movie. Even now, I think I'm looking dreamy With this cool sneer on my face while those others scream at me In some crazy dialect of their occupying language. The one guy speaks pretty good broken English But asks me about stuff I've never even heard of. One time, some other guy lit my hand with a Zippo lighter. He just held it there while another held me by the hair. I couldn't stand it; I'm still devastated by it. I wanted you here then, as I do now, so I could squeeze you tightly in hopes to absorb some of this screeching searing pain I feel during what could be my last night on earth.

Bunnies 03:12
Bunnies We try to name all the bunnies and keep track of them. They get backstories; personalities often spring forth from their features. Nugget is often the tiniest bunny of the season. There was Biscuit and Gravy, two little bunnies. They were in love. Sometimes at dusk, we would stand out on the veranda wondering aloud if Biscuit and Gravy were down their little hidey-hole snuggling. Snoozy was a loner and would lounge every warm, sunny afternoon near the ferns and flowers on what we call The Grassy Knoll. You taught Snoozy how to feast on your chopped-up apple cores, gradually coaxing him to chomp on them right beneath us. Maynard's got a beatnik neck-beard, and Pickles got short ears. They dash back and forth, sometimes right at each other, taking turns avoiding collision by springing a few feet straight up into the sky, faster than Olympic track. This is our I-max . . . The free wooded area next door not only houses varieties of flowers that bloom at different times, there's many other sources of cover from hawks. To our knowledge, there is no record of any any hawk ever having any luck with any bunny over here, and there never will be. That one time, that cat had something I was able to ascertain that it was definitely not a bunny . . .

They Will Invade They never speak around me like statues, but moving Become flesh and blunt words Once I'm done catching glimpse of them Do they break their cover? They will invade . . . A lot of them are already here . . . At gun clubs and chat rooms and sites on the dark web They plan things; I know it I'll lurk if I feel safe Still reading terrible things That should be from another country With a terrible past They say they only need 3% They will invade A lot of them are already here And we just don't know who they are yet Or some of us know someone maybe They could be next door or across the street Polishing their guns and feeling their notches Or imagining what it'll feel like To carve in their first of many notches The enemy can be anywhere Anywhere in a matter of hours Without grenades, without grenades And landmines in the front yard And underneath the back deck: A line of heads on spikes It's insane to be unarmed, my darling It's insane to be unarmed, my darling Yet here we are unarmed . . .

Border War 04:02
Border War That honeysuckle plant in the disputed territory Has been stripped of all life That guy on the other side is a monster That plant looks like Mordor now It looks like Mordor Landlord's brought in the surveyor Proves 15 feet's been snatched up by that neighbor His riding mower and old white ass Been shooting dirt, pebbles and sticks At the side of our house from 2 feet away for too long Border war – lock the doors Border war – call the lawyers A 3% chance is just too much I can't risk that now Because I'm smack-dab in the middle of a border war

Baby Dragons 04:09
BABY DRAGONS baby dragons spewing flames. baby dragons swirl. Makes the realm such a cooler place. baby dragons hover above that drag queen's shoulders for this week's challenge. that's baby dragons, ru. baby dragons not yet beast enough to convey the raw power that they will wield. baby dragons. those 2 baby dragons there travel the arid land with the arid queen; they nearly starve to death but they live! they live! on my tv. baby dragons smelt with her brother's head. Baby dragons with my honey on the brick. baby dragons with my honey on the brick: she makes up a theme song with dance moves to the beginning of the guitar riff of cream's "sunshine of your love." baby dragons coupled with her real true pure joy. baby dragons coupled with her real true pure joy.

SPACE IS ONE PLACE space is one place the zone where my bones don't need no skin or muscles or a face. purposefully cryptic, but i can replicate this if you doubt. ocean out here evaporates in full regalia. i'm jet-propelled by a trance a miasma always in e minor. soon enough, i will switch to my moon accent then glide with rockets off. some might call that falling. nothing to land on. yeshua pumps my breath so what's the diff? i'm jet-propelled by a trance a miasma always in e minor. soon enough i will switch to my moon accent then glide with rockets off. that my lungs even function here is the miracle because it's space. that my guitar isn't crushed here is a miracle because it's space. this space is almost impossible like an imaginary number. square root of negative one made plain. i say space is one place. jet-propelled by a trance: a miasma always in e minor. soon enough i will switch to my moon accent then glide with rockets off then glide with rockets off

MEIN WASSER IST SCHMUTZIG those aren't real clouds in the traditional sense. mister, we've already had some earthquakes. they say right here's gonna be beachfront property and with it will come the horseflies and teenagers with their madison avenue accessories. mein wasser ist schmutzig. a one gig hard drive the year i first used a computer costs $319,000. what do you mean this isn't covered by my policy? that company's fracking caused it. now they're naming winter storms, what's next? what did you say the deductible for this is? 3% of the dwelling value? what's 3% of $135,000? oh my god, i'm ruined. mein wasser ist schmutzig. the ocean creeps closer, compartmentalized into kafkaesque locations that can only be neutralized by the robot dance by the robot dance. where do they dump all the dead computers now? where do they dump all the dead computers now? we've had the secret monsoons and more secret monsoons are on the way. what is it again that pollinates? the correct answer is "the sea is taking LSD." no, just kidding; the water's converting to acid and the phytoplankton hunger strike laughing with their data plan smirks.

Weird Reason 03:30
Weird Reason It's the end of an era A colossal failure of the modern world To point its lenses inward, I mean outward, You know what I mean What? You weren't listening? You call that bacon sizzling? You call that money glistening? You call those sunny glimmerings? I'll tell you what the fuck you got You got access to pretty much anything you want Except for this It's the end of an era A colossal failure of the modern world To point its lenses inward, I mean outward, You know what I mean To click that link and drink that drink Capitalism says lots of stuff Be that as it may Capitalism always gets what it wants in the end Sustainability's cancer got us believing it's good for us It's genius in its scope of balls To make threats about what it would be like Without the Military-Industrial Complex Capitalism always gets what it wants in the end
