Song | The Rat Age |
Artist | T Bone Burnett |
Album | Tooth of Crime |
作曲 : Burnett | |
I was conceived in a behavior station | |
Light years from civilization | |
I was born in oblivion | |
Half Balinese half | |
LibyanMy father was a vector | |
My mother was a specter | |
As earthmen battle for their skins | |
I come down with the aliens | |
Is this not the rat age | |
The demented | |
Photostat age | |
The time of no room | |
We've broken the genetic code | |
And left it bleeding by the road | |
Where murderers loom | |
You've changed your face you've changed your scent | |
You've even changed your fingerprint | |
Image is anything | |
But with all this electricity | |
You can't change your publicity | |
The lies the many sing | |
Down in the greed plex | |
Under a spike of light | |
Stop at the slave port | |
Enter the death resort | |
No stimulation | |
Nothing but mono thought | |
Re simulation | |
Depop but don't get caught | |
I dream to surf the rodeocean | |
Negotiate meaning with no emotion | |
If the kill is clean your still got time | |
To hone evil on the tooth of crime | |
I'm sober on the grapes of wrath | |
While running down the psycho path | |
Is this not a cruel world | |
Good morning little school girl | |
It's the rat age. |
