Robes of 8

Dum do dee dee da da
Dum do dee dee day
Just so happens it's good
Just so happened it's great
We wear the robes of the number eight
Good things do not come early
Nor do they come late
We wear the robes of the number eight...
You and I, we are buddies
You and I, we are mates
And any time that we wish to
We may enter the gate
We wear the robes of the number eight...

This is Sparta
Honor, manhood, storming the gates
Ruthless power, warrior state
Fearless, feckless warriors these
Iron will ruling the Peloponnese
Iron will ruling the Peloponnese
Oh Laconia, you shall fall
Messania and all
Rased in packs in the agoge
Drills, lashes, hardship and knocks
Speed, strength, a child of sophia
Chosen one, trained at Crypteia
Trained at Crypteia
Oh Laconia, you shall fall
Messenia and all
Come the fury up the coast
Arcadia and Argos
'Gos...
Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hike
When you strike we will just go around
Make your heads roll on the cold, cold ground
Your demise is the only thing that you've found
We were made for this
Leonidas, the way is clear
Take up your shield and spear
Victory, it is paved
With lesser men in shallow graves
Oh Laconia, you shall fall
Messenia and all
Come the fury up the coast
Arcadia and Argos

I Got the Fever
04:20
|

Got the chills, I got the shakes
Goin' fast now, gotta hit the brakes
I got the shakes, I got the chills
Cause that woman, she give me a thrill
A man in my position maybe gonna call the physician
Cause I feel something comin' on
But it don't feel wrong
No...
Said I want the girl
Wanna give her my world
Don't know where to start
I wanna give her my heart
Cause I got the fever
I got the fever to please her
And I'm ready to explode
Yeah I got the fever
I got the fever to please her
And she don't even know, no
Gotta get it together, gotta make a plan
Whatever the hell, I'm gonna be your man
Cause I got the fever
You know I got the fever to please her
And I'm ready to explode
Oh, said I got the fever
I got the fever to please her
And she don't even know, no
ha!
What can I do to show you?
What can I do to make you understand?
Maybe bring a note from the doctor
Saying this is the worst fever that he's ever had
Listen to me when I tell you girl
That I want you, I want you so bad
Head so hot now, I can't listen to reason
You know I'm out of control
I wanna be a gentleman and hide my intentions
But I just got to get her home
Cause I got the fever
You know I got the fever to please her
And I'm 'bout to explode
Yeah I got the fever
You know I got the fever to please her
And she don't even know
She don't even want to know

Another cigarrette and whiskey
I can't tell where this went wrong
World's gettin' hard to figure out now
And I don't know where I do belong
As long as space and time remain
It is that long that I'll stay
To ease the burden and the pain
Of sentient beings
It's gettin' hard to pick a side now
I tell you people, hell is real
And all them boys back up in the mountains
They don't know just how it feels
As long as space and time remain
It is that long that I'll stay
To ease the suffering and the pain
Of sentient beings
Can you dig the dirt?
Can you stay the hurt?
Can you find the worth?
On the planet Earth
Can you wait behind?
Can you lead the blind?
Do you know what's right?
Can you find the light?
And when the night gets darker still
And the evil boils and spills
And it seems there's no way out
I will become my vow
As long as space and time remain
It is that long that I'll stay
To ease the burdens and the pain
Of all sentient beings

Take it home babe... Gotta go...
Gotta get back to Chicago 'fore the whole world burns
Gotta get back to Chicago, it's not my turn
Think the whole world gone crazy
Eatin' eachother alive
Gotta get back to Chicago while I still got time
Though it's dark, baby we did no wrong
And the night is playin' our favorite song
And the lights tell us where we belong
Cause tonight, baby we do no wrong
No wrong...
Sometimes I get this feelin' that it's later than it seems
Sometimes I get this feelin' we been livin' in a bad dream
Gotta get back to Chicago don't want to hesitate
Gotta get back to Chicago 'fore it's too late
Though it's dark, baby we did no wrong
And the night is playin' our favorite song
And the lights tell us where we belong
Cause tonight, baby we do no wrong
No wrong...
Tearin' through the bars and the windows of cars
Lookin' for the missing pieces of our hearts
Lookin' for some evidence that we're not alone
Comin' back for sanity, yeah, comin' home
Though it's dark, baby we did no wrong
And the night is playin' our favorite song
And the lights tell us where we belong
Cause tonight, baby we do no wrong
No wrong...

