Man In A Tower

Man in a tower
When you see the man come down
Don’t mistake him for a clown
Listen up - don’t make a sound
He just might say something profound
He don’t need a microphone - he’s got a cyberspace home
He’s on a mission to fix your condition
And he don’t need your permission
Now that he - that he’s come down
See him steal the witch’s crown
Look around all over town, it's going down, the man came down
He doesn’t need a microphone - he’s got a cyberspace home
Open your ears and open your eyes
He says the truth but you want lies
Oh no! The man in a tower tripped an algorithm! Now he is in virtual jail! Ha, ha, ha (Ha, ha, ha)
When you see the man come down
Don’t mistake him for a clown
Listen up - don’t make a sound
He just might say something profound
He don’t need a microphone - he’s got a cyberspace home (that's right!)
He’s on a mission to fix your condition
And he don’t need your permission
What’s that, you don’t like what he said
That’s good, he hit a nerve
Now it’s your turn to talk
But you got nothing to say
Oh no!
Man in a tower - Man in a tower - He's got the power - He's a man in a tower
Man in a tower

Maintenance Man

I’m a Maintenance Man - cleaning up after you
I’m a Maintenance Man - it’s all that I can do
For a Maintenance Man - I guess I’m doin’ alright
Another Maintenance Man - I cant give up the fight
Gotta maintain - Melting my brain
Blocking out the pain - Going down the drain
I’m a man who - Keeps forgetting you
And all that you do - To make me feel blue
I’m a Maintenance Man - cleaning up after you
I’m a Maintenance Man - it’s all that I can do
For a Maintenance Man - I guess I’m doin’ alright
Another Maintenance Man - I cant give up the fight
Whenever things go dry - Feel like I’m gonna die
What money cannot buy - Why do I even try
You were a girl who - Always knew what to do
Found someone new - Room with a pretty view
I’m a Maintenance Man - Gotta maintain
I’m a Maintenance Man - Gotta maintain
I’m a Maintenance Man - Gotta maintain
I’m a Maintenance Man - Gotta maintain

Pendulum
03:25
|

As the pendulum swings left to right - The planet turns around and makes it alright
If you can hold on - onto what you know - Facts don’t change while feelings come and go
As the sunset becomes the sunrise - Things shouldn’t take - take you by surprise
I’m just watching you fall ahead - Living the dream until you end up dead
Can’t you see what it does to me - By your side is where I’d rather be
I’m getting tired of you making me wait - When you turn around it may be too late
You got me swinging back and forth - Stuck in a revolving door
Won’t you come on and give me some - Goin’ for a ride on a pendulum
As the pendulum swings left to right - The planet turns around and makes it alright
If you can hold on - onto what you know - Facts don’t change while feelings come and go
As the sunset becomes the sunrise - Things shouldn’t take - take you by surprise
I’m just watching you fall ahead - Living the dream until you end up dead
Can’t you see what it does to me - By your side is where I’d rather be
I’m getting tired of you making me wait - When you turn around it may be too late
You got me swinging back and forth - Stuck in a revolving door
Won’t you come on and give me some - Goin’ for a ride on a pendulum
Pendulum pendulum pendulum pendulum
Pendulum pendulum pendulum pendulum
As the pendulum swings left to right - The planet turns around and makes it alright
If you can hold on - onto what you know - Facts don’t change while feelings come and go
As the sunset becomes the sunrise - Things shouldn’t take - take you by surprise
I’m just watching you fall ahead - Living the dream until you end up dead
Can’t you see what it does to me - By your side is where I’d rather be

Time And Again
03:13
|
|||
You know I’ve told you time and again
That things don’t happen when you go where you’ve been
You keep on searching but it can’t be found
You try to run but you’re falling down
And time is running out - You cannot stop it
You’ll miss what its about - Before you know it
You know I’ve seen you time and again
You always go where you’re supposed to go
And if you see something you can’t explain
You call it names and the hate will flow
And time is running out - You cannot stop it
You’ll miss what its about - Before you know it
And time is running out - You cannot stop it
You’ll miss what its about - Before you know it
Have I said enough for it to get through
You know the time has come for you to get a clue
If you think that words will show the light of day
Open your eyes It’s time for you to walk away
You know I’ve heard you time and again
Talkin’ trash to everyone in town
Just when you think you’ve made enough friends
Somebody comes along to take you down
And time is running out - You cannot stop it
You’ll miss what its about - Before you know it
And time is running out - You cannot stop it
You’ll miss what its about - Before you know it
Have I said enough for it to get through
You know the time has come for you to get a clue
If you think that words will show the light of day
Open your eyes It’s time for you to walk away

