POINTLESS REQUESTS FROM THE CASIO™ CONCESSION

I remember innocence in all of it’s glory
I remember happiness like a fairy-tale story
But now the truth revealed:
They were just an illusion
The search for what is real only leads to confusion town

I don’t need to hear about the year 2000
I don’t need to hear about the second coming
I’m not in the mood to think about some kids with guns
Deed is done

Music, art and cinema well they used to inspire
Purest forms of humankind reduced to a dollar
The bottom line is king
Like the kings of our father’s then
Be grateful for the things
that slip through out father’s hands...

I don’t need to hear about the year 2000
I don’t need to fear about the second coming
I don’t have to wallow in this hype wars merchandise
It’s a vice

I don’t need to read about the President’s member
I don’t need to hear about the nukes in China
Don’t need to figure out this ethnic cleansing plan

Man’s inhumanity to man has always been :
Self inflicted sin!

Don’t need to hear about it (year 2000)
I don’t need to hear about it (year 2000)
I don’t need to hear about it (year 2000)
I don’t need to hear about it (year 2000)

I don’t need to hide from evilness
I only want to face it as it is
(It z what it iz)

I pray to someone that I get to the bottom of it all!

I don’t need to hear about the year 2000
I don’t need to fear about the planets aligning
What is this new-age pyramid dogma scheme?
Is it a dream?

I don’t need to hear about the next stigmata
I don’t want to sanctify more military spending
I just wanna find a spot where grace and balance grow

Is it close?
Is it close?
Is it close?
Are we close?
