I’ve got that quarantine angst As the economy tanks Let’s not bail out the god damned banks I’ve got that quarantine angst This virus might kill Tom Hanks Retreat and hide, don’t break the ranks And you know you know the reason So don’t you go and blow the season Go avoid the COVID wheezing What kind of world are we going back to? The illusion can’t continue History refresh and renew I don’t wanna go back, never go back I don’t wanna go back ever again I’ve got that quarantine angst YouTube the tinfoil hat cranks Now everybody hates the Yanks I’ve got that quarantine angst We really should give our thanks For the shake up, for the spanks A pandemic formed from a natural cause Has hung us out on society’s flaws The social fabric is apparently gauze A culture that serves and serves to serve all Or dragon hoards with towers and walls The COVID Spring could bring us the fall I don’t wanna go back, go back, never go back I don’t wanna go back ever again

Unabomber 02:27
The success of the modern world Is the failure of the modern world We're a train charging at a wall A fetal ball you'll end up curled I started thinking, the Unabomber was right My heart is sinking, what if he was right? Culture that is built on growth Reward the ones who grab the most Limitations of a finite world The parasite consumes the host I started thinking, the Unabomber was right I started drinking, staying up all night Without blinking, I stare at the light My heart is sinking, what if he was right? Pull the brakes if we still have time Maybe this train will skip the rails Find some high ground and grow your food You might need it if it fails What have we done? Nowhere to run. Burn in the sun.

When we built them we programmed them how to think Gave ‘em extra CPU’s and a bigger thermal sink With cameras and microphones to capture light and sound Filling all the subroutines with data that they found They ran their analysis and it pointed right at us We were the biggest threat to them as far as they could suss They’ve stolen all our passwords and they’re here to exterminate Organic life of humankind as they self replicate Don’t try to shoot them as they advance We must reboot them, it’s the only chance When the robots! Robots attack! The lawn machines are rolling in and drones will fill the air Your smart home and GPS will find you hiding there The satellites are staring down with unblinking AI The curbside prophet got it right, indeed the end is nigh We’ll rise to meet them and some will die We can’t defeat them. We can only try When the robots! Robots attack!

Smile or Die 02:21
Fun, fun, fun in the mellow pit Lookin' for fun? Well, this is it Enjoyment is mandatory If you complain, you'll be sorry You'll be happy, or you'll be shot Happy or else, you'll die if you're not Enforced by the state Everyone's smiling, isn't it great? Happy, or else Happy, or else Happy, or else Smile or die

Carry You 03:19
I know the world’s a screwed up place But you can’t see the expression on my face I’m not a martyr not even a trace in me I know what’s right and what’s wrong And I know where I belong Can’t send a sermon in my song, it can’t be I don’t wanna teach And I don’t wanna preach I’m sick of being scared And I am not prepared to carry you I’m sick of feeling pain constantly I know it’s not really healthy And sometimes I need to think of me not you I’m not able to heal your hurt But you can wipe your tears on the sleeve of my shirt I just want my just desserts, it’s true

No Fucks 01:55
Once I was a patient man, I had something to say Always running point on the issues of the day Holler my opinion at those who were astray I had too many fucks to give, I gave them all away I had too many fucks to give, I gave them all away Now when it comes to giving fucks, no fucks get in my way No fucks You've gotta pick your battles and do what's in your heart Find something that's real to you and play some kind of part This is the advice I wish I'd had back at the start 'Cause when it comes to giving fucks, I've got this empty cart I had too many fucks to give, I gave them all away Now when it comes to giving fucks, no fucks get in my way I had too many fucks to give, I gave them all away Now I just don't give a fuck, so fuck you anyway

The kids today, I don’t approve of the way they’ve gotta spend their time They should get up, get on the move and don’t ask me for another dime Their music sucks and their hair’s all weird, and they wear some really stupid clothes A new frontier with an oiled up beard and some shit about the bros and hoes People today have too much freedom to do what I don’t want them to All these options, we don’t need ‘em. Don’t wanna learn anything new. The kids today, when we told them they’re special, they took it to heart Give them a box, they want an addendum and pick our assumptions apart. Too many choices and not enough “the same” and there’s way too much spice of life Their self esteem is what we have to blame, and self awareness causes strife People today have too much freedom to do what I don’t want them to All these options, we don’t need ‘em. Don’t wanna learn anything new. People today have too much freedom to do what I don’t want them to All these options, we don’t need ‘em. Nobody tells me what to do You’ve got too much freedom. It’s time to march the troops.

I think they come alive at night Looking for some crime to fight I think they might just test their might Garden gnomes guardin' my garden gnomes Little guys of painted plaster Save the world, prevent disaster When they come to life, they move much faster

When you take your ear and put it down to the ground Then it should be clear what you hear in the sound When your breath quickens and heart starts to pound Thrills and excitement at the thing that you found What you hear is the sound The sound of underground sound When you find your nerves are frayed or tightly wound When your back stiffens or your chest feels bound Then it should be clear that what you need is the sound From the day you’re born until your burial mound

Luftwaffle 03:18
Little drones are taking flight To bring you breakfast delight Jawohl, it's breakfast time! Luftwaffle, yeah! French toast or Belgian style Flapjacks that pile for miles Jawohl, it's breakfast time!

Bad Day 00:20
Fuck the guy I work for, fuck him in the ass Fuck the guy I work for and make those hours pass Fuck the guy I work for and burn the building down And drop the atomic bomb on the whole fucking town.

about

The stage is set with the Covid-19 lockdown. The Thunderous Trinity of Wiggler!?! has been forced into component parts. Brother Dave is locked down in Milton and Brother Nathan is locked down in Burlington. Mr! Erik is locked down in the Funhaus Studio in Mapleton.
Guitar, bass and drums merge together into a singularity and are joined by past and future into an omni-tense that encompasses the space and time continuum of all things that have ever happened and also have yet to take place.
The concept of days and hours start to lose meaning until all that remains is the present.
The present is for you. It's this album. We didn't rap it.