Deep Down

Deep down
You’re free to choose, but not free to say
Type what you want, but you’ll have to pay
Think your own thoughts, but just for today
We’ll shut you down, like you deserve anyway
So deep we cannot see - You cannot disagree
You gotta think like me - That’s all that you can be now
Gotta keep it deep down - Better push it deep down
Your ship is sinking deep down - So get your thinking deep down
The way to survive, is to devolve
This is a problem you can never solve
Among your fellow spuds you had better hide
We gotta keep those fake divisions wide
So deep we cannot see - You cannot disagree
You gotta think like me - That’s all that you can be now
Gotta keep it deep down - Better push it deep down
Your ship is sinking deep down - So get your thinking deep down
Gotta keep it deep down - Better push it deep down
Your ship is sinking deep down - So get your thinking deep down
Deep-deep-deep-deep Down-down … Down-down-down
Gotta keep it deep down - Better push it deep down
Your ship is sinking deep down - So get your thinking deep down
Gotta keep it deep down - Better push it deep down
Your ship is sinking deep down - So get your thinking deep down
Gotta keep it deep down - Better push it deep down
Your ship is sinking deep down - So get your thinking deep down
Gotta keep it deep down - Better push it deep down
Your ship is sinking deep down - So get your thinking deep down
Deep down

Tune U Out
03:55
|

Rebel. That’s how you see yourself. Think you’re oh so woke.
Sucker. You turned me inside out. Making me go broke.
Liar. You even fooled yourself. Hey, you’re a self-made man.
When you fall in line with the big, big world, you’d better get yourself another plan. Plan!
Don’t say I gotta think like you. Don’t tell me what to do, ‘cause you know I’m gonna tune u out.
You know I’ve had it up to here. Don’t care if you’re sincere. You better bet I’m gonna tune u out.
Hey there. Let me introduce you to a spoonful of plain old facts.
Stranger to everything you know. The prophets are all hacks.
Tune out. It’s what you’ve got to do. Don’t get played like a fool.
Reporting the news, now just being used like another useless tool. Tool!
Don’t say I gotta think like you. Don’t tell me what to do, ‘cause you know I’m gonna tune u out.
You know I’ve had it up to here. Don’t care if you’re sincere. You better bet I’m gonna tune u out.
I’m tired of the things you say. Don’t try to make me stay. I don’t care how much you scream and shout.
All the good-time memories are gone. You know before too long, everybody’s gonna tune u out.
Don’t say I gotta think like you. Don’t tell me what to do, ‘cause you know I’m gonna tune u out.
You know I’ve had it up to here. Don’t care if you’re sincere. You better bet I’m gonna tune u out.
I’m tired of the things you say. Don’t try to make me stay. I don’t care how much you scream and shout.
All the good-time memories are gone. You know before too long, everybody’s gonna tune u out.
Don’t say I gotta think like you. Don’t tell me what to do, ‘cause you know I’m gonna tune u out.
You know I’ve had it up to here. Don’t care if you’re sincere. You better bet I’m gonna tune u out.
I’m tired of the things you say. Don’t try to make me stay. I don’t care how much you scream and shout.
All the good-time memories are gone. You know before too long, everybody’s gonna tune u out.

Five Minutes To Five
03:42
|
|||
Things come at five minutes to five
It’s all that I can do to just stay alive
Toiling away just makes you look like a fool
There are no lifeguards in this gene pool
Plans change at five minutes to five
Better escape before the world takes a dive
If you wait until the schedule is done
There won’t be any time to take out for fun
I don't know how I will survive
Way down the road I'm gonna drive
Can't take another minute more
I'm feeling rotten to the core
Explosions happen at five minutes to five
The bombs go off and really mess up the hive
If I’ve told you once I’ve told you before
The time is running out to walk out the door
Big things come at five minutes to five
It’s all that I can do to just stay alive
Toiling away just makes you look like a fool
There are no lifeguards in this gene pool
I don't know how I will survive
Way down the road I'm gonna drive
Can't take another minute more
I'm feeling rotten to the core
I don't know how I will survive
Way down the road I'm gonna drive
Can't take another minute more
I'm feeling rotten to the core
Plans change at five minutes to five
Better escape before the world takes a dive
If you wait until the schedule is done
There won’t be any time to take out for fun
Explosions happen at five minutes to five
The bombs go off and really mess up the hive
If I’ve told you once I’ve told you before
The time is running out to walk out the door
I don't know how I will survive
Way down the road I'm gonna drive
Can't take another minute more
I'm feeling rotten to the core
I don't know how I will survive
Way down the road I'm gonna drive
Can't take another minute more
I'm feeling rotten to the core
