Lyrics
0:35I was conceived in a behavior station
0:38Light years from civilization
0:41I was born in oblivion
0:44Half Balinese half Libyan
0:47My father was a vector
0:50My mother was a specter
0:53As earthmen battle for their skins
0:56I come down with the aliens
1:11Is this not the rat age
1:13The demented Photostat age
1:16The time of no room
1:22We've broken the genetic code
1:26And left it bleeding by the road
1:28Where murderers loom
1:34You've changed your face you've changed your scent
1:38You've even changed your fingerprint
1:41Image is anything
1:46But with all this electricity
1:49You can't change your publicity
1:52The lies the many sing
2:00Down in the greed plex
2:02Under a spike of light
2:05Stop at the slave port
2:09Enter the death resort
2:11No stimulation
2:14Nothing but mono thought
2:17Re simulation
2:20Depop but don't get caught
2:59I dream to surf the rodeocean
3:02Negotiate meaning with no emotion
3:05If the kill is clean your still got time
3:08To hone evil on the tooth of crime
3:22I'm sober on the grapes of wrath
3:26While running down the psycho path
3:29Is this not a cruel world
3:32Good morning little school girl
3:35It's the rat age
3:40Good so rat age
3:46Good so rat age
I was conceived in a behavior station Light years from civilization I was born in oblivion Half Balinese half Libyan My father was a vector My mother was a specter As earthmen battle for their skins I come down with the aliens Is this not the rat age The demented Photostat age The time of no room We've broken the genetic code And left it bleeding by the road Where murderers loom You've changed your face you've changed your scent You've even changed your fingerprint Image is anything But with all this electricity You can't change your publicity The lies the many sing Down in the greed plex Under a spike of light Stop at the slave port Enter the death resort No stimulation Nothing but mono thought Re simulation Depop but don't get caught I dream to surf the rodeocean Negotiate meaning with no emotion If the kill is clean your still got time To hone evil on the tooth of crime I'm sober on the grapes of wrath While running down the psycho path Is this not a cruel world Good morning little school girl It's the rat age Good so rat age Good so rat age
