Track Lyrics
Big Bang Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is not another new fashion or a new wave plastic trend
Everybody's searching for something, but in the meantime, let's all just pretend
I've got this feeling and I don't know what it is
This room is overcrowded, man, and I need air to breathe, yeah
[Chorus]
Big bang, big crunch, you know there's no free lunch
Kneel down and pray, here comes your judgment day
Big crunch, you know it's gonna be quite a show
What goes around always comes around, yeah
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
A million hopeless faces dwell within protected walls
All waiting for a moment in life when they can heed the clarion call
And it's all so oppressive my mind feels like a sieve
This city is overcrowded, man, and I need room to live
[Chorus]
Big bang, big crunch, you know there's no free lunch
Kneel down and pray, here comes your judgment day
Big crunch, you know it's gonna be quite a show
What goes around always comes around, yeah
[Verse 3]
I think of the countless shadows that have all come and gone
All suffering in the notion of better things to come
If you share these beliefs, you know I wish you well
There's no room left in heaven, and there's sure no room in hell, yeah
[Chorus]
Big bang, big crunch, you know there's no free lunch
Kneel down and pray, here comes your judgment day
Big crunch, you know it's gonna be quite a show
What goes around always comes around
No Control Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Culture was the seed of proliferation, but it's gotten melded
Into an inharmonic whole
To an inharmonic whole
Consciousness has plagued us, and we cannot shake it
Though we think we're in control
Though we think we're in control
[Pre-Chorus]
Questions that besiege us in life are testament of our helplessness
[Chorus]
There's no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end
When we all disintegrate, it will all happen again, yeah
[Verse 2]
Time is so rock solid in the minds of the hordes, but they can't
Explain why it should slip away
Explain why it should slip away
History and future are the comforts of our curiosity but here we are
Rooted in the present day
Rooted in the present day
[Pre-Chorus]
Questions that besiege us in life are testament of our helplessness
[Chorus]
There's no vestige of beginning, no prospect of an end
When we all disintegrate, it will all happen again, yeah
If you came to conquer, you'll be king for a day
But you too will deteriorate and quickly fade away
[Bridge]
And believe these words you hear when you think your path is clear
[Outro]
We have no control
We have no control
We have no control
We do not understand
You have no control
You are not in command
You have no control
We have no control
No control
No control
You have no control
It Must Look Pretty Appealing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The wheat waving next to you is healthy and so fine
As dinner with your loved ones every day
But your routine is changeless through the decadence of your life
Green pastures, open spaces, holy ways
[Chorus]
And it must look pretty appealing, the acres of lights
The crowded festive nights and the millions of others just like you
Yeah, it must look pretty appealing, this other world of sin
We keep dreaming of what other people do
[Verse 2]
The person sitting next to you is dismal and deranged
On the bus ride home from work to end your day
And the food on your table is more plastic than protein
And your intellect depends on your TV
[Chorus]
And it must look pretty appealing, the pastoral retreat
The folks on old main street and the few pleasant people just like you
Yeah, it must look pretty appealing, the simple way of life
We keep dreaming of what other people do
But we never do what other people do
You're too scared of other people not like you
You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a place where everyone can be happy
It's the most beautiful place in the whole fucking world
It's made of candy canes and planes and bright red choo choo trains
And the meanest little boys, the most innocent little girls
And, you know, I wish that I could go there
It's a road that I have not found
And I wish you the best of luck, dear
Just drop a card or letter to my side of town
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend
But baby, I'm amazed at the hate that you can send
[Chorus]
And you painted my entire world
But I don't have the turpentine to clean what you have soiled
And I won't forget it
[Verse 2]
There's a place where everyone can be right
Even though you remain determined to be opposed
Admittance requires no qualifications
It's where everyone has been, and where everybody goes
So please try not to be impatient
For we all hate standing in line
And when the farm is good and bought, you'll be there without a thought
And eternity, my friend, is a long fucking time
[Pre-Chorus]
As there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend
But baby, I'm amazed at the hate that you can send
[Chorus]
And you painted my entire world
But I don't have the turpentine to clean what you have soiled
And I won't forget it
