Flunked immortal
Banned on all levels
And sinking faster than something previously sunk
Pain becomes numb
Eyes blur to repercussions
Time is the mind’s reset button
Whip it out, blow, reinsert
Strange how aged Nintendo cartridges and skeet-screwing have the same SOP
The Japanese are cool like that
Americans? Nah, we collectively trip at the blue line
We only know how to take
We took religion from the planet, only to slap a Jesus sticker on its lunchbox, patting its ass a little too playfully on its way to school
When we f’ked that all off, the special education branch of Caucasian society ventured seaward
We landed somehow, immediately lied to the ruling race, killed as many as we could, and sent what remained to the shitiest bits of real estate
England followed in an attempt to kill us off – a chance to save the rest of the world from the lice-esque mouth-breathers who somehow put rabbit sex to shame, but it was too late
The white man’s version of a god had already murdered, plundered, and raped the lifeforms by proxy
From the look of things, I’d say we’ve bloomed into our final form as a country; the world’s cesspool
Somehow, the lunchbox resurfaced, was polished, tripled in value, and is dating a pop star
Still clinging to that faded Jesus sticker like it means something
A “free parking” pass to a theme park which filed for bankruptcy a decade ago
We’re useless
A parking lot
Not even a good one
Rocks
Just rocks
Agent Smith saw through the ocular stench
They don’t even bother offering the illusion
Unflinching in their master stroke
Just like the good book says
Exactly; wait
It’s as though they penned it themselves
The irony of the long-game

Final Form

Also, there’s a few other things not listed here that are floating around out there. Best of luck with the hunt.

You’ve just been thinking
That’s what you do, baby
Hold it down, Dare!” – Gorillaz