Propaganda

Hi there I'm the person from the news
Triggering you with emotional cues
You cannot see that this is all a ruse
So let me tell you which side to choose
Hey there, here's a government man
Here to sell you a government scam
That you'll pay for with a government plan
It will not work, but we think it can!
We want your vote we're not afraid to show it
We have a budget and we'd like to grow it
You have an opinion but we want you to forgo it
Because we know best and you fucking know it
(Propaganda)
How can you think this when you're supposed to think that?
I'm outraged
How can you say this when you're supposed to say that?
I'm outraged
Tell me all about atrocity
Tell me of our enemies and the glories we must seize
Propaganda is what you must think
Propaganda means your lips must sync
They will tell you how their stories link
They will sell you on their double think
Convolution is the way to go
Total bullshit is what you must know
Complete nonsense the official sport
You'll be persuaded by what they report
Watch, believe, listen, receive
(Propaganda)
How can you think this when you're supposed to think that?
I'm outraged
How can you think this when you're supposed to think that?
We're outraged
(Propaganda)
How can you say this when you're supposed to say that?
We're outraged
How can you say this when you're supposed to say that?
We're outraged

Winberry Lavender
05:41
|

Luxuries are something that I really like
I like to treat myself to the good things, the good things in life
Fine fuckin' cheeses oh and supple leather bags
And the fine hotels, they give me some space to treat myself well
But of all these luxuries
And the comfort that you better believe that they can bring
There's only one thing to set my soul free
And after the check-in, oh the shower, it beckons
And it calls
With the finest shampoo of all
Winberry Lavender, damn you sure smell nice
A subtle hint of Winberries is certain to entice
These other shampoos can suck a fuckin' dick
They make me sick
They don't even smell right
Alright, I'm sorry
That was pretty harsh and uncalled for
In fact, it wasn't even right
But only one 'poo could get me through the night
Winberry Lavender, damn you sure smell nice
With a hint of Win'bree's it's going to entice
When I get in the shower there's only one thing that I choose
And since it give me the power it is something I will always use
Winberry fuckin' Lavender
Winberry it'll salvage ya
Win'bree it's gonna ravage ya
Winberry fuckin' Lavender
Winberry Lavender, bring that sweet shit on
When it hits my nostrils my heart sings a gentle song
And other smells may move me but they leave me high and dry
But Winberry Lavender, you bring a tear to my eyes
A come on'
(Winberry Lavender)
Bring it on
(Winberry Lavender)

Raven

Raven...
I know what that is
It's a fucking raven
Bringing you the omen
That you've been craving
Eyes of Odin, blessed bird
On blackened wings he delivers the word
Curtains flutter in the cold night air
She waits for news, is something there?
The war was raging, a king's despair
Would he return or leave her here?
God's messenger returns
With the info that you must learn
And when you've lost your way
You cannot find the light
See the sign
Raven...
She remembers what she said that day
The day he left she begged him to stay
To be decided or just to pray?
To serve two masters, love and fate
And here it is your sign
Carried on the wings of the night
When you're confusion causes you to burn
You may learn
Hey Raven
Yeah?
Bring me some good news, will ya?
Will do!
I know the raven, he's a friend of mine
Delivering messages from heaven right on time
Don't you defy him or you will meet your end
Don't be a stupid motherfucker my friend
Raven...
Deep in the forest where humans can be prey
There lives a creature who lights the way
And if you listen close you can hear him say
That all your struggles are in vain
When your confusion causes you to burn
And all your meddling has taken a darkened turn
You've lost your way my friend, you cannot find the light
But on the wings of a blackbird shall arrive a fortuitous sign
On a raven
