These cuts are not hits So get your blades out This scene is dead So get your spades out My nerves are frayed out My radio is played out It’s a scam On my ham They call these bands? Indie rock brothers And transistor sisters All music lovers Of unoriginal originals And shitty covers Make sure your needles hover Over this … None of these cuts are hits So get your blades out My radio is played out

Riff Itch 01:43
Adam Rock is anti-ballad He says, “No!” to pianos He’ll drop kick your acoustic He’s got the riff itch and he flips out like a light switch He’s a rock tastemaker Whose tastes aren’t all that eclectic He just wants his drums to be loud And his guitars To be electric He’s looking for a lick Of overdrive Amps buzzing Like an Africanized megahive He’s got the riff itch He just wants his drums to be loud And his guitars to be electric So bang your head Loud and proud Welcome to the age of riffage
3.
Sky Mines 02:26
I’m astral projector He got mettle detector This warrior wizard We venerated He set my course but Now I’m navigating Sky mines I’ve been birthed Buried and unearthed Corroded and inclined Exploded and divined
4.
No doubt about my feeling It snuck up from nowhere Taking drugs Leaving numb You stole it on a dare Dedications sent to those Dolts who thought you blind They were turned to the north When the barometer climbed I definitely have a feeling
5.
Animiculum 02:17
Calcium, potassium You brought ’em Feel free to seed ’em In a world where feels are free Irrigating roots of tree Animiculum A mission for your homunculus Divvy up the rewards Repay the saint Nature’s megaphone is full of paint Your yard is full of nutrients Animiculum
6.
Crept into the foyer To have a gander at Your crowded gleaming shelf Full of your novelties Glass-faceted keepsakes Gewgaws, gimcracks and tchotchkes A dried lilac branch in the tall vase Do these pussy willows seem out of place? A cut lime rind on the marble bar shelf Of the old lady’s old-fashioneds we see no trace Crept into the study To count the soldiers on Your crowded gleaming shelf All vintage volumes Ironclad brass histories And ranked they stand with pennants flying
7.
Divine Jewel 01:37
You are it You are the shit Penultimate Divine jewel Set upon earth To bear witness To dazzle And distress Each fleshbound heathen fool Divine jewel
8.
No one invited you across my border You had your own marching orders With just one look You knew you had me hooked With a junta in my heart Just a sideways glance, a little wink Put me on defense, put me on the brink You mesmerized me from the start T’was a junta in my heart You rule my world like a fascist ’Cause when you bat your lashes There’s military reaction Rising hostile faction There’s a junta in my heart Guaranteed reaction Junta in my heart
9.
He’s got a lot of views And a very short fuse Now he’s fed up at last He’s Mr. Detonator And he’s having a blast They turned his heart to stone Left him to die alone It’s the role he’s been cast He’s Mr. Detonator He’s got a lot of trusts And views of his wants Bad news Now he’s dug it up at last Mr. Detonator is having a blast He’s having a blast They turned his heart to stone It’s the role he’s been cast Mr. Detonator

Taking Drugs 02:09
Street names It induces stillness Large girth and calyxes Green crude Producers in pursuit The high they seek Ecstasy has a history Extending to 1953 Doves and eggrolls Gamma, Ohio Georgia homeboy Shaken before cooled It doesn’t come from nature Ice is the strongest of them all Known for shiny colas Working on the brain
12.
There’s a psycho In this room With a viper In its womb The salacious Sinister Incestuous Inquisitor The Unwanted Visitor Mister Sister Mister Sister Hacks through All my slumber Gives shape to All my terror A life lived in vain A life lived in error He leaves me Like meat to rot Writhing in the street This isn’t a capsule It’s my coziest tomb Hell off of earth Awaits me when I land Up on the moon For wherever I go Can’t outpace or outgrow The salacious And sinister Incestuous Inquisitor The Unwanted Visitor Mister Sister Mister Sister Hacks through All my slumber Gives shape to All my terror The Unwanted Visitor Mister Sister For wherever I go Can’t outpace or outgrow

Revel 02:20
The night is a daredevil Electrical charge in the air Throwing flowers over your wall Bright like a prodigy Don’t cry if you start to stall I’m a total fucking wreck If I’m anything at all Hide me in your arbor Let me see your harbor Revel The night is ours
14.
Paranoia is real I’m teetering on The precipice of arrest Like a funambulist I’m tottering through My drug screen test Like a somnambulist Eyes through the blinds For the love of mankind Either hit this bowl Or show me the wire You know that you’re wearing Paranoia is real Even though they say They’re not after you Illuminati messages Weishaupt ciphers Coming in on the wire Like an ambulance Eyes through the blinds
15.
Acupuncture voodoo Local news caveman Tape hissing cobra Brains in the teeth Girl scouts skipping school And this cruel, tender pyre This hound dog of fire Howling, burning bright I’m on fire tonight Minimum wage warrior— Don’t go in there! We’re optimistic for many Elvii To run up the sequestrians We’re pessimistic Colonel Tom Parker Will be open to suggestions But the stage lights burn hot On your antiquated obsessions
16.
Don’t call me Ishmael Or Howard Williams Jr. I never took my marching orders From General Lee I never really liked Boss Hogg Reading the script Amazed by his pennings We’re all quite taken with Whalin’ Jennings At the gentlemens’ club The pen is weightier Than the harpoon Winter is much more forgiving than June I'm talkin Whalin’ Jennings Poised to Impale the narwhal

Cold rock super soldier Implanted with chips Electronic wind whips Through the holes in what’s left of your soul Cold rock super soldier Your belief is the core We’ll all take the tour of rock ballads of yore We’ll all take the tour Cold rock super soldier In the mud of the trench Now receiving orders On the walls of your boudoirs We’ll all take the tour of rock ballad boudoirs We’ll all take the tour
18.
Outside my brain Maybe in Spain Where hellions trade In animosities Lost my watch One day it was gone I did not care Never would I fear the Reaper Spent half of one year Outside the sphere Of Chronos tirades And Mnemosyne Lost my car One day it was rust Prayed for its ghost Never would I drink the spirit Safe and sound in Six months of forever
19.
There’s an accidental rooster Singing “Steroid to Heaven” Fantasy sleeper blows his node In expulsion cavity We set flame to favorite nugget We’re blowing out the budget We’re off to other worlds Go! Fantasy sleeper Plunging past the worlds Cutting for stone This could be a spark I could be your Judas In expulsion cavity We set flame to favorite nugget We’re seeing other worlds Fantasy sleeper
