it’s not as if I have means to involve
it’s not as though I have trade
book smarts and street art
send missiles to their heart
it sounds important but where do I start?
here are your chances, they’re running from you
300 pages that spell out the truth
talk helps but cheap like the hill up is steep
are you ready to jump for the revolution?
much like those before me
there’s much to explore
so many viewpoints and words
old voices shout where the new ones check out
will they close the gate on me if I don’t know the terms?
is this a lost cause?
it seems like it is
loyalty to boss
need to have kids
the people in charge
they will sound the alarm
right when the organizers strike
people sound right strike
charge alarm organizers strike
critical theory
what does this mean for me?
words from an old sage
and another century
good points may live there
but do modern times care?
am I ready to jump for the revolution?
lots to change now, important step
I understand for most of them
how do I make it work on my own?
am I a hypocrite
if I want a better world but I can’t commit to it?
am I ready to jump for the revolution?

Uncanny Eyes

tiptoe down to the summer sun
hotel hot tubs waiting for you
I made it nice so you could sit
and just forget about it
I wish I could be free
finally call myself me
but you make me feel so uneasy
I thought I knew you but I just can’t run from your uncanny eyes
touchdown down to a quiet place
where I don’t have to see your face
or ever ever acknowledge it’s there
and there’s no scent of fear in the air

Laura's Smile

you look like an old friend
but you have Laura’s smile
merry like a dead end
but your future stretches miles
you look like a good friend
with unfamiliar eyes
origins are still a surprise
I’ll never know how you found me
but I’ll watch you take off from here
ever rising proudly
pulled apart and hung to dry
like the styrofoam lung you bear
entangled with raven hair

Legacy Admission

footsteps
supposed to say you should follow them
like a good boy should
hey kid
what the fuck you doing lying around
you could be making money
digging holes in the ground
one two one two
your father’s rich and he
wants to wants to
send you to his school and they’ll
let you let you
in with no merit and they
tell you tell you
you’re just better for that
hey singer
this song sounds awfully familiar
you don’t even like The Fall
what child of Piece E. Shit
would ever find your legacy admission worth it
what piece of shit
would ever find your legacy admission worth it

This is a great album. Kinda like if Guided By Voices used GarageBand instead of a 4-track.

Ten years may have passed since the last Bellini record, but the math rock group sound as fierce as ever.

The enigmatic Frank Ene's solo record lives in a magical world where Serge Gainsbourg fronts Yellow Magic Orchestra.
