PITCHSHIFTER LYRICS

1. Condescension

Complications, I get what you need. I said degradation, could you slip to your knees?
"Stop the game, stop the game," That's all we did, that's all we said. Could you know that we never show the...
Don't bother sending your condescension. If it's easier to keep pretending.
Isolations, I stick to the scene. I said deviation's not as fun as it seems.
"Not the same, not the same," that's all you said, that's all you did, could you know we never go for...
It's not that complicated. We're not that deviated. It's not that complicated.

2. Wafer Thin

Nothing's cool, nothing's clean, nothing's like it used to be. Nothing's sweet, nothing's smooth, nothing's got the best of me.
And no one's scared, 'cause no one cares now nothing's got a place to be. And no one cares, 'cause no one dares, and nothing's gonna comfort me.
You're wafer thin, you do me in, say nothing like you used to be. You're wafer thin, you do me in, stay nothing like the rest of me.
Nothing's right, nothing's sane, nothing's how it could've been. Nothing's straight, nothing's pure, yeah nothing's what it should've been.

3. Keep It Clean

I'd appreciate it very much if you'd just... And I'd appreciate it very much if you'd just... And I'd appreciate it very much if you'd just... And I'd appreciate it very much if you'd just...drop
dead.
Then shut the fuck up, just take it all away. Anything, just "keep it clean, keep it clean," I said.
You "keep it clean" -- you do OK. You play the smile you make the day. You "keep it clean," -- you do alright. You tow the line there's not fight.

4. Forget The Facts

Forget the fact that you don't know me. 'Cause there's nothing that you wanna know. Forget the fact that you won't show me. 'Cause there's nothing that you wanna show. Forget the fact
that I don't look like you. You keep singing "we don't change." Forget the fact this is nothing new.
Forget the violence, forget the pain. Our happy meals will taste the same. Forget the scandal, forget the sleaze. We'll drag the real thing to it's knees.
Forget the fact that I don't know you. When there's nothing I wanna know. Forget the fact that I won't go too. 'Cause there's nothing if I wanna go.. Forget the fact that this is nothing new.
And then we'll smile as we devise a brand new peace prize. Cash Back euthanasia schemes, GM children, low fat dreams. Jerry Springer, crack cocaine, another black box, another
plane. Instant access to friendly fire, plastic bullets, green barbed wire.

5. Hidden Agenda

Hidden agenda is bigger than you, I said, fit the pieces you make the moves. Hidden agenda is bigger than you.
And you, and you, and you...
What you gonna do?
Now we're sentience no one can lose. Hidden agenda is bigger than you. I said, here's the freedom, you made the news. Hidden agenda's still bigger than you.
And be thankful that it's all the same. It's the highest scoring losers game. And don't regret it, just forget it too. Hidden agenda is bigger than you -- Now what you gonna do?

6. Scene This

I bet you both, I bet you both -- you make the most. I set the scene, I set the scene -- I'll make you clean.
You can waste your time this time. Yes, you can waste your time not mine.
Because I'm never letting go. You know there's nothing else to be. I can't give up for you this time. You know I gotta set the scene.
I set you straight, I set you straight -- I take the bait. I set the scene, I set the scene -- I'll make you clean. I gotta set the scene, this.

7. Dead Battery

Multinational sitcom rating, inoffensive (self-effacing). The fountain of light infotainment, will never run dry. Another lunchbreak, another crisis. The bombs are smarter, the teeth are
whiteness. Pay per view, and we will never lose, when all channles 69.
And they'll put it right, keep it right, help you sleep at night.
Who grew up to be the dead battery? You wanna run me down and get shot of me? Who grew up to be the dead battery? You wanna run me down?
Another stitch up, another suture Johnny was right when he said no future. Put it straight so the dogs relate, wish you're brain dead TV skive.
Where's the peace? I forgot to mention, back on yer feet 'cause we die to attention. Put it right or we can just sit tight? No sentience saved my soul. Another scandal, another sighting, give
us a break and we'll all be fighting. Satisfied that we'll all be fried, but at least not look old.

8. As Seen On TV

Another group of monster teenagers shot up their school today. What makes them do it? Video games? Marilyn Manson? Oh it can't be the parents, or the fact that schools sucks, or that
the jocks do get patted on the head every time they beat up the weirdo's and the jobs you get once you graduate are stupid, boring, meaningless, and a dead end to insanity.
I can't deny it's killing me, no one loses on TV. On TV.
When Sport Utiliy Vehicles are no longer enough...you need the TERMINATOR. Stuck in traffic in Lost Angeles? Drive over the tops of everybody else. You'll crush 'em before the
Cops can catch up with you. Your precious artifact shild needs to be safe, they're talking to a kid who's skin is a different colur? Grab the kid and mow 'em down!
Each new hot generation has a statemen they wanna call their own. Tattoos? Piercings? that's for Moms and Dads. What you want do is spend your allowance on Devil horn implats,
Elephand Man head, designer tails, third leg, fourth leg -- everyone a hermaphrodite! And on a lighter note...

9. Everything's Fucked

Everything's fucked again -- Well those are harsh words my friend. Just tell me "some things never chane" -- Just tell me we're 2000. Everything's fucked again -- But go back to sleep my
good friends. "You don't think they'd ever let us down?" -- "You don't think that we'd remember?" Everything's fucked again -- But don't let it get ya my friends. Just tell me it's the first
time -- NO Tamagotchi headline. Everything's fucked again? -- But then what the hell would I know? It's just Millennial dementia -- Just my stupid magazines.
We got nothing to see -- We got nothing to do. We got nothing to take -- We got nothing to lose. And there's nothing we like -- And there's nothing we need. You got nothing to say -- 'cause
I'm telling you everything's fucked.
Everything's fucked again -- Well these are dark days my friend. Just tell me all those pretty lies -- Protect me from the downsized. Everything's fucked again -- But we'll play out happy to
the end. We'll all be paid in kind -- No contributions this time. But don't let it get you down, 'cause we'll put it back the next time. Just don't let it get you down.

10. Chump Change

Don't wann be the boy, the denizen, the chump change. I don't wanna be the next step. Don't wanna be the toy, the jettison, the chump change. I don't wanna be the first step. 'Cause we
spet the last drop.
Who decides if it's alright? I said, who decides if it's alright? Can't touch me, completely, reduction so easy. You can't touch me, not completely; your reduction is so easy.
Don't wanna be the son, the citizen, the chump change. I don't wanna be the next step. Don't wanna be the same, the medicine, the chump change I don't wanna be the first up. 'Cause we
spent the last drop.
I wanna tell you this, I wanna make you dive. I wanna be the big fish; I wanna see you fry. Yeah, see you fry. Chump change. And I spent the last drop. Chump change.

11. Stronger

You may be the stronger now, but my time will come around. I said you may be the stronger now, but my time is coming round.
Taste it. Break it. I know you hate it. Take it, make it, I know you hate it.
I won't be much longer now, you hold tight I'm coming round. I said I won't be much longer now, you hold tight, I'm coming round.
And you can't keep it a secret, but you can keep it down. You know that no one really cares until it comes around.
You may be the stronger; you may be the stronger now.

12. P.S.I. Cological

[instrumental]
