How To Measure Madness

Here we go!
If I was the prince of the Danes
Would you tell me that I'd gone insane?
Would you recoil from my touch?
Methinks the lady doth protest too much
We are what we pretend to be
So let me tell you something everyone can see
So let me tell you something everybody knows
The emperor hasn't got a scrap of clothes
How do you measure madness
When it's staring you in the face?
How do you measure madness
Because we've got no time to waste

OK!
Let's start collaborating and
Listen to my essay on the theory of my brand new mission
Under pressure so I'm jacking your beats
Now clap your hands and stomp your feet
And let me record it
Let me distort it
Chop it and screw it and then I transform it
You are my muse while I'm rocking these tunes
While I'm rapping and slapping on top of your loops
Hey! This is my thesis: everything's a remix
Assembling the pieces into something more
Hey! This is my thesis: everything's a remix and
When we work together we will strike a chord
I'm too slow on my own to go the whole distance
So I need your rhythmic assistance
Together our efforts are better than ever
Measure for measure we double your pleasure
Sum of the parts of our separate endeavours
Ain't nothing compared to what we do together
Hey! This is my thesis: everything's a remix
Assembling the pieces into something more
Hey! This is my thesis: everything's a remix and
When we work together we will strike a chord

Here we are at the end of all things
In the fires that forged the ring
In the heart of the enemy lands
To keep it from falling to enemy hands
Here we are at the edge of a cliff
But there's still a way out of this
No more armies left to give us hope
We're counting now on the littlest folk and the
Secret Ideas from sneaky hobbits
In lands where shadows lie
Secret Ideas from sneaky hobbits
will keep our hope alive

With Castle Underfoot
I'll always be protected
From the strangers and the rats
With Castle Underfoot
I'll never be rejected when I'm back
Oh Castle Underfoot
You're always there to greet me
When I'm home from far away
Oh Castle Underfoot
You never quite discovered how to stay
Away from me

Barcode Nation

When I saw it
I knew I want it
So I bought it
Now I got it going on
Automatic
It's robotic
I'm the final cylon
Undercover,
Scan your number
I plan to digitize you soon
Underwater
Got a dollar
I'll conspicuously consume
We're a barcode nation
Chose your payment
Is it blood, sweat or tears?
We're a bardcode nation
Incubating the apocalypse for years

Sub Standard
02:24

Well I've been coming to this deli
Every week and every day
No, I don't want my sub to go, man
You should know I wanna stay
Because I always eat it here
Like I do two hundred times a year
Somehow you can still always screw it up
All I ever wanted is my standard sub
Just give me the standard treatment
I'm not looking for disagreement
I'll leave if you gonna treat me
Substandardly
Look.
It's very simple...
It's ham-on-rye-on-rye-on-ham
That's rye in the middle, do you understand?
The ham is on the outside, do you get me yet?
If it's inside-in I'mma be upset
Take your fucking pickles and throw them away
Put a handful of capers right on a plate
That is upside down and turned around
So that the front of the sandwich is facing away
Wut.
Just give me the standard treatment
I'm not looking for disagreement
I'll leave if you gonna treat me
Substandardly

Amid The Ashes
03:30
|

|
I couldn't even die right in the end
Feel like I'm the only hollow left
Just because I came back from the grave
Doesn't make me anybody's saviour
Now that I must walk the earth again
Until I find a bonfire to tend
Not another soul across the land
I died a thousand times to understand
Here I am amid the ashes
Here I am in outer space
I'll be there when it collapses
Undecayed
